QUEZON CITY, Philippines — August 14, 2026 — Leadership, civic awareness, and social responsibility took center stage as TAG Media Group hosted a special Top News Asia magazine signing during The Philippine Readers and Writers Festival (PRWF) 2026 at National Book Store, Araneta City, Cubao.
Spearheaded by TAG Media Group President and Editor-in-Chief Engr. Grace Bondad-Nicolas, the gathering provided readers with an opportunity to engage directly with two prominent personalities featured in the magazine—Comelec Chairman Atty. George Erwin Mojica Garcia and corporate executive, former Congressman, and PAF Reserve Officer Brig. Gen. Michael “Mikee” Lagman Romero.
Chairman Garcia underscored the importance of an informed and engaged electorate, particularly the growing influence of young voters in shaping the country’s political future. He emphasized the need to strengthen civic education and provide voters with reliable, practical knowledge so they can make informed choices and help elect leaders capable of advancing sound economic policies and a business-friendly environment.
Romero, meanwhile, shared insights drawn from his experience in business, public service, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines Reserve Command. He stressed that financial success carries a broader responsibility, noting that wealth creation should ultimately contribute to meaningful social progress and help uplift communities, particularly those in need.
Beyond the magazine signing, the event served as a platform for meaningful conversations between public figures and the reading public. Readers gained a closer look at the personal experiences, leadership philosophies, and advocacies of personalities whose work continues to influence Philippine society.
The successful gathering highlighted the evolving role of media and publishing in creating spaces where leaders and citizens can connect beyond traditional news coverage.
