“We try to motivate people to realize their potential and find their passion so that they can become the best that they can be, and in turn do something not just for themselves but also for the greater good,” she said.  “In a conflict, the media doesn’t take sides. But it must always make a stand. We must always stand for fairness, understanding, respect for human rights and a peaceful resolution.”

Santos-Concio who contributed to the rise of the Kapamilya network as the leading media and entertainment company in the Philippines during her time as president continues to give the company recognition not only for their body of work, but for how the work is done with her new award.

The Rotary praised Santos-Concio for her “achievements as a global media leader” that has inspired the group to recognize media as a “powerful and influential tool for peace building.”  She is the first media executive to be conferred with the distinct honor.

“I hope that the men and women of the company, and the country show empathy to promote peace and compassion for a better place to live in,” she added in an interview, where she also shared how she relishes the chance to mentor young blood that will help the Kapamilya network.
