Two female pilots of the Philippine Air Force have proven that women can - literally - aim for the sky.
"Yung females kilala sila bilang nerbiyosa...pero pagdating namin sa itaas, kumbaga, malaman po namin na isa kami sa inaasahan ng mga nasa ibaba, sobrang nakakataba ng puso na nalalaman po namin na natulungan namin sila," she told CNN Philippines' News Night.
Aquinde followed the footsteps of her father - a retired master sergeant. It runs in the family, as her grandfather and uncle are also retired PAF members. "Being one of those pilots, nakaka-proud na hindi natin ina-underestimate yung skills and potentials ng isang babae as a pilot," she said. Antenor-Cruz decided to enter the Philippine Military Academy after she finished her psychology degree. Among her sisters, she was the only who decided to follow their father's footsteps in the Air Force.
