Top News Asia Featured Leaders: Comelec Chair George Erwin Garcia & Gen. Mikee Romero
Top News Asia magazine features two of the notable leaders during The Philippine Readers and Writers Festival 2026. The gathering and magazine signing was hosted by TAG Media Group and held at National Bookstore in Cubao.
Spearheaded by TAG Media Group President and Editor-in-Chief Engr. Grace Bondad-Nicolas, the event brought together two powerful guest speakers: Comelec Chairman Atty. George Erwin Mojica Garcia; and corporate leader, former Congressman, and PAF Reserve Officer Brig. Gen. Michael “Mikee” Lagman Romero.
Noting the significant role that young voters played in the recent election, Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia emphasized that an informed electorate – driven by an empowered youth – is the most reliable engine for sustained national progress. He called on leaders across both the public and private sectors to champion civic education initiatives, arguing that equipping voters with actionable knowledge ensures the election of leaders who will drive sound economic policies and foster a business-friendly environment.
Brig. Gen. Mikee Romero shared his journey as a successful businessman and dedicated public servant. Renowned for achieving corporate success early in his career, Romero emphasized that wealth creation should serve as a tool for driving positive social change rather than an end in itself. He detailed his transition into national service, highlighting his active role in supporting marginalized communities through the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Reserve Command.
