In a bid to set a world record for the largest formation of the gender symbol for 'woman' as part of International Women's Day over 10,000 people gathered in the Philippine capital.

"The women's symbol puts a spotlight on how women are poised to become the social and economic powerhouses of the future," Adel Tamano, the Coca-Cola Philippines vice-president, said.
Organisers of the event said that it would still take a week before the record is officially validated by Guinness World Records.
There is no previous record for the largest human formation of a gender symbol, although the Guinness website lists 10,563 people as taking part in a giant formation of a droplet in Haryana, India in November, 2013.
