                    [Summary] => 

Of the 111 elected members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), only 24 are females and one of them is Filipina Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski who took 79 of 97 votes to claim a seat in the world’s most powerful sports body at the polls in Buenos Aires recently. It’s quite an honor to be recognized by the IOC family and Mikee is only the third Philippine member since the late Jorge Vargas and Francisco Elizalde.
