Read excerpt
This year’s National PR Congress of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines carries the theme “Steward the story: From clout to legacy.” It is a well-intentioned theme. It is also, I would argue, a symptom. Not of bad intentions. Of an outdated self-concept our profession has carried for decades and has been reluctant to let go of. For most of its modern history, Philippine public relations has defined itself by narrative. We write. We pitch. We publish. We manage media relations, craft
