The 28-year-old Mikee will talk on "Playing and Motherhood" in what could be one of the most anticipated technical sessions at the four -day conclave that has for its theme "Converging the Divergence of Philippine Womensports: Issues, actions and Initiatives." Hailed as the countrys "Golden Girl," Mikee stunned a highly competitive field of world-class riders when she won the individual showjumping gold in a flawless performance on board Rustic Rouge.
The Philippines newest heroine will be joined in the technical sessions by other women sports icons like Bong Coo-Garcia (from bowling to business), Lydia de Vega-Mercado (from athletics to politics) and Dyan Castillejo (from tennis to media) who have also confirmed their participation as presenters at the confab.
Coincidentally, Mikees father-in-law Sen. Robert Jaworski will be one of the resource speakers at the Womensports Congress. The Big J, a former Olympian and one of the PBS 25 greatest players, will be speaking about "Working Effectively with Women: A Sportsmans Perspective."
Conference director, PSC commisioner Cynthia Carrion is bent on making the event not only a successful first Women Congress but also a star-studded one saying, "we have to showcase the greatness of the Filipina." Participation is on a first-come-first-served basis. Interested parties may inquire at 303-1024, 3031030 or 404-2838.
