About The Modern Filipina
Hi, sis! Welcome to The Modern Filipina.
Let’s be real: being a young Filipina today is a lot. You’re adjusting to your first job (or your third), trying to figure out where your salary actually goes, keeping up with skincare trends, and somehow still finding time for yourself and the people you love. And then there’s always that one relative asking when you’re getting married.
You’re not alone in this. That’s exactly why The Modern Filipina exists.
Who We Are
The Modern Filipina is run by a Gen Z Filipina who’s going through the same things you are: the career pivots, the budgeting struggles, the self-doubt, and the small wins worth celebrating. We’re not experts on a pedestal. Think of us as your online big sister. We’re a few steps ahead on some things, still figuring out others, and always willing to share what we’ve learned.
This blog started as a personal project, a place to learn how to build a website from scratch, create content, and grow a community. Along the way, it became something bigger: a space where Filipinas can find honest, practical advice without the judgment.
What “Modern Filipina” Means to Us
A modern Filipina is informed and empowered to make her own choices. It doesn’t mean turning your back on tradition, and it doesn’t mean you need to have it all together. It means having the information you need and the confidence to decide what’s right for you, whether that’s your career, your money, your body, or your relationships.
What You’ll Find Here
- Career: Job hunting, workplace realities, salary negotiation, and growing in your field.
- Money: Budgeting on a Philippine salary, saving, credit cards, and building financial independence.
- Wellness: Mental health, self-care, and taking care of your body without the pressure.
- Beauty: Skincare and makeup that work for our skin, our climate, and our budget.
- Relationships: Love, friendships, family dynamics, and setting boundaries with kindness.
Everything here is written with the Filipina experience in mind: our salaries, our families, our culture, and our realities.
