The Palawan Group of Companies took center stage in celebrating women’s empowerment and community engagement as the key sponsor of the inaugural Naga City Women’s Run, bringing together runners, families, and supporters from across Southern Luzon to honor the strength, resilience, and achievements of women from all walks of life.

Supporting the event aligns with the Palawan Group’s mission of creating meaningful impact in the communities it serves. The company has provided employment opportunities to thousands of Filipinos nationwide, including a significant number of women, helping empower families and strengthen local communities.

Southern Luzon, particularly Naga City, remains an important market for the Palawan Group, making the event a meaningful opportunity to connect with the community while celebrating women who inspire others through their everyday contributions.

“At the Palawan Group, we believe that progress is most meaningful when it uplifts everyone. That is why we are proud to support an event that is open to all, regardless of age, background, or experience. We believe that empowerment begins with access, with opportunity, and with the simple yet powerful message: you are capable,” said Bernard Kaibigan, Chief Marketing Officer of Palawan Group of Companies.

The Naga City Women’s Run was more than a race—it was a celebration of inclusivity, solidarity, and community spirit. Participants of all ages, genders, and fitness levels joined the event, whether by running, jogging, or simply walking alongside family and friends.

Every step represented courage, every stride symbolized breaking barriers, and every finish line crossed highlighted the potential of women when they are supported and empowered. The event underscored that it was never about speed or distance, but about connection, encouragement, and recognizing the strength and resilience of women everywhere.
