Consultant to the Billionaires Board Member & Tag Media Group CEO Grace Bondad Nicolas Spearheads Asia Leaders Awards’ Top 50 “Rising Tigers: Nation Builders”

Asia Leaders Awards Board Member Engineer Grace Bondad Nicolas—the woman behind successful shows, marketing adviser to billionaires, and serial entrepreneur—spearheads the launch of business and lifestyle magazine “Rising Tigers: Nation Builders” to recognize the Top 50 Rising Tigers in the Asia Pacific.

This milestone, another brainchild of Asia Leaders Awards (ALA) Committee will be held on March 22, 2022, at the Grand Hyatt Manila at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

“Asia Leaders Awards presents the Top 50 Rising Tigers in the Asia Pacific to motivate us all that in spite of the challenges, we will emerge triumphant. These are the top leaders with the very new vision of the world now,” shared billionaire Robert Laurel Yupangco, an esteemed member of the ALA Board.

Recognizing Inspiration through Action

Engineer Grace Bondad Nicolas has indeed emerged triumphant amidst the limitations of the lockdown, proving that no challenge is big enough to dampen her spirit of achievement, tireless action, and continuous inspiration to all her constituents as a civic leader and her partners as a business leader.

“We have so many challenges already. What we need right now, to acknowledge these people who are giving us inspirations and motivations. It’s like they are our mentors, who keeps on telling us to push upward and fight for the best. That also in Unity, we can do more,” shared Engineer Nicolas.

She has recently elected Vice President for External Affairs by the Los Baños Chamber of Commerce & Industries (LBCCI) as she concurrently holds the position of first woman President of the American Association of the Philippines (AAP), Lieutenant Governor Elect of Division 3A (Metro Manila) of the Kiwanis Philippine Luzon District, Vice President of the Makati Tourism Foundation, and certified mentor of Go Negosyo.

Even before all of these top posts, she is the co-founder as well as the face and energy behind her three flagship companies—AG Builders and Developer, TAG Media and Public Relations, and AAA Cosmetics and Trading Company.

TAG Media and Public Relations is the power behind the Philippines and Southeast Asia’s largest business awards event, the Asia Leaders Awards.

Producing Successful Shows, Balancing Success and Family

With her overflowing entrepreneurial mind, ALA isn’t the only blockbuster production that TAG Media Group has produced and launched.

She has produced the music industry’s ALIW@40 Concert and the Best of ALIW Concert in partnership with ALIW Awards, and recently launched Asia’s Best Singing Competition—Season 3 and Pandemic Heroes—CEOs Series online with The Manila Times, where she writes a regularly for business and lifestyle.

TAG Media’s signature event, however, remains the annual Asia Leaders Awards, whose fourth-year recognitions were held at the Embassy of Singapore. The recognition body acknowledges leaders who continue to make a difference in the Philippines and beyond.

Despite wearing multiple hats for multiple organizations, this empowered engineer remains grounded.

She has taken up her father’s legacy by founding and managing Laguna’s newest eco-tourism destination, Hidden Hills Farm by Josefino, named after her father who was also her inspiration and mentor.

“In this crisis, it’s your time to prove your worth and make a difference. Even while in lockdown, you can still do something productive and be of help to others by sharing your blessings,” she said, encouraging everyone to follow her lead.

Combining Brave Strength and New Happiness

Being the epitome of strength and positivity, Engineer Nicolas opens 2022—The Year of the Water Tiger, with Asia Leaders Awards’ take on the theme of Very Peri, “the happiest and warmest of all the blue hues,” Pantone’s Color of the Year.

“This combination of bravery, strength, newness, and happiness is what symbolizes the changes and the difference the world is experiencing as we look to move beyond the isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic,” explained Engineer Nicolas, the moving force behind the ALA Board.

By taking on this “empowering mix of newness” with a “carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates the creative spirit that in result helps a bigger community or the world,” 2022 will be an auspicious year for both leaders and constituents, businesses and customers!
