She Talks Asia Summit 2026: Robbie Jaworski

Article (news)

Are the boys okay? Surprisingly, this was one of the topics covered at the 10th SheTalks Asia Summit 2026. True to the event’s theme, “Better Together,” community took center stage at this year’s annual gathering, and men were included in the conversation.“This is the 10th She Talks Asia Summit, and when we were brainstorming for a theme, we were very clear that we wanted it to be about community. Because that is the reason why we reached the 10th summit in the first place,” SheTalks Asia founder Bianca Gonzalez-Intal explained. With this direction, the founders tapped journalist Atom Araullo to be the first male co-chair of SheTalks Asia Summit and incorporated an all-male segment, which talked about matters from a male perspective and as allies of women to improve society.As men were given space at SheTalks Asia Summit, one of the featured panelists who shared his meaningful views was ABS-CBN actor and host/VJ Robbie Jaworski. The eldest son of Pasig Vice Mayor and former basketball player Robert “Dodot” Jaworksi and actress-athlete Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski made his debut onscreen with his role as Edward Cabrera on the Kim Chiu-Paulo Avelino primetime series The Alibi. <a href="https://metro.style/metro-style/people/2025/6/10/myx-vj-robbie-jaworski-on-honing-his-hosting-skills-reveals-the-artists-he-wants-to-interview-1157" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He is also a MYV VJ</a> and is set to be one of the new generation hosts of the upcoming youth-oriented talk show Y Speak.<div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774076255884STA_DRE2430.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Bianca Gonzalez, Atom Araullo, Lynn Pinugu, and Iza Calzado</div>Robbie may be a rising star in acting and hosting, but beyond that, he’s always been a young man of substance. He graduated from Ateneo de Manila University with a degree in management, worked in the hotel industry as a manager, and is also a passionate advocate for community development, promoting digital literacy and agriculture in youth centers with JCI (Junior Chamber International) Manila.For the young actor, being at the SheTalks Asia Summit was inspiring. “What I love so much about these inspiring women is, you know, nakapagtagumpay na sila sa sarili nilang buhay, and they&#x27;re choosing to give back to communities. That type of advocacy is very important, especially with everything going on in this world right now. Iyong pagmamahal na ipinapalabas nila sa community ng mga Filipinos is something that&#x27;s so special, and I&#x27;m actually so happy and grateful that they invited me to be a part of it,” Robbie told Metro.Style.In his own way, Robbie connected with this year’s summit theme because he considers community as a very important component of his life.“I think that you can show and advocate the value of community in many different ways. You know—iyong pakikisama sa mga tao, teamwork, collaboration, and [having a] loving environment. For those who don&#x27;t know, I worked in the hotel industry as a manager. I pushed for community in that organization na lahat tayo dito magtutulungan para makaangat tayong lahat sa buhay. So, the things that I set up in that company, which are about community, equality, and equal opportunity, are something like centralizing the service charge. When you add those incentives, or you centralize the service charge, everyone feels equal. Everyone feels like they have an opportunity to earn more money,” he shared.<div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774076532674STA_DRE2583.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Robbie Jaworski</div><div> </div>“And in my personal life, I try to push for community in outreach projects. I&#x27;m happy to be a part of an NGO called JCI in the Manila chapter. I learn a lot of things in terms of collaboration and how to help target beneficiaries by following the example of other more experienced and seasoned men as well,” Robbie added.At the SheTalks Asia Summit 2026’s “Are the Boys OK?” segment, Robbie reflected on the valuable things he learned from the discussion with Atom Araullo and comedian Red Ollero.“I really loved how Red broke down his environment so that we could all relate to his upbringing. If you really break it down, what he basically told us there was that he was defined by his family, by his friends, and by his socio-economic background. Meaning, ‘yung religious beliefs niya, mga paaralan na pinasukan niya, at mga programa ng pinasukan niya ultimately influenced his identity and his character. So, that resonated with me very well. Another thing that resonated with my heart was that when Red said, ‘You know, you&#x27;ll be fine.’ So, kahit anuman ‘yung pinagdadaanan mo sa ngayon, have faith, keep up the good fight, never give up, never say die, and you&#x27;ll be fine. I loved it,” he pensively shared.<div> </div><div><img src="blob:https://od2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com/e9992ad0-02f9-4315-bd8d-949c1339e7e3" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Atom Araullo, Red Ollero, and Robbie Jaworski</div>As an intelligent, eloquent, and empathetic young man, much of his well-balanced approach to life came from his parents. When asked about the most profound advice he received from a woman in his life, Robbie’s answer was centered on his mom Mikee’s guidance when it comes to faith.“My mom has always told me to &#x27;stay true to who you are,&#x27; and to never forget to put God in the center of your life. Although we are imperfect, just do your best. In that way, you&#x27;re able to stay true to who you are while also maintaining a sense of integrity. So, approaching life like that can allow you to approach people with an open heart, open mind, and a mentality that is to uplift instead of to put down for personal success. I&#x27;m really grateful for that advice she&#x27;s given me,” Robbie concluded.<div> </div>Photos courtesy of She Talks Asia
