Philippine Rugby makes history twice as it gets a seat for the first time on the World Rugby Council (WRC), with the council’s first-ever female member, Philippine Rugby’s Secretary General Ada Milby. World Rugby is the international governing body for the sport of rugby and is one of the leading sporting federations that support a gender balance policy across all levels of governance.

Milby made her international rugby debut in 2012, and was selected as the Team Captain for the National Women’s Rugby Team the Lady Volcanoes later that year. She served as the Head of Development for grassroots rugby in 2013, launching the Get Into Rugby program in the same year and was later nominated for the Philippine Rugby Board of Directors. Since 2013, Milby has continued to make waves across Philippine Rugby and Asia Rugby, she is now looking to represent not only gender equality, but also Philippine Rugby on the global stage.
