GMA-7 I-Witness “Ambulansyang de Paa” wins Peabody award

GMA network will be recognized once again with a Peabody award for the I-Witness documentary "Ambulansiyang de Paa" which was hosted by Kara David and directed by Nowell Cuanang.

“Ambulansyang de Paa,” a documentary about the sacrifice and efforts of the Mangyan community of Apnagan in Mindoro to transport the seriously ill through rugged trails.
The Peabody Awards on the I-Witness documentary: "Condemning deplorable conditions while celebrating neighborly valor and ingenuity, the report shows how people in a poor village carry their sick and injured over dangerous terrain to distant medical care using 'ambulances on foot.'"
In 1999, the “I Witness” episodes “Kidneys for Sale” by Jessica Soho and Jay Taruc’s “Child Labor” story on “Brigada Siyete” clinched the country’s first and second Peabody trophies, respectively.

The 69th Annual Awards ceremony will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on on May 17, 2010.
