A Filipina Tamaraw business leader based in the UAE has bagged two major awards from the Office of the President of the Philippines and the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO).
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte awarded Dr. Karen Remo, CEO, and Co-Founder of New Perspective Media Group and Alumna of Far Eastern University with a 2021 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Overseas (PAFIOO). A medallion from the Office of the President and a certificate of recognition from the CFO Chairperson for the ‘Pamana ng Pilipino Award,’ a distinction given to overseas Filipinos who have brought pride and honor to the country—through excellence in the pursuit of their profession.
Meanwhile, Dr. Remo has also been recognized in the 2021 Migration Advocacy and Media (MAM) Awards for raising public awareness of Filipino migration, advocating for Filipinos overseas, and promoting a positive image of overseas Filipinos despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, she earned a distinction as one of the ‘Media Advocate’ awardees, a new category introduced last year to laud Filipino media migration personalities around the globe.
Commenting on her twin recognitions this 2021, Dr. Remo said: “These awards are testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment of both of our teams at NPM Group and TFT. For over a decade, we have witnessed a diverse yet cohesive group of professionals who went beyond their call of duty to share the company’s ethos and mission that aim to uplift the lives of Filipinos and their families no matter where they are in the world.”
Dr. Remo, a trustee of FEU Alumni Foundation, Inc., is also a recipient of the 2018 FEU Green and Gold Outstanding Alumni Awards.
