Veteran journalist and Rappler’s head of regions, Inday Espina-Varona, has been selected as this year’s winner of the prestigious Gawad Pambansang Alagad ni Balagtas for the Essay in English.
MANILA, Philippines –
The 2022 Gawad Paz Marquez Benitez was awarded to Jazmin B. Llana, while the Gawad Pedro Bucaneg to Sining Banwa, a community-based multi-arts organization based in the province of Albay. Varona’s forays into short- and long-form essays cut across the length and breadth of a sprawling journalism landscape, primarily, but not limited to, investigative reports as well as in-depth analysis pieces.
Her approach to sensitive issues in her writings had won numerous accolades both here and abroad prior to the Gawad Balagtas, namely the Prize for Independence by Reporters Sans Frontières – the first Filipino journalist to have been given the recognition. The other is the esteemed Jaime V. Ongpin Awards for Investigative Journalism in the Non-Daily Category, among others.
