A hats-off to women

CEBU, Philippines - The public has become quite conscious about gender equality. Women now take on roles that were previously exclusive to men. But of course, there is still room for progress.

In the light of the upcoming Women's Equality Day, on August 26, real estate developer Aboitizland wants to spark further discussion on women empowerment. The company's shopping mall, the VisMin region's first, The Outlets, is celebrating Women's Equality not just for a day, but for the entire month of August.

Women's Equality Month at The Outlets is all about self-confidence. In its simple way, The Outlets wants to establish that women are not to be silenced. One way to do this is for women to use fashion as a statement, sending the message that the woman will not be held back, that she can take on the world just as well as any man.

Selections at The Outlets are perfectly curated for the confident woman. Beloved global and local brands are offered at up to 70 percent discount all year round. Women can walk into any store at The Outlets on any day of the week and pick out the best ensemble to make their statement. (FREEMAN)
