Jakarta – ASEAN PR Network uploaded a video entitled “PR in ASEAN During Covid 19 Pandemic” by Mr.Norman Agatep – President of Public Relations Society of Philippines as a kick off for its webinar series called APRN #PRCORONAVIRUS Webithon Series. The video was uploaded on Tuesday, 2nd June 2020 on APRN’s Youtube Channel. Mr.Agatep explained about the challenges for the PR industry in a crisis and the purposes as the way forward. He mentioned these are extraordinary times, we can’t afford to do our practice as we did in ordinary times, we have to accept new realities and work within new confines; digitally is a good choice. We also need to stay true to our role and purpose as communicators. Last but not least we need to find our brand’s purpose in the context of the world today.

APRN #PRCORONAVIRUS Webithon series will show the significant role of public relations in dealing with the current situation we are all facing, by acting professionally, timely communicating with stakeholders, giving advice to management to cope with various business and community situations. It is also initiated to  raise funds via Webithon to support victims of the pandemic within the Autism Community to support APRN’s commitment to Global Alliance Diversity & Inclusion Month this June 2020.
