GMA Integrated News’ Sundo: A GMA Integrated News Documentary represents the Philippines in the News Program: News Documentary/Special category. The special, which was the first news documentary and production under GMA Integrated News 360, chronicled the war between Hamas and Israel as told through the lenses of GMA Integrated News’ veteran journalists Raffy Tima and JP Soriano.
The first is Howie Severino’s story, “Boat to School,” which is the Philippines’ entry in the Documentary: Heroes category. The episode showed the plight of the students in Liaonan Siargao, who had to traverse the sea using a boat just to go to school, and how one resident took it upon herself to gather children in her small home to teach them what she could with the little knowledge she had.“Sisid sa Putik ,” on the other hand, is competing in the Documentary: Community Portraits category.
The bi-monthly public affairs program The Atom Araullo Specials earns back-to-back shortlisted entries. The episodes “Child’s Game ” and “One Deep Breath ” are competing in the Documentary: Social Justice and Documentary: Human Concerns categories, respectively.
