We were so surprised last October when we received the message that our documentary, Agapayan had been officially selected by the committee of Catholic Mass Media Awards. We weren't really expecting that such a big announcement will shake us out. We've tried to send out the entry but our expectation was really low because we know the standards of this great award giving body plus of course, the pressure of other participating universities like La Salle, Ateneo and Letran.
Last Friday was the judgement day. Our Executive Producer (Kabie) and Director (Mark) headed to GSIS theater to represent our production team, Bravo Prod. Together with them is our beloved dean and professor, Dr. Edna T. Bernabe. As I reviewed the list of the finalists a day before the event, I felt that the other documentaries in our category were also great (getting ideas from the titles alone). So it was too overwhelming to know that we made it. We won the Best Student TV Production. It was just yesterday that I took hold and felt the 'rock' award and up until now, I am still on cloud nine. Been receiving a lot of congratulatory messages from schoolmates, professors (Sir Ricky Rosales even greeted us a while ago on his DZMM radio program. Hihi.), family and friends and daddy just said that my roundtrip ticket to L.A. is assured, perhaps this summer. I just can't believe it all.
I can't thank God enough for all these overflowing blessings. This year had been so great to me. Thank you to Catholic Mass Media Awards for this recognition. It means a lot to us, budding media practitioners. This makes us even inspired. Again, thank you Lord. Just, thank you.
PS. The dokyu I was referring to was this dokyu I posted last summer: Summer 2013

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
