As women’s month comes to a close, it’s just fitting to pay tribute to women who successfully broke the glass ceiling and continue to do so as they lead organizations – big or small – which one way or another positively impact the Philippines.

There are many of them – too many to mention in fact, but today, I’ll just put the spotlight on tycoon Helen Yuchengco-Dee or HYD as she is known in the business community.

I recently visited her in her office in the towering RCBC Tower in Makati and the first thing I noticed is that she looks not a day older than when I last saw her, which was before the pandemic struck. This is really quite a feat, considering how everyone seemed to have aged over the past three years.

But not Mrs. Dee, the eldest of eight children of the late tycoon, educator and diplomat Alfonso Yuchengco.

And yet, the woman who leads the Yuchengco Group Clear!
