MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda, a long-time advocate of Filipino arts and culture, will be delivering the keynote address at the adobo SheCreative Conference this March 26, 2024 at Shangri-La at the Fort. The good senator will be sharing her insights on the Philippines’ creative economy and its role in nation-building to kick off an afternoon filled with talks from equally inspiring women in creative fields. Her expertise on the matter, developed over more than two decades of experience in public service, make her an ideal match for this year’s conference theme: “Forging a Sustainable Future for Creativity.”
Prior to becoming the youngest-elected senator in 1998, Senator Loren was an award-winning journalist and news anchor. Her career in legislation has since included the authorship of several landmark laws in the Philippines concerning women’s and children’s rights, the welfare of the country’s natural environment, and the protection and promotion of our heritage arts.
Among the laws she has authored and co-authored are the Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710), the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262), the Climate Change Act of 2009 (RA 9729), and the National Cultural Heritage Act (RA 10066). Senator Loren has been serving as Senate President Pro Tempore since 2022, and sits as Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Culture and the Arts.
With women’s rights, the environment, and arts & culture among her chief advocacies, Senator Loren will undoubtedly bring a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to the adobo SheCreative Conference. Catch her keynote address in person at the conference this March 26, 2024, at Shangri-La at the Fort, and cap off Women’s Month with an afternoon of rousing conversation with women leading the charge in our creative industries.
