The country’s finest Filipina athletes took center stage at the 3rd All-Women Sports Awards 2026, a celebration not only of sporting excellence but also of the growing movement to strengthen opportunities, recognition, and support systems for women in Philippine sports.

Held on March 20, 2026 at the Philippine International Convention Center, the event gathered some of the nation’s most accomplished female athletes, sports leaders, and advocates in a powerful show of unity for women empowerment through athletics.

Organized by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the annual awards ceremony honored outstanding performances across multiple disciplines while reinforcing a broader goal — ensuring Filipina athletes receive the support they need to thrive and inspire future generations.

Adding strength to the initiative was Fossil, the event’s official watch sponsor. The global watch and accessories brand reaffirmed its commitment to women empowerment and social responsibility by supporting a platform that highlights the achievements and aspirations of female athletes.

Through its partnership with the awards, Fossil underscored a message that resonates far beyond sports: the success and dedication of women athletes deserve visibility, investment, and long-term support.

Helping celebrate the achievements of the awardees were Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto, Senator Bong Go, who chairs the Senate Committee on Sports, PSC commissioner Olivia “Bong” Coo, and Fossil Manager–APAC Distribution Fanny Choi, representing the brand’s continued partnership in championing women’s sports.

PSC Chairman Patrick C. Gregorio emphasized that the All-Women Sports Awards represents more than recognition — it serves as a platform to inspire future generations to dream bigger and pursue excellence.

He stressed that women athletes should not be viewed as a separate category but as vital contributors to Philippine sports and national pride.

Gregorio also acknowledged persistent challenges faced by women athletes, particularly disparities in recognition and visibility, noting that stronger and more consistent institutional backing remains essential.

As women continue breaking barriers across sporting disciplines, initiatives like the All-Women Sports Awards and partnerships with brands such as Fossil are helping build a future where Filipina athletes are not only celebrated for their victories — but fully supported in every step of their journey.
