FILIPINOS FROM both sides of the network wars won in major categories at the 12th Asian Television Awards, held at the Suntec International Convention Center in Singapore on Thursday.

Current affairs

The GMA 7 documentary show, “Reporter’s Notebook,” topped the Best Current Affairs Program category for its coverage of the war in Lebanon. It bested entries from Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

“Reporter’s Notebook” is hosted by news reporters Maki Pulido and Jiggy Manicad.

Team effort

Manicad, who also produced the winning episode, told the Inquirer via SMS: “It’s a team effort. The feeling [of winning] is great and humbling at the same time. Lebanon was one of the most dangerous coverages our program has [experienced so far]. We never thought we could come up with good material in that situation—especially one that would merit the attention of the Asian TV Awards.”

Co-host Pulido said: “It’s a great high. It doubles the pressure to produce better stories in the interest of our countrymen.”

Program Manager Clyde Mercado agreed. “Serving the people through this show is rewarding enough,” he said, but this [award] is a very special bonus.”

Best news program

The ABS-CBN late-night newscast “Bandila” won Best News Program for its coverage of the Subic Rape Case Promulgation. It bested entries from Malaysia, Taiwan, India, as well as two Philippine news shows (GMA 7’s “24 Oras” and ABS-CBN’s “TV Patrol World”).

Said Maria Ressa, senior vice president of ABS-CBN’s News and Current Affairs: “‘Bandila’ is just a little over a year old, and we are grateful that its work has been recognized by our peers in the region and the world. We wanted to put together our ideas of nationalism with a faster production pace and more succinct and analytical reporting. ‘Bandila’ has already been named one of the Top 4 newscasts in the world by the International Academy of Arts & Sciences, making it the first time ever that a Philippine network has received this recognition at the Emmys.”

Acting trophy

Gina Pareño topped the Best Drama Actress category, besting performers from New Zealand, Thailand, India and Singapore. She won for portraying the troubled mother of three mentally ill children in the “Rehas” episode of ABS-CBN’s “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”

“We were only given 30 seconds in our thank-you speech,” recalled Pareño. “I was happy and nervous at the same time. I dedicated my award to my family and our countrymen.”

Same director

The episode was megged by Jeffrey Jeturian, who also directed Pareño in the internationally acclaimed film “Kubrador.”

According to its web site, the Asian Television Awards aims to “recognize and reward program and production excellence” in the region.

"The Islanders" (Taga-Isla), directed by Miranamedina, is selected to screen at the Chicago Filipino American Film Festival, which runs from November 9 to 11 at the Chopin Theatre.

Told in exacting detail with archival photography and eyewitness testimony, the documentary is a fascinating look at Corregidor, an island fortress at the mouth of Manila Bay which was built by the Americans in preparation for enemy attack. There were five villages with a population of Filipino civilians and Philippine scouts. The island had electric cars, movie houses, service clubs, sports facilities, schools, churches, and free military transports to Manila.

But the ravages of World War II erased everything. Since most of the books on Corregidor only focus on its military history, historical vacuum exists. The need to fill that vacuum in turn led to the making of this documentary.

The film focuses on the Filipino pre-war life in bottom side as related by Dr. Selma Harrison-Calmes based on diaries, oral accounts by his mother, grandparents, and uncle.

The film features over a hundred prewar photos from personal collections and archives including probably the oldest extant document – a certificate of marriage officiated in 1880.

"The Islanders" is produced by Miryad Cuts in collaboration with Corregidor Foundation, Inc., Corregidor Historic Society, The Corregidorians, USA, National Commission on Culture and the Arts and the UP Film Center.

Miranamedina was the U.P. Film Center scholar to the Film and Television Institute of India where she obtained a diploma in Cinema major in Film Editing. She graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Sto. Tomas and studied Humanities at the University of the Philippines. An award-winning film editor, she has edited all the feature films of alternative filmmaker Tikoy Aguiluz. "The Islanders," which she researched and worked on for over a year, is her first feature-length documentary.

While it takes most artists and writers years peppered with heartbreak and disappointment before making it in the literary circle, the road to success has been relatively shorter and easier for Carlos Piocos, first place awardee for the Tula (poetry in Filipino) category of the Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature 2007, out-performing writers his senior both in age and experience.

And he is just warming up.

At only 23 years old, Piocos, a masters student at the University of the Philippines Diliman, is one of the youngest winners in the major categories of this year's Palanca Awards. He now joins the field of veteran poets, who have received recognition from the same institution and other credible literary bodies here and abroad.

Piocos' collection of poems "Corpus," which delves into the lives of a historian, an undertaker and a poet, won critical acclaim among the Palanca judges.

"I really feel privileged, honored (about the award), but it was really unexpected. I never expected to win this early," Piocos admitted.

Piocos would not have joined the Palanca awards if not for the prodding of family and friends.

For him, writing poetry is more about self-expression rather than an attempt for recognition.

"Poetry is an attempt to find a language, to put feelings into words during a vulnerable moment of a poet," Piocos stressed, admitting however that winning a Palanca gives him a sense of affirmation as an artist.

"All writers are seeking some degree of affirmation, and Palanca gives you that. It is not about the prize or the compensation, " Piocos added.

Although shorter, the road to success for Piocos was not without setbacks.

Piocos recalls feeling down and depressed when, as a young writer, he failed to qualify in several fellowships for literature. He also tried his luck in English essay writing, but failed to make the cut.

He also attempted to express his artistry through plays, but this too was not a bed of roses for Piocos. Last year, his entries in the tula category of the Palanca Awards did not make it to the winners list.

"I was really humbled by my earlier experiences. All along, I thought my creations were good enough but then I realized that there are still areas I should work on," Piocos added.

It was only after he shifted to the Filipino medium that Piocos felt comfortable with his writing, effectively translating his feelings to words.

"Writing in our language worked better for me. I think that my works in Filipino were more heartfelt and really mirrored my emotions," he said.

With his success early on, Piocos intends to pick up where he left off. Piocos is now writing several poetry pieces in Filipino, which he intends to compile into a book.
