The love of music is inborn in every Filipino. Our songs fill all seasons and stages of our
lives. It is through singing that we share our sorrow, joy and hope. Plan W of Diageo
Philippines, in cooperation with the Andrea O. Veneracion Sing Philippines, seeks to
empower women choral conductors and vocal ensemble teachers to build national spirit
and character through the art of choral singing.
The Sing Philippines movement brings to life National Artist Andrea O. Veneracion’s
vision of a nation singing in harmony and united in songs.
Plan W is part of Diageo’s new 2020 sustainability and responsibility targets which aims
to build thriving communities. Through Plan W, the goal is to empower two million
women across all socio-economic profiles by 2017 giving them opportunities to learn
and develop skills to be able to influence society and the economy.
A first in the country, the collaboration of Diageo Philippines’ Plan W and Sing
Philippines aims to nourish the Filipino woman’s abilities and spirit – affirming the
nation’s gift of music, and empowering women to build national character and celebrate
life the way this nation knows best: through our music.
