Pia Cayetano
Senator Pia S. Cayetano is a champion of women’s rights, health, and education. A mother, lawyer, triathlete, and entrepreneur, she proves that there is no limit to what Filipino women can achieve. The youngest woman elected in the history of the Philippine Senate, Senator Pia excelled in her first term from 2004 to 2010, and was re-elected to a second term in 2010. In the last eleven years, she has pushed for the passage of several laws benefitting women, children and the elderly, while also working to improve public health services and make quality education accessible to all. Her legislative accomplishments include four landmark laws on health, including the Reproductive Health Act (RA 10354), a measure that had languished previously in congress for over a decade; Sin Tax Reform Act (RA 10351); Graphic Health Warning Act on tobacco and cigarette products (RA 10643), and National Health Insurance Act (RA 10606).
