  • Winner, Best Current Affairs Program "Giyera Sa Lebanon" (Reporter: Jiggy Manicad, Producer/Writer: Johnson Jonathan Tam) - 12th Asian Television Awards 2007 in Singapore
  • Gold World Medal, Best Human Interest Story for the entry "Batang Kalakal" (Reporter: Maki Pulido, Producer/Writer: Joseph Laban) and “Engkuwentro" won the Bronze World Medal for Coverage of an On-going Story (Reporter: Jun Veneracion, Producer: Pima Arizalla) - 2008 New York Festivals for Television

The documentary “Batang Kalakal" tells the unforgettable and heart-breaking story of 11-year old Liza Asnan. Despite an empty stomach, she wades through the murky, garbage strewn river everyday to scavenge for plastic and tin cans to sell at the junk shop. She is determined to continue going to school, though her classmates laugh at her because her shoes are filled with holes and her mother says they can no longer afford to send her next year. The documentary was also aired on Sine Totoo, another GMA Network documentary program, but with interviews of Maki Pulido and gold-medal winning producer Joseph Laban.

"Engkuwentro" on the other hand is about the fateful day of July 10, 2007, when Jun Veneracion and his crew were caught in the midst of a seven-hour firefight between MILF rebels and the military in Basilan. Fourteen soldiers were killed - ten of them beheaded. The documentary captures the heart-breaking moments when, at the peak of the battle, the Marines desperately struggled with mortar shells that failed to fire.

  • Nominated, Best Public Affairs Program - 21st PMPC Star Awards for Television 2007
