ABS-CBN won a bronze medal in the Cinematography category at the prestigious New York Festivals World’s Best TV and Films 2015 for its documentary Yolanda (Haiyan).
“When we were just told, as I was accepting the award, that the government still needs to fast track help for the Yolanda victims. I hope it does translate to a speedier recovery and at the same time I hope we have all learned our lessons on the tragedy,” said ABS-CBN Integrated News head Ging Reyes, who received the award along with broadcast journalist Chiara Zambrano.
Finalist certificates were also handed out to ABS-CBN’s morning news magazine program Umagang Kay Ganda for its coverage of Typhoon Yolanda, Wrath of Haiyan, in the Best Coverage of Breaking News category and Zambrano’s documentary titled Spratlys: Mga Isla ng Kalayaan in the National/International Affairs category.
