What separates an average athlete from a consistent champion?
It’s that special kind of intelligence called ‘bodily-kinesthetic IQ’. That combined with dedication and perseverance, honed from a young age refines body awareness, coordination, and motor skills.

Pia Cayetano welcomes tennis champions Johnny Arcilla and Marian Capadocia, both dominating the sport since their early age and were recently recognized by the Senate for their continued excellence.

Society has placed numerous responsibilities on women, in today’s world where they are expected to be equal providers for their families. Despite this shift, women are still held to traditional expectations of managing the household and fulfilling their domestic roles. This raises a critical question: Are we able to do them all at the same time?
Senator Pia believes it’s possible—and she acknowledges there are significant challenges involved. Known for her unwavering focus on action-oriented and resilient Pinays, Senator Pia launched Pinay in Action (PIA) in 2019. This advocacy initiative champions sports and women empowerment, with its acronym cleverly derived from her name. Women are undeniably capable of achieving great things, but deep within, there’s often a tug-of-war between prioritizing self-care and pushing forward to accomplish goals. As Senator Pia aptly puts it, 'You don’t have to limit your dreams just because you have to work.'
