Globe is setting a new trend with women outnumbering their male counterparts in leadership positions. This comes at a time when most Philippine boardrooms are still dominated by men. Some 52% of Globe’s executive roster are women, with 49 holding the top two ranks in the corporate hierarchy, compared to 45 men as of end 2022. This marks the first time in at least five years that there were more female executives in Globe’s core business. Women ranked managers and directors have also been increasing in the last five years, rising from 958 in 2018 to 1,193 as of end 2022. Even while there are still more men in middle management, the female population is catching up. These figures buck the trend as cited in a March 2019 study by the Makati Business Club that was supported by UN Women, the European Union and Women Empower Asia. The study “Women in the Philippine C-Suite” found that only about three percent of C-Suite positions in business across the country are … [Read more...] about Globe keeps diversity and gender balance strong with women in leadership team

Navy SEALs Could Literally Waterboard Bill Belichick, And He Wouldn’t Crack
You gotta love Bill Belichick. The NFL owners meetings held their second day of festivities Monday, and it gave an opportunity for the press to talk with different head coaches around the league, including the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick . Well, despite the media getting a chance to talk with the skippers, Belichick didn’t give them much. In fact, he was so stone-faced and simple with his words that it got me thinking … Navy SEALs could literally waterboard Bill Belichick, and he wouldn’t crack. Maybe we should have some kind of “Bill Belichick Training Class” in our military, teaching our soldiers how to be completely unbreakable in crucial and tense moments. God, that would be great.

GOP Senator Blocking Pentagon Promotions Over Abortion Policy
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama is single-handedly holding up confirmations of top Department of Defense (DOD) positions over what he calls executive overstep into Congress’ jurisdiction over abortion policies, according to the senator and media reports. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin declared in February that the department would provide leave and funding for military personnel to travel out of state for abortions if they are based in a state that bans or heavily restricts the procedure. Tuberville said he plans to continue blocking about 160 promotions of military commanders to key positions in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East and for NATO until DOD reverses the policy and shows no sign of letting up, according to Punchbowl News and Tuberville. “I hate to have to do this. It’s unfortunate. But we make the laws over here. The DoD doesn’t. This is not about abortion. It’s about taxpayer-funded abortions,” Tuberville told Punchbowl. “If this was about a list … [Read more...] about GOP Senator Blocking Pentagon Promotions Over Abortion Policy
