Bukidnon Online blogger bags award at GMEA 10
The Globe Group named the winners of the Globe Media Excellence Awards (GMEA) @10 last March 31, 2023 at Radisson Blu, Cebu City, honoring exceptional reporting across platforms in Visayas and Mindanao. And the founder and blogger behind Bukidnon Online, the longest-standing blog about Bukidnon, received the award for Digital Storytelling: Best Blog Post (Mindanao).
Maria Irene Sabana Aserios, who is also the blogger behind the multi-award winning Mindanaoan, bested 2 other finalists. All GMEA finalists went through a tough and thorough screening process first before they got shortlisted.
Aserios’ award-winning piece was about Teaching Social Media and Digital Marketing in 8 Towns Around Mindanao (During the Pandemic).
Globe feted winners in 16 categories, including individuals and teams that showcased excellence in telling stories that touched on Globe’s sustainability pillars: Digital Nation, Care for People, and Care for the Environment. These pillars represent the company’s commitment to creating a balance between economic growth, social development, and environmental conservation.
