As Town&Country Philippines celebrates its fourth anniversary, the staff commemorates five beautiful, powerful women from different walks of life with the help of the people who know and love them most: their friends and family.

Leading the pack is September 2011 cover girl Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel, passionate political activist and advocate of women’s issues. Fellow femmes Soccoro Ramos, Josie Natori, Geraldine Javier, and Solita Monsod complete this year’s set of Wonder Women. In T&C, the people close to their hearts lovingly relate the many roles these women play in their lives and how they became the successful individuals they are now.

Scroll through the gallery below for a sneak peek.
