World-class theater actress Lea Salonga and celebrated VJ-actress Donita Rose have been named by Lifestyle Network as two of its 10 outstanding women.

Salonga and Rose were chosen “for having made exceptional marks in the fields they have chosen and [for having] touched the lives of people around them as they live out their passion.”

Others who made the list were model and Lifestyle Network host, Isabel Roces; fashion designer Hindy Weber-Tantoco; stage actress Menchu Yulo; cancer survivor and advocate Kara Alikpala; and chef and entrepreneur Margarita Fores.

Rounding up the list were CCP Chairman Emily Abrera, ABS-CBN Foundation Managing Director Gina Lopez and ballet dancer Lisa Macuja.

Lifestyle Network’s 10 outstanding women were presented to the public in a simple ceremony held at Power Plant Mall last Oct. 23. The announcement also served to open their weeklong photo exhibit at the same venue.

The women will also be featured in the network’s newest logo in the mini-plugs aired in between programs.

In celebration of its decade-long existence, Lifestyle Network will air stories about 10 other women who were chosen by the viewers themselves.
