For this final Women’s Month cover story, the spotlight turns not only to stories of progress, but also to the voices working behind the scenes to make that progress visible. At 24, journalist Allen Limos is part of that effort, covering a wide range of beats while bringing attention to people and perspectives that might otherwise go unheard.

As a reporter and digital anchor for The Manila Times, Limos covers a demanding range of topics, from the Manila beat to health, science and church stories. A graduate of the University of the Philippines Baguio with a degree in communication, major in journalism, she brings both training and a lived perspective into the field. Before entering the newsroom, she also worked as a model and writer for a private company, experiences that broadened her understanding of visibility and storytelling in very different spaces.
