Binibining Pilipinas 2020 candidate Gila Salvador breaking norms and perceptions



Alexangela ‘Gila’ Salvador made a ‘leaf of faith’ at seventeen deferring her Business Management studies at the Ateneo de Manila University to start her own business. At age 18, the Nueva Ecijan lass earned her first 7-digit income.
Now 25, Gila is one of the 40 vying for one of the titles in Bb. PIlipinas 2020. “Being immersed in the world of business taught me so many things that have helped me grow into the woman I am today,” quipped Gila. “I want to be an inspiration to everyone, to let them know that everything they crave for, hope and pray for is at the very tip of their fingertips,” added the CEO and president of three corporations.
An advocate for independence and self-reliance, Gila, who is training under the Kagandahang Flores camp, became the owner of a construction and interior design company at age 19, a chain of restaurants at 24 and only last year, a realty development company with a hostel in Siargao Island for its first project.
Having all these, Gila has decided to share her life’s successes through her YouTube Channel – Making it happen, to empower women and the youth to expand their boundaries, cross their limits and push their passions. “It does not matter if you’re a CEO or an employee, you all have the skills that you can use not only to reach, but to build your own dreams as well,” said surfing and diving enthusiast.
But the big question is “will Gila’s extraordinary success story run all the way to the finals of Bb. Pilipinas 2020. As Gila always says, “make it happen, nothing is impossible.” (Report and Photos by Eton Concepcion)
