DTI UNDERSECRETARY FEATURED

AT SOCIAL MEDIA WORKSHOP

Hon. Cristino Panlilio, Undersecretary for the Department of Trade

Industry, will provide government perspective at the Benita &

Catalino Yap Foundation CSR Academy’s “Social Media

Workshop for CSR Practitioners”, to be held this January 7, 2013,

from 7am to 5pm at De La Salle University.

Speaking at the morning session, Mr. Panlilio will talk about

“Government Perspective and Support for Social Media”. This

allows the Workshop’s participants to have a glimpse of how

government authorities give importance and support to social media

strategies, which have proven to be vital in interacting with Filipino citizens effectively.

Acknowledged in the private sector for his excellence in marketing management, Mr. Panlilio

heads the Trade and Investment Promotions Group (TIPG) which makes him the “Chief

Commercial Marketing Officer” of the country. Before being involved in government service,

Mr. Panlilio was involved in utility companies, food, and baking sectors. He was also a

recipient of the AGORA Award for excellence in marketing management, given by the

Philippine Marketing Association in 1990.
