pinay pride

this is the backside of one of the most successful filipinas i've ever met.  (photo taken this morning).



her name is mercy corrales.  doesn't ring a bell?  probably, because she hardly comes out in the papers/tv, even if she's extremely newsworthy and inspiring.

she worked with levi's for 30 years -- where she ended up running the brazil market, and later on the japan market.

think about it a (1) filipina (2) woman running levi's in JAPAN.  

and don't be fooled -- levi's in japan is on a totally different level from the levi's in rest of the world -- she pretty much made it that way.


a few years back, she was asked to step out of her retirement to run starbucks japan, with nearly a thousand stores.  

uncredeeb.
