Before joining ABS-CBN Corporation in 2007 where he recently retired as the head of its corporate communications division, Osorio served as president of Campaigns Advocacy and PR, Inc (CAPRI), the social marketing and below-the-line arm of Campaigns and Grey, for 18 years. He also chaired for 17 years the Communications Arts Department of UST, where he has taught for 30 years now.

Meanwhile, during the IABC Philippines induction ceremony with Sen.
