This month, Lifestyle Network is celebrating women and women empowerment and it got me thinking about women athletes, who are some of the best examples of strong, independent women. So here's my list of the top 3 FIlipina athletes in history.
Elma Muros-Posadas - Sadly, the young generation may remember Elma for her long stint in GMA 7's Survivor Philippines, but sports fans know her greatness lies in athletics. One of the true iron women of the sport, Muros-Posadas has shown great consistency and dedication over the years as she is the most be-medalled South East Asian Games (SEA Games) athlete of all time. She boasts of copping a total of 15 golds in the biennial event, which impressively cam in at multiple categories. Winning golds in long jump, 200 meter run and the 100 meter dash, Elma's most impressive performance would probably be in 1991, when she went on her usual winning ways, despite being "on the family way." When people talk of great athletes with the strength and determination to win consistently over a number of years, Muros-Posadas has to be on top of that list.
