GMA Integrated News won gold at the prestigious 60th Anvil Awards for Public Relations Programs under the 'Best Use of Partnerships' category for its massive undertaking on the “Panata Kontra-Fake News” campaign.
GMA Integrated News, Regional TV and Synergy Senior Vice President and Head Oliver Victor B. Amoroso received the award at the Manila Hotel. Amoroso was joined by Senior Manager Christina V. Pascual.
The country's largest campaign against fake news and disinformation was launched on August 30, 2024 with GMA Network gathering almost 60 media organizations, universities, and the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to pledge to fight fake news and disinformation as the core goal of Panata Kontra-Fake News.
Amoroso said GMAIN puts a premium on reporting the facts in its stories and be at the forefront in the discussion on the fight against misinformation and disinformation, especially with the coming midterm elections in the Philippines in May 2025.
