momWorks! by Lifestyle Network: Looking for working moms to be featured

Saw this blog post from Baby Joaquin’s website Link  and immediately thought of how excited our Super Mommies would be to be able to contribute and participate in this worthwhile project/show. Offhand, through proactive participation in our community, we already can name off Super Mommies who will fit the "profile" that they’re looking for.

I immediately called the network and talked to Miss Camille (Acting Channel Head) just to make sure it is "legit" before I repost (for my sanity!). So, it is confirmed, Lifestyle Network is definitely looking for the below people resources so if you or someone you know would fit their description, feel free to contact the network directly. The first 3 episodes are already "in the can" meaning they’ve pretty much finished filming…

Goodluck Mommies! Let us know when you go on-air will yah!!!

LIGHTS, CAMERA…ACTION!

*******************************

This May 2008, the Lifestyle Network will begin filming momWorks!, a 30-minute program that will focus on the struggles and triumphs of our modern superheroes and the many roles that they play – as wife, mother and career woman.

We want this program to be a venue for concerns and interests that are unique to the Filipina working mom–segments will feature everyday moms discussing issues and insights and applying tips and techniques for greater work-life balance.

I would like to ask for your help in finding possible guests and experts for our program. Should anyone in the list below sound like somebody you know, I’d appreciate it if you could give me their names & contact information so we can send them a formal letter.

Do feel free to forward this to friends/colleagues.

Thank you very much!
