2010 Gawad Natatanging Lagunense (Outstanding Lagunense Awards)

I was officially star-struck being in the same table as Jiggy Manicad, having a photo with Sol Aragones (both awardees for broadcast journalism), and being on stage with Gov. Ningning Lazaro and other officials at the provincial level. To top that all off, I had the pleasure of being among the five finalists for the Gawad Natatanging Kabataan (Outstanding Youth Award)... and ultimately getting the prize.

High heels and long gown didn't stop me from taking photos, but I couldn't move too much with my talent of tripping over stairs, so Ate Madie shared the picture-taking assignment with me. =)

Thank you to Ate Madie and to Ginny for getting me involved in this competition; and to Bob and Melissa for the glowing commendations; and to my stage aunts (the stage mother called up right after the ceremonies) for being there with me.

  10. @hanna: salamat!!

    5th year na nagbibigay ang provincial government ng awards, ayon sa interview panel. pero lahat kaming finalists nalaman lang ang competition nung binigay sa amin yung form na sinagutan namin. dahil dumadami na ang mga awardees at finalists, tingin ko mas magiging publicised itong competition sa mga susunod na taon. =)

    hindi ko lang alam kung naiulat na ni jiggy manicad ito kagabi... or kung gagawing feature. may kasama siyang camera crew kasi.

  15. @sylvia: yes, i agree! thank you! =)

    ang kagandahan pati ng gawad na ito, iba iba ang categories. kaya may natatanging bumbero, natatanging pulis, natatanging guro, natataning alagad ng sining, etc. at yung bihira makilala na natatangi, binigyan ng award. tulad nung mga malaki ang itinulong nung sumalanta ang mga bagyo noong 2009.
