GMA Network Chairman Atty. Felipe L. Gozon was recently awarded Communicator of the Year (COTY) in the Executive Leader category by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Asia Pacific.

The award was in recognition of Gozon's outstanding contributions to the field of communication – taking the lead in transforming GMA Network into the country’s leading broadcast organization and constantly redefining the landscape of Philippine broadcast media.

"I would like to thank IABC Asia Pacific for this very great honor," said Gozon in his acceptance speech. "Being named Communicator of the Year in the Executive Leader category by a very respected global community of communicators is deeply meaningful to me. This recognition holds even greater significance in a year of convergence—the 55th anniversary of the IABC, the 75th anniversary of our company, GMA Network, and receiving this prestigious award at the age—my age of 85."

Gozon was nominated for the IABC Asia Pacific Communicator of the Year Award by GMA Network Vice President and Head of Corporate Affairs and Communications Angela Javier Cruz.

As the third consecutive winner from the Philippines of the IABC COTY Award in the Executive Leader Category, Gozon joins the esteemed group of previous awardees that include Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) President and CEO Jose Teodoro K. Limcaoco and Grupo Agatep Chairman and CEO Charlie A. Agatep. 

"I see (Atty.) Gozon as an impressive individual," says Barbara Pesel, Chair of IABC Asia Pacific Board of Directors. "He's a leader that through his communication with his team, he inspired the people to recognize the importance of the Philippine culture. And it was, I think, this collaboration and this bringing these people together that made GMA what it is today. And for that we recognize the importance of his work, and award him the Communicator of the Year." 

The IABC Pacific Communicator of the Year Award (COTY) honors exceptional communication excellence and recognizes individuals who have demonstrated excellent leadership skills in strategic communication.
