Fifteen employees were accorded loyalty awards for having served Manila Standard for at least a decade as the newspaper marked its 33rd anniversary last month.
“You are the foundation of this media outfit. Without you, without all these years in service, we would not be here,” Manila Standard President and Publisher Rollie Estabillo said during an intimate luncheon Thursday held at the El Calle Food Hall in Resorts World Manila.
“There are challenges we’ve gone through and are going through, but there are still things to look forward to. I congratulate all awardees and I hope you stay with us and I look forward to working with you in the years to come,” he added.
