GMA Network, pinarangalan sa Rotary Club of Manila Pro Patria Journalism Awards 2026

Pinarangalan bilang Television Station of the Year ang GMA Network sa Rotary Club of Manila Pro Patria Journalism Awards 2026.

Ayon sa Rotary Club of Manila, ito ay para sa pinaka komprehensibo, mapagkakatiwalaang pagbabalita at paglikha ng GMA Network ng mga dokumentaryo na nagpapakita anila ng hindi mapapantayang public service, journalistic excellence at national relevance.

Ang parangal, tinanggap ni GMA News OIC and concurrent head for News Programs and Specials, Michelle S. Seva.

“This recognition belongs to the thousands of men and women across the Kapuso Network. It also belongs to the millions of Filipinos who turned to GMA in moments of triumphs and in moments of loss. Their trust is a privilege we never take for granted,” ani Seva.

Dagdag pa ni Seva, lumalakas ang demokrasya kapag may access ang mga mamamayan sa mga mapagkakatiwalaang impormasyon.

Ang parangal aniyang ito ay nagpapaalala na ang kalayaan ng press ay hindi maihihiwalay sa kalayaan ng mamamayan.

“For freedom is sustained not only by those who fought for it, but also by the institutions that help keep it strong. A free and responsible press is one of those institutions. Asahan po ninyo na kami sa GMA News dito po sa Network ay mananatiling walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan, noon at ngayon, serbisyong totoo,” ayon kay Seva.

Pinarangalan naman bilang Television Broadcaster of the year si award-winning Kapuso journalist Atom Araullo.

“Journalism nowadays is a very difficult job to do, facts are being challenged, disinformation is everywhere and public discourse can sometimes be more distracting than illuminating, but our job remains the same, to ask questions, to follow the evidence wherever it leads and to make sure that the voice of ordinary people aren’t drowned out by the noise,” ani Araullo.

Pinasalamatan niya ang mga nakatrabaho, ang GMA Network at ang Rotary Club of Manila para sa pagkilala nito sa halaga ng malaya at independent press.

Ang Rotary Club of Manila Pro Patria Journalism Awards ay kumikilala sa mga mamamahayag at media institutions na kumakatawan sa makatotohanan at responsableng pamamahayag.

“To my fellow reporters and journalists, may we continue to do our job with courage and integrity. Maraming salamat po,” saad ni Araullo.

Binati naman ni Rotary Club of Manila President, Atty. Raoul Creencia ang GMA Network at si Araullo.

“I hope we will maintain the kind of level, I mean, the level of journalism, the truthful reporting that we undertake day in, day out. Dahil you more than anyone else know that this is what we need in our country today,” ani Creencia. — BAP, GMA News
