GMA-7 Wins 1 Silver and 2 Bronze World Medals 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.

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.

    The report is about the year 2011

    If your pointing out the SUM of awards, then might as well post all the finalist list for both networks to defend your claims as well as the year.

    Again, its year 2011.

    @ 81 anu po batayan ninyo n tao ng mga marcos ang mga gozon at ang mga duavit? Sa katunayan p nga ay tangkang kunin ng mga Marcos ang GMA pro d n2loy. isa lng ang GMA s mga private broadcasting stations n ntira noong martial law n d nkuha ng mga marcos kasama ang Radyo Veritas ng Catholic at DZEC ng INC.

    Bangayan ng bangayan. Ba’t di na lang e-congratulate? Ba’t kinakailangang mang insulto ng kapawa pilipino? Just shows talaga what kind of culture and values filipinos have. Kaya ako, di ako nagtataka why the Philippines is such a messed up country. It’s not just because of our corrupt government. Ang ugali talaga ng karamihang pilipino ang masama.

    CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL !

    im proud to be PINOY AND KAPUSO !

  32. #66 : kung totoo nga na maraming non-profitable institutions ang GMA at may foundation pa, bakit hindi kilala ang mga yan sa mga tulong na ibinigay? Bakit ang ABS agad ang rumesponde kung mga banta sa sakuna or trahedyang pangyayari? Nasaan ang GMA? Nassan si Elissa? watch for it…
