GMA raises PH flag in global awards scene

by Manila Bulletin Entertainment

GMA Network continues to raise the Philippine flag on the global stage as it reaps honors from prestigious international award-giving bodies.

Just this October 8, GMA Public Affairs’ “The Atom Araullo Specials” won Best Asian Documentary in the 4th Asia Contents Awards (ACA) at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) Theater in Busan, South Korea.

“The Atom Araullo Specials”’ “Munting Bisig (Young Arms),” which was the only Philippine entry shortlisted in the said festival, bested other Asian shows produced by Netflix, Asian Boss (YouTube), and TV Asahi Production (YouTube).

This is the second international award that “The Atom Araullo Specials” won this year. Last April, the same episode gave the Philippines a Gold World Medal at the prestigious 2022 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards. The documentary delved into the plight of children working amid the global pandemic to help their families survive even if they were exposed to the COVID-19 virus.

GMA Network likewise led the Philippines’ National Winners in the News and Current Affairs categories at this year’s Asian Academy Creative Awards.

Besting other nominees to win as ‘Best Newscast” is 24 Oras Weekend. The Kapuso weekend news program anchored by Pia Arcangel and Ivan Mayrina is also the country’s representative for the Best Single News Story category. The Asian Academy Creative Awards lauded Jonathan Andal’s report on Typhoon Odette.

The Atom Araullo Specials continues its winning streak, taking home the “Best Documentary” honor for the documentary “Mata sa Dilim.”

Atom is also the Philippine representative for the “Best News or Current Affairs Presenter/Anchor” category for GTV’s flagship newscast State of the Nation.

Meanwhile, the country’s pioneering wildlife, travel, and conservation program Born to be Wild was named “Best Natural History/Wildlife Show” for its “Primer Planet” episode. This is another milestone for the show hosted by Doc Ferds Recio and Doc Nielsen Donato, which will be celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

Fresh from its highly successful season finale, Lolong is set to compete on the international stage as well. 2022’s Most Watched Philippine TV show was hailed as the national winner in the “Best Visual/Special Effects” category.

Rounding up the list of Kapuso winners is the award-winning infotainment show iBilib, which took home the National Award for “Best Infotainment.” iBilib is hosted by Chris Tiu.

As National Winners, they will represent the Philippines in the Grand Awards and Gala Finals this December. The awarding will be held in Singapore as part of the Singapore Media Festival.

Considered Asia Pacific’s “most prestigious awards for creative excellence,” the Asian Academy Creative Awards gathers the best of the best from 16 nations representing the region’s content industry.

Cholera Outbreak in Cotabato Town

By GMA TV

A cholera outbreak in Alamada town, Cotabato province, where at least eight people died after showing symptoms, was confirmed Friday afternoon by the province Gov. Lala Mendoza.

Mendoza said that the outbreak was confirmed after samples from the town were tested.

The World Health Organization defined cholera as an "acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae."

Cholera has a short incubation period of a maximum of five days. It produces an enterotoxin that causes a "painless, watery diarrhea that can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death if treatment is not promptly given."

Vomiting also occurs in most patients.

Mendoza said the tests had included chemical, bacteriological for water, and rectal swabs.

According to a separate report from GMA News stringer Garry Fuerzas, health officer Dra. Rosario Bandala said they examined more than 700 patients. Of these, 438 tested positive for Vibrio Cholerae.

Figures from the Alamada Municipal Health Office showed 769 were brought to hospitals or clinics, with 438 testing positive for Vibrio Cholerae.

The governor said the Department of Health, the provincial government and Alamada local government unit were "now taking intervention to control this outbreak."

Alamada Municipal Administrator Robin Cadava said a state of calamity, which was first declared last Wednesday, would remain over Alamada until the patients recover. The state of calamity allows the local government to use its calamity fund.

Meanwhile, Town Councilor Nolie Doromal added they had allocated P986,000 in calamity funds to help the patients.

Relatives of the eight fatalities had been given financial aid, according to the governor.

New patients

A report by GMA Davao's Jan Bautista on "24 Oras" Wednesday evening added several residents had gone to the local community hospital for treatment. They complained of vomiting, loose bowel movement, stomach pains, and dizziness.

Dr. Mary Joy Posada, chief of the Alamada Community Hospital, said in a Phlippine News Agency report that though many patients had been discharged, new patients kept complaining of stomach pain and diarrhea.

“On Monday, the patients came by batches, by 20s, even 50s, on board trucks and military vehicles,” Posada said. She added only about 178 remained in the hospital.

Still, she said the situation was better compared to the previous few days.

Hospital figures showing 600 patients were vomiting, had diarrhea and stomach pain. More than 70 percent of them have recovered and returned home.
