Gandingan 2021: List of Winners

Pinarangalan sa Gandingan 2021: The 15th UPLB Isko’t Iska’s Multi-media Awards ang apatnapung mga personalidad, programa, istasyon ng radyo at telebisyon, at online platforms.

Sa temang, Midya: Kaagapay ng Bayan sa Pagharap sa Krisis ng Pampublikong Kalusugan, kinilala ng UP Community Broadcasters’ Society (UP ComBroadSoc) ang gampanin at naging ambag ng midya sa pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon ukol sa COVID-19 at iba pang isyung pangkalusugan.

“Ang tema ng Gandingan ay silbing paalala sa mga kuwentong kailangan nating palakasin upang masolusyonan ang mga ito,” pahayag ni Prop. Mark Lester M. Chico, tagapagtatag ng Gandingan Awards na ipinalabas sa Facebook ngayong araw, ika-22 ng Mayo. “Paraan din namin sa Gandingan ang pagbibigay ng temang kailangan nating mas pag-usapan, bigyang-pansin, at aksyunan,” dagdag pa niya.

Sa kanyang mensahe, sinabi ni Chancellor Jose V. Camacho Jr. ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Los Baños (UPLB) na mahalaga ang gampanin ng midya lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. “Sa mga panahong nagdaan habang binubuno natin ang mga pagsubok na dala ng COVID-19, higit na naging sandalan ng mga institusyon at mga mamamayan ang tama at patas na impormasyon tungo sa kanilang pagpapasya,” ani niya.

Binigyang-diin naman ng dekana ng Kolehiyo ng Komunikasyong Pangkaunlaran na si Dr. Ma. Stella C. Tirol ang pangangailangan ng bayan sa tama at nauunawaang impormasyon. “We need media that can give us accurate information based on scienti?c evidence, and popularized so it is easy to understand and apply.”

Ang Gandingan 2021 ang ikalawang beses na isinagawa ang pagpaparangal online dahil sa mga restriksyon sa umiiral na community quarantine. Matatandaan na nagtala ng kasaysayan ang Gandingan Awards nang mauna ito sa mga media awards sa bansa na magsagawa ng fully virtual ng programa noong Hulyo ng nakaraang taon.

Umabot sa 168 entries ang natanggap ng UP ComBroadSoc mula sa 80 na programa sa buong bansa. Nilahukan ito ng malalaking media networks gayundin ng mga istasyon mula sa mga unibersidad at probinsiya. Tatlumput limang mga hurado na binubuo ng mga guro, estudyante, at eksperto mula sa UPLB ang sumuri sa mga entries.

Samantala, malaking bahagi naman ng programa ang partner community ng Gandingan na Silungan ng Pag-asa sa Maynila na siyang nagsisilbing bahay-tuluyan ng mga batang Pilipino na may kanser mula sa iba’t-ibang parte ng bansa.

Sa susunod na taon, iikot naman sa isyu ng karapatan ang tema ng Gandingan. “Sama-sama nating ipaglaban ang karapatan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino, ito ang panibagong hamon ng Gandingan,” ani Neisel Lyca Petiza, Chief Anchor ng UP ComBroadSoc.

“Asahan ninyong hangga’t may mga isyung dapat malaman ng mamamayan at dapat solusyunan ng pamahalaan, tutunog at mag-iingay ang Gandingan hanggang sa marinig ang kolektibo nating boses na tumatawag sa matinong panunungkulan,” sabi ni Propesor Chico.
