All roads lead to the first-ever Aklan Media Summit on October 26 to 29 organized by the Publishers Association of the Philippines Inc. (PAPI) and the provincial government of Aklan.
PAPI President Juan "Johnny" Dayang said "the four-day event is a showcase of the tourism and hospitality of Aklanons to some 200 delegates and guests from as far as the provinces of Mindanao and Northern Luzon."
Aklan organizers have scheduled a seminar on ethics, broadcasting and a strategic communications management and public relations seminar workshop for public information officers, and a forum on investment opportunities of Aklan.
Dayang said the provincial government led by Gov. Carlito S. Marquez, Vice Gov. Ronquillo C. Tolentino, Aklan Cong. Florencio T. Miraflores, Kalibo Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo and Malay Mayor Ceciron Cawaling have signified their support as media partners of the summit.
With the theme, "The Role of the Press in Spotlighting Investment Opportunities in Aklan," PAPI is also conducting an exclusive seminar on communications management for information officers and public affairs executives by veteran public relation practitioners at the Aklan Training Center, Old Buswang, Kalibo, and at the island resort of Boracay on October 28.
"The eco-tourism potentials of Nabas, Tangalan, Kalibo and Libacao should be prioritized by the government, aside from the world’s beach destination of Boracay," said Dayang, a native of Aklan.
The town of Kalibo boasts of Manggad of Kalibo, the Bakhawan Eco-park and the Ati-Atihan Festival. The eco-town of Tangalan has dive sites and the Jawili Falls while the eastern town of Libacao is famous for mountain trekking and water sports.
"The media summit here in Aklan could be the biggest gathering of media personalities with Kalibo and the Boracay Island as hosts," Dayang said.
