Voices of Honored Women Leading Purposeful Lives

Iya Villania and Marian Rivera shares their take on what it’s like being a woman of today

When we were little, our mother served as our inspiration. However, at the time, we were unable to truly comprehend that our mothers are strong agents for good. The world would not function as it does without the daily tasks they perform, which are what keep it turning.

These days’ mothers do many different duties and wear multiple hats, and often there are enormous expectations for them to have it all. Iya Villania-Arellano and Marian Rivera-Dantes are two mothers who seem to have some kind of harmony between their enterprises and motherhood.

Iya Villania – Arellano is an actress, singer, model, and TV presenter (what can’t she do?) Known for her work as a VJ on Myx, this multi-talented multi-hyphenate is a mother of four. She somehow finds time to be a parent on top of everything she does.

Iya gets her strength from her children. She says: these days, their opinions matter more than anything else. he wants her children and her children’s children to experience Mother Earth in all her beauty. That’s why she tirelessly pursue sustainable living so her children can live in a better world.  In her advocacy, she found a reliable and like-minded partner in Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation.  The company has launched in the market the first-ever seasoning product in paper packaging, the AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning 45g which is made from natural and renewable paper material that can be planted, grown, harvested, and replanted

She believes that women’s month is more than just about celebrating women’s beauty and strength, but also their voices. She is using hers to build a better world for her children. She’s not the only one who is giving her all for what she believes in. Another mom to highlight is Marian Rivera-Dantes!

Marian Rivera-Dantes needs little introduction. This celebrity powerhouse wows us again and again with acting, modeling, hosting, and running a business! On top of all that, she’s even a mother of two. Becoming a mom has made Marian hyper-aware of her children’s health, and she knows that other women all over the Philippines are just as concerned about their children.

She is big on education and explaining. She gently and patiently includes her own kids in her cooking. She talks to them about how to incorporate veggies rather than fighting with them about it. According to her, it’s not just about telling them not to eat sweets; it’s about incorporating them into the cooking. We should be teaching them what ingredients are for and how flavors interact. She’s been involved with nutrition education advocacy, and she lives it every day.  She and Zia leads the “I Love Veggie-Licious” campaign introducing new era of cooking for kids to enjoy vegetables made delicious with Aji-Ginisa® Flavor Seasoning Mix.

Both these women are a shining example of creating a positive impact with their passion and influence, and Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation has been a long-time partner of these two Moms as  “Eat Well, Live Well” ambassadors.

They are a powerful force with platforms to reach millions, and they use that to do as much good as they can, not just for themselves but for the children who will take over after us.

Marian and Iya are both aware of what Mom used to produce. Our comfort comes from more than simply the food and the wisdom Mom imparted to us. It’s also about the impact mothers have on the world. Mothers bring about positive change in our lives by modeling excellent living and eating habits. They also teach us how to be decent citizens.

This Women’s Month, let us honor all women, including dog moms, aunts, and real mothers. Together, let’s bring about a positive change in the world, with each person contributing in a different way. What can you do when Marian and Iya are completing theirs?
