She Can 2025 went beyond a simple awards ceremony, honoring women for their workplace contributions, resilience, and community impact. The initiative began with an open call for nominations, gathering 78 inspiring stories of women colleagues who lead by example, uplift others, and overcome challenges. From these, 12 honorees were selected across She Can Lead, She Can Inspire, and She Can Conquer, each showcasing unique strengths and unwavering perseverance.
At the heart of the celebration was the She Can Empowerment Forum, where noted journalists Ces Drilon, Bernadette Sembrano, and Jacque Manabat shared their personal experiences and insights about taking charge and breaking barriers. Manabat, a former ABS-CBN reporter, delivered a powerful message: "Iba ang lakas ng babae (The strength of women is unique). We don't let our scars define us but rather nurture those scars to make a difference, make an impact, and use our skills for good.” She encouraged women to step outside their comfort zones as a path to growth and self-discovery.

Martha Sazon, President and CEO of Mynt, the holding company of GCash, further amplified this message, emphasizing the company’s commitment to women empowerment: “At GCash, we don’t just celebrate women—we invest in their success. Women are leaders, innovators, and change-makers, and their resilience drives not just our company but entire communities forward. Through our initiatives, we are creating an ecosystem where women have the tools to thrive in and beyond their careers. When women rise, we all rise.”
The initiative's honorees were presented with unique plaques, symbolizing their light and strength, as they shared their journeys and reflections. The efforts of GCash to empower women extend well beyond the “She Can” initiative. Women comprise 47% of GCash’s workforce and hold 49% of leadership positions, far surpassing the industry average. The company also partnered with Connected Women in 2023 to provide STEM skills training, enabling Filipino women to thrive in the evolving digital economy.
“She Can 2025” affirms the commitment of GCash to celebrate and empower women in tech. By honoring their innovation, leadership, and resilience, GCash inspires future generations of women to break barriers, drive advancements, and create transformative impacts in the tech industry and beyond.
