The Gandingan Awards, an annual event organized by the UP Community Broadcasters’ Society, promotes “the production and airing of developmental TV, radio, and online programs for the benefit of every Filipino.” “The establishment of Radio Sagada was driven by the community’s desire to have a reliable source of news and information. It is a product of the unity of indigenous communities and various institutions to share local issues and events from our experiences and perspectives,” the radio station’s manager, Gwen Gaongen, said on Sunday, May 5.
The organizers named the award after the late pioneer of low-powered community radio in the Philippines and Asia, Lucio “Ka Louie” N. Tabing, who also advocated for the access and involvement of rural and indigenous communities in media and broadcasting. Accepting the award on behalf of the radio station, Gaongen dedicated it to the indigenous peoples and others who continue to support community radio, and those who continue to stand for free press.
