QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- Makati City Mayor Abby Binay has been recognized by media entity Tatler for making it to the list of 32 Women of Impact 2022.
According to Makati City's Public Information Office (PIO), Tatler Asia handpicked 32 women who have made great strides in changing the cultural spectrum—from business and finance to arts, public service, sports, education, technology and philanthropy. These women are shining examples of women achievers who are serving with purpose and passion.
In the article, Tatler commended Binay’s service to the estimated 629,616 Makatizens for six years now. It also enumerated some of her administration’s pioneering projects aimed at effectively addressing the needs of the masses.

In the article, Tatler commended Binay’s service to the estimated 629,616 Makatizens for six years now. It also enumerated some of her administration’s pioneering projects aimed at effectively addressing the needs of the masses.
These include the “All-in-One Citizen ID” which Binay rolled out in 2017 to accelerate the city’s digital transformation towards becoming a Smart City, and Makati being the first city in the country to implement the automated distribution of cash aid during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other projects that her administration pioneered also include the Bakuna Makati COVID-19 response program; priority infrastructure projects such as hospitals, sports complexes, and schools; distribution of school supplies and scholarships to its students; and various cash grants to the city’s senior citizens.
“When women succeed, it is often viewed as something so unexpected. But history will attest to the many times and countless ways women broke through stereotypes to do the impossible. The issue, therefore, is acceptance beyond mere recognition. A woman’s success must be treated as the norm and not the exception,” Binay said.
“Society needs to put women on equal footing with men because our success is no less significant than theirs. We have earned our stripes. We have paid our dues. Recognize, honor and pay tribute to women not because we were ‘the first ever’ or ‘the only’ but because you recognize that we have the power to succeed,” she added.
The list also includes Vice President Leni Robredo, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, International Olympic Committee Executive Board Member Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski, Department of Tourism (DOT) Secetary Berna Romulo-Puyat, and Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Maria Rosario-Vergeire, among others.
