ABS-CBN’s ‘Storyline’ Wins Big at the 2011 New York Festivals

"Storyline" bags two medals at the New York Festivals.

ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs led the winners from the Philippines at the prestigious New York Festivals (NYF) International TV and Film Awards 2011 by taking home two medals for the documentary program “Storyline” and eight finalist certificates.

“Storyline,” which airs on ABS-CBN every Wednesday and on ANC every Thursday, bagged a Silver World Medal in the Biography/Profiles category and a Bronze World Medal in the Community Portraits category. “Storyline” was also awarded a finalist certificate in the Social Issues/Current Events category.

Rounding up the winners from the Kapamilya network’s news and current affairs division are “Bloodbath in Manila,” TV Patrol’s coverage of the Manila bus siege, and Ces Oreña Drilon’s the docudrama “I Survived,” which both received finalist certificates.

Storyline, now on its second year, is the first current affairs show in the country without a host, relying on narrative and cinema to tell its stories. The thematic series was created by filmmaker Paolo Villaluna and writer Patricia Evangelista.

Evangelista, who produces Storyline along with other ANC human rights documentaries, writes the show’s narrative through the voices of its storytellers. The same independent production team that built the show in May of 2008 remains largely intact, with this year’s medals adding to the bronze for the 2010 Best Music Video “Ako ang Simula.”

Meanwhile, the New York Festivals also awarded top caliber drama “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” starring Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa, and phenomenal fashion-serye “Magkaribal” topbilled by Gretchen Barretto and Bea Alonzo with finalist certificates in the newly introduced Telenovela category.

The promotional spot titled “Altar,” created by ABS-CBN Creative Communications Management for the fire prevention month, was also named finalist for the Copywriting: Promotion Spot category.

With a total of eight finalists, two of which winning medals, ABS-CBN Corporation is the country’s biggest winner at this year’s New York Festivals. The New York Festivals® World’s Best Television & Films™ recognize the “World’s Best Work™” in news, sports, documentary, information and entertainment program as well as in music videos, infomercials, promotion spots, openings and IDs.

    GMA 3, abs 2!!!ang pinaguusapan dito kung panalo ka o hindi, do not count kung hindi ka naman nanalo!!!wag palusot kapamilya!!!

    iba ang GMA talaga bukod sa winner sa awards international, panalo sa rating panalo pa sa kita 2010!!!

    bakit panalo sa kita… ang ABS ang daming maghahat hati sa kita ang GMA konti lang samantalang napakaliit ng lamang ng abs sa kita… meaning mas kumita pa rin ang GMA kaya nga may sapat na pera ang GMA para sa operations ng kumpanya e ang abs kailangan pang mangutang para ipambayad sa dating utang dahil walang sapat na pera!!! itanong nyo na lang sa PSE ang kaso ng abs doon.. GMA panalong panalo over abs!!!!
    congrats GMA!!!!

  17. iba ang kpamlya tlga!!!!!!pangworld classsssss!d ktulad ng ibng station dyan!!!!!

  18. Anong nirereklamo mong bias na biggest winner ang ABS? Di mo ba naiintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng biggest? They got the most number of recognition, edi sila ang biggest winner. Ang GMA major winner kasi 3 ang nauwi nilang silver as opposed to 2 ng ABS.

    kahit finalist ka sa lahat ng categories kung wala namang panalo wa epek, pero kung finalist ka sa isang category pero panalo ka naman di ba mas panalo yon… ganyan ang GMA, kahit 4 lang ang entries panalo naman ang 3 e ang abs 8 ang entries pero 2 lang ang panalo, o sino ang totoong panalo.hay kapamilya wag palusot pag talo tangapin. i count ba naman ang hindi naman nanalo. palusot nyo luma na!!! mas wagi ang gma !!!

    3 ang GMA at 2 lang ang abs yan ang totoo!!! marami kang entries kung kaunti lang ang panalo ok, pero kaunti nga ANG ENTRIES PERO MAS MARAMING PANALO DI BA MAS MAGANDANG TAGUMPAY IYON…hay kapamilya wag palusot, pag talo ,tanggapin/….

    i think sa dami ng sinubmit ng bwat network e 4 lng sa entries ng GMA ang naconsider as finalist..kya nga 3 medals at 1 cert, samantalang 8 ang naconsider sa abs as finalist.. 2 medals at 6 certs. ibig sabihin pag napili ka as finalist e winner na kasi d lahat ng sinasubmit e napipili as finalist,…

    ang galing talaga ng GMA, pang interrnational talaga. daig na naman ang kapamilya, tyak masasakit na naman ang ulo nila bukod sa talo na sa rating talo pa sa awards pang international…congrats GMA,, truly no. 1!!!

  39. To be a finalist means a big thing already! Kahit finalist man lang eh proud na dapat! To get more finalist would mean very good ang mga programs ng ABS.
    To get award means mas ok yun ryt!
    Kahit finalist inaaward din ng NYF!
