For my colleagues in ABS-CBN News, the reporters, remote broadcast specialists and interns most especially, who have shown us gumption and grit against the grind and spirited storytelling in the name of service.

But also to break boundaries in how news stories are told,” Canoy said.Bagaoisan honored the efforts of the behind-the-scenes personnel who mount the news org’s daily operations.“One of our slogans at ABS-CBN says in Filipino, ‘Whatever the challenge, whatever the season, we serve steadfast and true.’“You can’t keep good men and women, excellent men and women down. Despite our limited resources and reach, our team strove to find ways to still do what they do best, and this marathon digital livestream of the biggest religious event in the Philippines embodies that,” Bagaoisan said.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17171243968371717124394335.png" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>The team behind Patrol ng Pilipino</div>ABS-CBN Integrated News and Current Affairs Head Francis Toral said the latest recognition for digital initiatives is a testament to the organization’s commitment to provide news and public service in new formats.“It’s been an amazing transformation for the ABS-CBN News team.
