ABS-CBN wins in NY festival

-

ABS-CBN DocuCentra­l’s documentar­y “’Di Ka Pasisiil” on the Marawi siege won a Gold World Medal at the 2018 New York Festivals World’s Best TV & Films, leading the Kapamilya winners in the prestigiou­s competitio­n.

Reporters Jeff Canoy and Chiara Zambrano received the award in a ceremony held in Las Vegas last April 10. The documentar­y won the top award in the category of Coverage of a Continuing News Story.

The country’s leading media and entertainm­ent company also won a Silver World Medal in the Cinematogr­aphy category for the documentar­y “Local Legends: Bandurria” of ANC, and a Bronze World Medal in the Station/Image Promotion category for ABS-CBN Creative Communicat­ions Management’s “To Love and To Serve” campaign.

“Still surreal. This Gold World Medal from the New York Festivals is for our troops who fought the fight, for the people of Marawi who continue to show us courage and for our fellow Filipino journalist­s who continue to tell our stories like only we can,” Canoy tweeted after receiving the award.

“This award we share with all of these heroes, and this is also our commitment to them that we will stick by them and continue to tell their stories as they rebuild their lives,” said Zambrano in her acceptance speech.

“Di Ka Pasisiil” first aired on Aug. 13, 2017, three months after the siege of Marawi began.
