The LausGroup of Companies (LGC) hosted its highly anticipated Annual Media Party at the Carworld Function Hall, City of San Fernando, Pampanga, on December 16, 2024, bringing together Pampanga’s media community to celebrate a year of collaboration and shared success.
LGC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lisset Laus-Velasco expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the local media for their steadfast support and pivotal role in promoting Pampanga’s vibrant culture, thriving businesses, and rich heritage. She was joined by the entire Laus family: Tess A. Laus, Matriarch and President of MTL Food Corp.; Paul Tristan A. Laus, President, LausGroup of Companies; Carissa A. Laus, Vice President & Executive Director, LausGroup of Companies; Levy Adrian A. Laus, Vice President & Executive Director, LausGroup of Companies; and Diorella A. Laus, First Vice President & Executive Director, LausGroup of Companies.
“Media holds the power to shape the image of a province—either building it up or breaking it down. In the past, most of the spotlight was often on Metro Manila or Cebu, with little attention given to other regions. But today, thanks to Pampanga’s dynamic media, our province gets the recognition it truly deserves. They continuously highlight our rich arts, vibrant culture, world-class culinary scene, thriving businesses, and boundless potential. This not only inspires Kapampangans to take pride in our heritage but also strengthens our sense of identity and belonging. I am deeply grateful to Pampanga media for their unwavering love and pride for our province, showcasing its greatness to the world,” Laus-Velasco shared during her speech.
Themed “Thankful Together”, the event emphasized LausGroup’s appreciation for the media’s role in fostering a positive image of Pampanga. The celebration featured lively games, raffle prizes, and Christmas gift packs, creating a festive atmosphere for the attendees.
Members of the media also congratulated Laus-Velasco for her recent recognition as a recipient of the Most Outstanding Kapampangan Award (MOKA) for Business, a testament to her leadership and dedication to community service. Her parents, the late Levy P. Laus and Tess Laus, were honored in previous years for their remarkable contributions as MOKA awardees.
The LausGroup Annual Media Party has become a cherished tradition, strengthening the bond between LGC and Pampanga’s media professionals. This year’s gathering not only celebrated the successes of Pampanga but also reaffirmed the vital role of the media in shaping its future.
