🎥 Navigating Energy Leadership with H.E. Sharon S. Garin, Secretary of Energy of the Philippines In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026, Dato' Ir. Ts. Razib Dawood, Executive Director of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) had the honour of speaking with H.E. Sharon S. Garin, Secretary of Energy of the Philippines on women’s leadership and the future of ASEAN’s energy sector. Guided by the IWD 2026 theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls,” this conversation highlighted the importance of creating more inclusive pathways for women and young people to lead, innovate, and thrive in energy. Secretary Garin reflected on her journey in public service and her perspective on energy security, resilience, and inclusivity. She shared that leadership in energy is shaped not by gender, but by preparedness, competence, and the willingness to serve, while also highlighting the importance of mentorship in opening doors for the next generation. As ASEAN continues to navigate a rapidly evolving energy landscape, conversations like this remind us that building an inclusive energy future requires not only bold policy and innovation, but also visible leadership and meaningful action. 👉🏼 ACE: aseanenergy.org 👉🏼 ACCEPT: accept.aseanenergy.org #ASEAN #InternationalWomensDay #ForAllWomenAndGirls #Energy #GenderEquality
