THE Philippines’s platform for a broader look on business was honored for the fourth straight year as Business News Source of the Year at the 30th Economic Journalism Association of the Philippines (Ejap) Awards.
BusinessMirror reporters Cai U. Ordinario and Lenie Lectura were honored as Best Macroeconomy Reporter of the Year and Best Energy Reporter of the Year, respectively. Ordinario’s story “Pandemic highlights PHL property problems for poor Pinoys” was awarded the Best Feature Story of the Year.
BusinessMirror shares the Business News Source of the Year with the Philippine Daily Inquirer whose three reporters—Miguel Camus, Karl Ocampo, and Ben de Vera were awarded the Best Telecommunications and Transportation Beat Reporter, Best Agri-Mining Reporter, and Best Finance Reporter, respectively.
The other individual awards were won by: BusinessWorld’s Luz Wendy Noble for Banking, Philippine Star’s Louella Desiderio for Trade, and Philippine Star’s Iris Gonzales for Capital Markets. The awards are given for the reporters’ body of works for year 2020.
The 4-peat in the EJAP Awards comes a month after the BusinessMirror, founded on the promise of providing “A Broader Look at Today’s Business,” celebrated its 16th anniversary in October. It was founded in 2005 by the late ambassador and business leader Antonio L. Cabangon Chua, whose children have continued his involvement in mass media—the publisher is T. Anthony C. Cabangon; the chairman of the board and of the ALC media group is D. Edgard A. Cabangon.
The 30th EJAP Business Journalism Awards board of judges was chaired by former Finance undersecretary Milwida Guevara. It opened with remarks by National Treasurer Rosalia V. De Leon who expressed optimism of economic growth and addressing the debt-to-GDP ratio.
