GMA Kapuso Foundation bags Silver Anvil Award

GMA Network’s socio- civic arm, GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF), received a Silver Anvil Award at the 54th Anvil Awards held on Jan. 30 in Pasay City.

GMAKF’s, “Kapuso Tulay para sa Kaunlaran” series which aired on the Kapusong Totoo segment of GMA’s primetime newscast 24 Oras, was awarded a silver Anvil under the Public Relations Tools – Multimedia/Digital category.

Through the project, two typhoon- damaged hanging bridges in Buhi, Camarines Sur were replaced with sturdy steel and concrete bridges, providing a safe passageway for local children to get to school and for residents to have easier access to the highway going to Iriga City.

GMAKF Executive Vice President and COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog expresses the foundation’s heartfelt

appreciation for the recognition.

“First, we offer everything to God. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without his guidance and inspiration. Tita Mel [Tiangco]

dreamed of building bridges and this came into fruition in 2017 and 2018 with the two Kapuso bridges in Buhi, Camarines Sur,” EscuderoCatibog said. He also added that

they are very happy that Anvil Awards recognized the segments they did about the the bridge, its inception, its construction, and its turnover to the community.
