The leaves details are compared to the lives of women seeking success while being rooted in Filipino values, while the diamonds embedded in the leaf symbolize the sparkling smiles of people that she encounters. Sapphire, Ruby, and Topaz represent the Philippine flag and the yellow pearl details represent “creativity, intelligence, optimism and fear of God – characteristics that make every Filipina a gem in her family.”
