The Foundation for Professional Training, Inc. (FPTI), which owns and operates Anihan Technical School, was recognized by Insular Life’s Sheroes Awards 2026 last March 12, 2026, Thursday, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, together with several women awardees championing poverty alleviation through social entrepreneurship and various initiatives.
Ms. Imelda Nibungco, FPTI Chairman, Ms. Fil De Guzman, School Director of Punlaan School (San Juan City, Manila), Ms. Aileen R. Clutario, School Director of Anihan Technical School (Calamba City, Laguna), and Mrs. Elizabeth M. Lopez, School Director of Banilad Center for Professional Development (Cebu City, Cebu) graced the event together with other women professionals — Sheroes —whose lives have embodied courage, determination and strength, for the good of their communities.
InLife’s Sheroes is a movement launched by Insular Life set to empower women through financial education, health and wellness, women-specific solutions, and access to business. Now in its 7th year, InLife’s Sheroes continues to inspire many Filipino women to #StartWithin. It drums up a call to action for “every woman to recognize her worth, to embrace her potential, and to take the first step toward the life she truly wants.”
Thank you, InLife Sheroes, for recognizing what FPTI schools like Anihan have done to empower women in the tourism industry for so many years now, equipping them with quality skills training in Cookery, Bread and Pastry Production, and Food & Beverage Services, and facilitating their gainful employment and tapping into their entrepreneurial potential.
