One of the local PR agencies that I’m always happy to work with is COMCO Southeast Asia because of their professionalism. Their media relations personnel are a breeze to work with, their events are always well-organized, and the campaigns that they are involved in are always purposeful. I'm proud to have participated twice in the agency’s Write To Ignite Blogging Project as a way of sharing my personal stories of optimism with my fellow Filipinos during this COVID-19 pandemic.
