An influential thought leader in Philippine business and public relations, Junie strongly believes that communication is the most valuable gateway to building trust. A belief he holds with such fervor that it became the cornerstone of a dream venture he founded with two of his closest friends exactly two decades ago.

Under his fearless and visionary leadership, EON rapidly evolved from its humble origins as an events organizing network into the country’s pioneering stakeholder relations firm, and eventually into the internationally acclaimed integrated communications agency that it is today.

In 2017, Junie switched from hands-on management to legacy building, handing over the reins of the company to a professional team that he had personally trained and promoted from within. He continues to participate actively in industry associations and foreign chambers where he drives conversations that help shape national policy and public opinion, particularly on country branding and ASEAN Integration.

Junie has been part of the PRWeek Global Power Book since 2014.
