Filipino Wins First Global PR Award

The first awardee of the Global Public Relations Practitioner of the Year is from the Philippines—Ron Jabal, chair and CEO of Pageone Group.

This was announced during the inaugural World Public Relations and Communications Awards held on Sept. 21, during the World Public Relations Forum at the ITC Grand Chola Hotel in Chennai, India.

Jabal was declared the winner by the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, the confederation of the world’s major PR and communication management associations and institutions, representing over 360,000 practitioners and academics around the world.

Jabal, who just graduated from the prestigious Swiss School of Management with a doctor of business administration degree, was also recently declared best PR practitioner in Southeast Asia during the fourth Asean PR Excellence Awards held in Vietnam.

He is also bound for Rome this October to receive his several global Stevie awards, which include PR Executive of the Year, Thought Leader of the Year (business services) and Executive of the Year in the advertising and marketing management category.
