POTATO ON THE GO NEWS FEED (TV):
The most internationally-awarded broadcast network in Philippine Television has once again brought honors to the country, winning seven medals and five certificates at the prestigious 2017 US International Film & Video Festival, including a Gold Camera award and “Best of Festivals” nomination for top-notch documentary program I-Witness.
I-Witness’ winning episode, “Busal,” earned a Gold Camera award in the Documentary: News Programming-Public Affairs Programs category. The documentary produced by the team of GMA News Pillar Howie Severino showed members of the urban poor airing their grievances and hopes amid the present administration’s anti-drug campaign. It gave a face on the direct consequences of the anti-drug campaign through the eyes of those who belong to this marginalized sector of society.
