GMA’s Atty. Felipe L. Gozon: An inspiration to the youth


GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon’s formative years are featured in a storybook for children titled “Kapuso Mo, Atty. Felipe L. Gozon.” 
 
Produced by LG&M Corporation, the children's storybook publishing line of the Vibal Group, the book narrates how family values played a role in helping Gozon overcome certain challenges and paved the way for his success later in life.
 
It is part of the Go Negosyo Children’s Storybook Series, which showcases successful entrepreneurs and their life stories. Each story highlights the values they learned in their youth as well as the difficulties they have encountered on the road to success. 
 
“Atty. Gozon had an interesting childhood,” says Niño Calalang, Managing Editor for LG&M Corporation. “The lessons he learned from his childhood and how he succeeded in life are good subject matters to relay to children who want to become successful one day.”
 
Gozon has had many notable achievements in various fields such as law, media, public service and business and is a recipient of several awards, including the Gintong Parangal Award in the Field of Business and Community Service given by the Kapisanan ng mga Samahan sa Malabon (1993), Outstanding Citizen of Malabon Award for Legal and Business Management given by the Kapisanan ng mga Samahan sa Malabon (2005), Outstanding Manilan Award in the field of Social Responsibility and Broadcasting given by the City Government of Manila (2011), Quezon City Gawad Parangal Most Outstanding Citizen for 2011 given by the City Government of Quezon (2011), Tycoon of the Decade Award given by BizNews Asia (2011), Personality of the Year for Broadcast Media given by SKAL International Makati (2013), and Visionary Management CEO Award given by BizNews Asia (2013). 
 
For Gozon, this storybook highlights the importance of the values that he learned at home in shaping his future and fulfilling the goals he set out to achieve. “The principles of hard work, generosity, and integrity that my parents and grandparents taught me, as well as their advice and good example, became the foundation for who I am today and guided me in my pursuit of excellence,” expresses Gozon. 
 
“With this book, I hope to impart these same values to future generations and inspire them to keep pursuing their dreams,” he furthers.
 
“Kapuso Mo, Atty. Felipe L. Gozon” is written by Genaro R. Gojo Cruz and illustrated by Domz Agsaway.
