The Contest Theme

Working on this year’s theme—Lakbay Kasiyahan—the Vision Petron 2015 winners delved into the well-known cheerful character of Filipinos, who have proven themselves to be among the happiest people on earth. Always looking at the bright side and hoping for the best while dealing with life’s challenging situations, the Filipino national character is deeply rooted in their abiding faith, and best experienced with loved ones, or in community festivities.

For its consistent wins over the years, the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) has awarded Vision Petron with a Hall of Fame Award for winning the Anvil Award of Excellence in the PR Tools/Publications category eight times since 2001. The Vision Petron Art Collaterals have also been recognized with the PRSP Gold Legacy Award for having earned nine Excellence and one Merit Anvil Awards over the years.
