The newly-elected president of one of the country’s most reputable organizations of business executives is involved in a case of violence against women, so a number of women civic leaders aren’t having it.
In a letter dated December 5 obtained by Rappler, the leaders said they were “disturbed” to hear of his election as the organization’s president for 2025. The signatories of the letter were former senator Nikki Coseteng, former social welfare secretary Judy Taguiwalo, activist nun Sister Mary John Mananzan, performance activist Mae Paner, actress Monique Wilson, multi-awarded journalist Inday Espina-Varona, former Gabriela representative Emmi de Jesus, and human rights activists Zena Bernardo and Edna Aquino.
They said that since the organization’s leaders wield significant influence within and beyond the business community, having someone with such charges as their president may risk eroding public trust in its leadership, along with its role as a champion of fairness and accountability.
