ABS-CBN, the Philippine Association of Communication Educators (PACE) and Assumption College San Lorenzo will bring students closer to the answers as they stage Pinoy Media Congress 2026 on April 29-30 at Assumption College San Lorenzo in Makati City.

Katigbak, chief operating officer Cory Vidanes, head of corporate communications Kane Choa, PACE president Reginald Gonzales and Assumption College San Lorenzo president Sr. Irene Cecile Torres, r.a., Ph.D. The two-day congress is the country’s largest learning event for communication students.

Participants can expect sessions covering digital platforms, radio and TV journalism, content creation, entertainment production, music, film, advocacy communication and audience research that are designed to help bridge classroom learning with current industry practices.
