The First Editorial Board of Asian Pearl

Meet the First Editorial Board Behind JCI Manila’s Online News Platform

Asian Pearl (TheAsianPearl.com), JCI Manila’s official publication, succeeds the traditional print Asian Pearl Journal, founded by Reginald Yu in 1998. Spearheading its digital transformation is visionary Editor-in-Chief Dan Michael Gallego, with the support of Juan Miguel Gabrino, Director for Broadcast and Communication, who championed the initiative. Established with the endorsement of JCI Manila’s 77th Board of Directors, under President Jan Adrian Padiernos, the first fully digital editorial board advances JCI Manila’s media and communications into a new era.
