EJAP, Ayala renew ties for Business Journalism Plum
‘We are proud to continue our partnership with EJAP and to support the journalists whose work helps strengthen public understanding and accountability.’
The Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) and the Ayala Group have once again sealed a partnership for the 35th EJAP Business Journalism Awards, both promoting excellence in business journalism for more than two decades now.
The signing of the renewed collaboration was done between EJAP officials, namely EJAP president Ted Cordero and vice president for External Affairs Lorenz Marasigan, and Ayala Corporation chief social infrastructure officer Paolo Borromeo on 3 September.
The 35th EJAP Business Journalism Awards is supported by Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land, BPI, Globe Telecom, ACEN, AC Health, AC Logistics, ACMobility, ACX, Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc., Mynt, iPeople and Ayala Foundation.
The broad participation reflects the Group’s continuing support for the awards and its recognition of the important role of business journalism in helping the public better understand the forces shaping the economy and their daily lives.
The EJAP Awards have become one of the country’s leading recognition programs for economic and business journalism, honoring work that brings greater clarity and insight to important economic and business matters. By recognizing excellence in the profession, the awards also help uphold the value of credible, insightful, and responsible reporting.
“Ayala has supported the EJAP Business Journalism Awards for 25 years. What has sustained the partnership is a shared belief that credible business reporting serves both the market and the public,” Cordero said. “Ayala is one of the oldest enterprises in the country, and it understands why rigorous business and economic journalism matters. Its support is what allows EJAP to keep running the awards and honoring the best work in the field.”
Borromeo said supporting the awards is consistent with Ayala’s broader commitment to advancing national development.
“A trusted press and well-informed citizens are important to building strong institutions and a resilient, inclusive society. We are proud to continue our partnership with EJAP and to support the journalists whose work helps strengthen public understanding and accountability,” Borromeo said.
