1st Davao Media Excellence Awards

Nobody can't deny the fact that it feels insanely awesome to be recognized, appreciated and most especially awarded. It just shows that the output of a hard work paved the way to change lives and influence individuals. Media practitioners can relate to this; armed with the power of informing and educating people, they ,too, deserve an acknowledgement.

I, myself, am very luck to be invited to the event. Thank you so much to Globe Telecom. I'm not an awardee though. I've been in the Mass Communication program for four years and engaged in the blogging community for quite some time but my experiences are nothing compared to those of the media practitioner's present that night.

I may not have managed a complete, clear and decent photos but here are the facts and awardees:

As it it now emerging to uphold the press freedom and inform the public just like what traditional media does, I agree that bloggers do deserve an acknowledgement.
