21st Philippine Advertising Congress in Subic

We all know about what happened in the last couple of weeks. Pepeng really did a great job in crippling the preparations for the 21st PAC. However, this did not deter them. What we considered a disaster turned out to be an inspiration to the advertising world. They stayed positive amidst all that’s been going on with our country.

To give way for the speedy reconstruction of Northern Luzon, the 21st PAC pushed through by deciding to change venues and still stick to their schedules while dedicating this year’s event to those who were devoured by the said typhoon. They saw the typhoon to be just a mere intermission to an episode, a different shade of grey… Whichever perspective they prefer, it still shows positivity. With effective communication, everything is all set. And if you wish to learn more about this prestigious event, you can visit their website (www.adcon.com.ph). See you there!
