Seoul, South Korea – May 13, 2025 – MPT South gained recognition as a Bronze
Stevie® Award winner in the Innovation in Communications/Public Relations
category, for its impactful Drayberks Road Safety Advocacy Campaign at the
prestigious 12th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards held in Seoul, South Korea. This
esteemed accolade marks a significant milestone for MPT South, representing its
inaugural Stevie® Award and underscoring the company’s growing influence and
commitment to exemplary advocacy initiatives such as the Drayberks Road Safety
Program.
The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards stand as the premier business awards program
honoring innovation across all 29 markets within the Asia-Pacific region. Globally
recognized, the Stevie Awards celebrate achievements through distinguished
programs like The International Business Awards®, now in its 23rd year.
Since its inception in 2018, MPT South’s Drayberks Road Safety Advocacy Program has
pioneered efforts to cultivate responsible driving behaviors and elevate road safety
awareness among Filipino drivers of all classifications. Targeting a broad spectrum, including
public utility drivers, transport groups, logistics companies, and various mobility
stakeholders, the program embodies a proactive approach. Recognizing drivers as central to
road mobility and safety, Drayberks was thoughtfully designed as an ongoing, adaptive
educational initiative. It transcends the limitations of a singular seminar, providing a
continuous reinforcement of traffic discipline and awareness, effectively bridging the crucial
gap between theoretical traffic regulations and their practical application in real-world
scenarios.
The Drayberks Road Safety Advocacy program was lauded by the Stevie® Award
committee for its innovative approach to public engagement and its demonstrable positive
impact on commuter safety throughout Metro Manila and Southern Luzon.
Ms. Elnora D. Rumawak, Officer-in-charge of MPT South, expressed her profound gratitude,
stating, “The Bronze Stevie® Award for our Drayberks Road Safety Campaign is a deeply
cherished honor for the entire MPT South team. Our vision was straightforward: to empower
drivers to become safer and more informed road users. Through collaborative spirit, creative
ingenuity, and unwavering dedication to our purpose, the Drayberks Campaign has evolved
into a true advocacy. This recognition fuels our motivation to continue pushing the
boundaries of innovation and to consistently deliver excellence for our nation and its people.
Together, we aspire to even greater achievements in the future.”
“The 12th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards received an impressive array of outstanding entries,”
said Maggie Miller, President of the Stevie Awards. “This year’s winners have clearly shown
their dedication to innovation, and we commend their resilience and imaginative efforts.”
