The Philippines’s top women athletes were honored and their achievements celebrated at the 3rd All-Women Sports Awards 2026, an event that continues to push for stronger support, investment, and systems that allow Filipina athletes to thrive. The ceremonies were held at the Philippine International Convention Center last March 20, 2026.
The All-Women Sports Awards is organized by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), with Fossil as the event’s official watch sponsor. Fossil, an international watch and accessories brand, continues to champion women’s empowerment as part of its environmental and social initiatives. Through its support of the awards, the brand reinforces efforts that inspire the next generation of young Filipina athletes, affirming that their work is seen, valued, and worth pursuing.
More than 80 Filipina athletes attended the ceremony, with 38 awards presented to recognize excellence across different disciplines in Philippine sports. Among those honored were members of the Philippine Women’s Football Team (Pilipinas), named Athletes of the Year, and swimmer Angel Otom, who was recognized as Para-Athlete of the Year. First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos was also named “Ina ng Atletang Pinoy” in recognition of her support for female athletes.
Giving words of encouragement and helping present the awards were Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto and Senator Bong Go, Chair of the Senate Committee on Sports. They were joined by Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) commissioner Olivia “Bong” Coo, as well as Fanny Choi, Fossil Manager–APAC Distribution, who represented the brand’s continued support for women’s sports.
In his message during the event, PSC chairman Patrick C. Gregorio emphasized that the All-Women Sports Awards goes beyond recognition. He shared that it serves as a platform to inspire future generations of Filipina athletes to pursue excellence in sports. Gregorio also noted that women athletes should not be seen as a separate category, but as integral contributors to the country’s sporting success and identity. He pointed out the ongoing imbalance in recognition, where women often work harder for less visibility, an issue the PSC aims to address through stronger and more consistent institutional support.
