Gandingan Awards UNTV radio

First of all, Thanks be to God for giving me opportunity to write on my blog again J.

What should I am going to write? Well, definitely no one knows what I am going to write. Okay, I’ll start writing about the Gandingan award that UNTV radio had won last time. But what is Gandinganfirst,Gandingan is a Philippine set of four large, hanging gongs used by the Maguindanao as part of their kulintang ensemble.

Gandingan is the first broadcast based award giving body in the entire UP system that recognizes outstanding broadcasters and programs. They also challenge stations to produce quality content of their programs. The Gandingan also gave recognition to excellence in the four guiding principle of development communication namely empowerment, entrepreneurship, environmentalism, and equity. And maybe you are thinking, what is the relevance of this. Well we can connect this in development communication. First let’s define what dev.com means it is the strategic use of communication in the developing world. And I can relate development communication to Gandingan award that was given to UNTV radio. The UNTV radio awarded as the most development Radio plug and they deserves to be. Why do I say so? Because almost all of the radio programs that is being aired on UNTV radio can help the listeners to do good to others. Just like the station blood letting plug which was awarded as the BEST DEVELOPMENT ORIENTED RADIO PLUG that encourages people to donate blood. They informed about what will be the good effects of donating blood in our health. Another example of the program is the Student hour that allows the youth to participate during the discussion about certain issues like educational issues, national issues, and personality development.

With this it can help the listeners to decide and take part of the decision whether they going to participate in the said event or not. With God’s help and mercy many of the listeners participate in this kind of advertisement.

I am looking forward for the next Gandingan J. To God be the Glory!
