Bicol Mail
The Bicol Mail, a pioneering and crusading 52-year old weekly that eventually became a regional publication, is a must read newspaper then as now because of its readability, credibility and responsibility.
Founded in 1953 by a journalist - guerilla leader - public servant in the person of Leon Sa. Aureus (the first mayor of Naga City), the Bicol Mail earned nationwide respect for outstanding journalistic craftmanship. And in recognition of its achievement it was awarded in 1960 as “the best edited provincial newspaper of the Philippines”. It flourished in influence until abruptly cut by martial law in 1972.
This year, as it celebrates its golden anniversary, nephews and other close relatives of the founding publisher led by civic-business leader Nilo P. Aureus, owner and general manager of the GoldPrint Publishing House, decided to rise and face a historic challenge by reviving, without fear or favor, the venerable Bicol Mail, on the very occasion of the 55th charter anniversary of Naga City last June 18, 2003.
It is expected not just to stand out as a new model in the field of newspapering but as a well-managed business enterprise.
