GMA’s international channel GMA Pinoy bagged two Silver Awards at the 2022 International Film Festival Manhattan (IFFM) for its original programs Global Pinoy Unlimited and EntrePinoy Abroad.
Global Pinoy Unlimited’s award-winning episode, which aired on GMA Pinoy TV, was about the Historic Filipinotown Gateway in Los Angeles, California. The massive arch was the largest Filipino landmark in Filipinotown and is officially called “Talang Gabay (Our Guiding Star).” The 30-foot-tall and 82-foot-wide steel arch gives tribute to all Filipino immigrants and their contributions in the community.
Digital series EntrePinoy Abroad highlights the stories of Filipinos abroad who, despite the challenges of putting up their own business in a foreign land, continue to persevere and promote Filipino products to the world. The awarded feature focused on Filipina architect Evangeline Macasa Monjardin, a managing partner in an interior design and contracting company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She shared her inspiring journey on how she transitioned from being an employee to putting up her own business. It was initially published on GMA Pinoy TV’s Facebook and YouTube pages and was aired on GMA Pinoy TV.
The International Film Festival Manhattan is an independent film festival that showcases a selection of short films. Now, in its 13th year, the award-giving body focuses on social relevance as part of its programming and goals; this year’s IFFM awarding ceremony was held last November 12.
