In her speech, the GMA reporter said, “Thank you Rotary Club of Manila for this recognition. Nagbibigay po ito ng inspirasyon sa mga mamamahayag tulad ko na dumaan din sa pagsubok sa aming trabaho sa panahon ng pandemya at nitong nakaraang eleksyon.”
During her speech, Sandra also mentions one of the most daunting challenges journalists like her face every day. “Isa po sa aming kinahaharap ay 'yung realidad na marami tayong mga kababayan na napapaniwala ng mga maling impormasyon sa social media na kadalasan ay nagpapanggap na balita. At GMA, while we are present on all media platforms and working hard to provide accurate information, it is unfortunate that fake news is still being spread,” she explains.
Sandra admits, “As journalists, we are not perfect but we do our best to present accurate and fair news reports at all times. This is our way of standing our ground hoping that the public would be able to tell that with mainstream media, they get the accurate information and they see accountability in cases of shortcomings.”
Among the other journalists who received the award are Joaquin “Quinito” Henson for Sports, Iris Cecilia Gonzales for Business reporting, Deo Macalma for Broadcasting, Jose Roberto “Roby” Alampay for Documentary, Alex Magno for Geopolitics, and Clarissa Ward for International Journalism.
