GMA Network’s News and Public Affairs Department brought home five medals — the biggest medal haul by a Philippine media network in a year — from the 2008 New York Festivals for Television Programming.
GMA's Reporter's Notebook snagged a gold medal for its episode titled "Batang Kalakal". The news magazine TV show is hosted by senior news producer-reporters Maki Pulido and Jiggy Manicad.
The I-Witness teams of Sandra Aguinaldo and Howie Severino each got a silver medal for episodes "Iskul Ko No. 1," and "Huling Hala Bira!," respectively.
GMA reporter Jun Veneracion's story titled "Engkuwentro," featured in Reporter's Notebook, received a bronze medal.
An episode in Emergency, titled "Mga Batang Nagsusunog," got a bronze medal, which is a United Nations Development Program special award under the NY Festivals.
Emergency is hosted by veteran journalist Arnold Clavio.
Clavio, Severino, Pulido, Manicad, Aguinaldo, and Veneracion attended the awards night. With them were Severino's I-Witness team executive producer Ella Evangelista, and Reporter's Notebook executive producer Johnson Tam.
