On October 28, PHTimeIsNow: A Time and Place to Connect with Fellow Filipino Trailblazers will be hosted at the Harvard Club of New York City. Beth Dela Cruz, the CEO of the Jollibee Group’s, will be one of the speakers.
“I am honored to share our Jollibee Group story at the historic Harvard Club NYC for the PHTimeIsNow forum,” shared Beth Dela Cruz, President for Jollibee Group North America Asian Brands (Jollibee, Chowking, and Red Ribbon). “Being on stage with accomplished Filipinos like Bobby Lopez and Loida Lewis inspires us to work even harder to share Filipino pride here in the United States and around the world.”

Dela Cruz joins the company of well-known trailblazers like Loida Lewis, a philanthropist, businesswoman, and author of “Why Should Guys Have All the Fun?,” and Bobby Lopez, a composer for Frozen, Coco, Avenue Q, and Book of Mormon who has won a Double EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) award.”.
Lopez, who was raised by Filipino-American parents in Manhattan, graduated from Yale University before penning music for regional theaters. Lopez became the youngest person to win all four trophies and the first Asian to do so when he won his first EGOT in 2013, when he was 39 years old. As the only person in history to earn a double EGOT, Lopez got his second Oscar in 2018, cementing his status as a legend in the realms of theater, music, film, and television.
Lewis, a practicing attorney in both the Philippines and New York, was the first Asian and Filipino woman to pass the New York bar without having studied law in the United States. She also served 10 years as General Attorney in the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (currently U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services) and won her discrimination action against INS in 1979.
Headlining the full-day summit is Karen Davila, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated news anchors who has been recognized globally and locally for her achievements in journalism as well as her contributions to various advocacies and charities.
In order to give Global Filipino Trailblazers, Mentors, and Changemakers a platform to share their own narratives of learning, achievement, and growth and to inspire the next generation to achieve higher heights in both their personal and professional life, PHTimeIsNow was established in June 2018.
