In conjunction with the concluded week-long Kadayawan Festival, GMA News and Public Affairs presented “Serbisyong Totoo Docu-Fest.” Showcased in the docu-fest were some of the organization’s eye-opening documentaries like “Isyu Karon Southern Mindanao” and “Reporter’s Notebook.”
GMA Channel 5 Davao’s “Isyu Karon Southern Mindanao” which premiered in October 2010, is a weekly magazine program hosted by GMA Senior Correspondent and award-winning indie film director John Paul Seniel, whose credits include the film “Latus,” the recent Best Short Film for at the New York Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIFVF).
“Latus” (meaning beating) is a 2009 Cinemalaya winner that bested 60 entries in the NYIFVF. The story is about two best friends who both experienced corporal punishment in their homes.
“Reporter’s Notebook” on the other hand, delivers in-depth stories of national significance.
Hosted by Maki Pulido and Jiggy Manicad, “Reporter’s Notebook” is one of the most internationally awarded programs on Philippine television today. Two of its awards are Gold World Medal at the 2008 New York Festivals and Best Current Affairs Program at the 2007 Asian Television Awards.
Shown during the docu-fest was “Backdoor,” which won the Silver Screen Award at the 2005 US International Film and Video Festival.
“Reporter’s Notebook” airs every Tuesday night after “Saksi.”
