I think that’s what’s so important about being in the public eye,” she added. “You have the power to make a difference, and I want to use that power for good.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/19/belle-mariano-is-nylon-manila-s-latest-cover-star-1445"><strong>READ: Belle Mariano is Nylon Manila’s latest cover star<br/></strong></a></div><p>Aside from Belle, this year’s “Women to Watch” list also includes her fellow Star Magic artists Anji Salvacion and Amanda Zamora.
