GMA-7 Bags 3 Awards at the 2011 New York Festivals
The Philippines bagged 5 trophies from the 54th New York Festivals, three of which are courtesy of GMA-7.
The Kapuso network bagged a Silver World Medal for "Biyaheng Totoo" (Real Journey) in the Special Report in News: Reports/Features category.
The cinematic version of the "Lupang Hinirang," on the other hand, won for the network a Bronze World Medal in the Music Video category. The two-and-a-half-minute music video retells Philippine history through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu's victory over Magellan's troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos' peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA.
Another Bronze award was given to GMA-7's I-Witness: "Paraisong Uhaw" (A Parched Land) in the Social Issues/Current Events category under the Documentary/Information Program heading.
Aside from the 3 world medals, GMA-7 also received a finalist certificate for "Born To Be Wild: The Born Expeditions Finale" in the Nature & Wildlife category.

ReplyDeletemaganda ang performance ng GMA.Ma impress talaga ang makapanuod nito.go!GO!GO! keep up your good work.
ReplyDeleteNatupad ba itong Biyaheng Totoo? Nanalo na ng award pero wala pa rin nangyayari. Isang taon na si P-noy sa pwesto pero kahit isang bayan sa sampu na pinakamahirap na bayan wala pa ata natupad. Hindi kaya propaganda lang ni P-noy itong programa na ito noon nakaraan na election? O baka naman para lang manalo ng award kaya ginawa lang itong episode na ito.
