“Ipinagkakaloob ang Pinakamagiting na award dahil nagpapakita ang programa o personalidad ng isang mukha ng kagitingan na nagsislbing inspirasyon sa mga batang mag-aaral,” presenters said on the choice of the awardees.
Dr. Gregorio Rodis, BPSU president, said the students made the choice of the winners.
“Pinili ng mga estudyante ang mga programa sa telebisyon na nagbibigay-aral sa kanila na sa palagay nila ay magdudulot ng magandang halimbawa,” he said.
“Nagpapakita ito na sa Bataan ay may kamulatan at pagpapahalaga sa tunay na values ng mass media para sa pagsulong pa ng ating pamayanan,” the university president said.
Sacdalan said leaders of about 100 student organizations and publications made the choice after rigid consultations with their members.
“Students belong to one or two organizations and I believe that the student leaders truly represent the 18,000-strong student population of BPSU in its six campuses in the towns of Dinalupihan, Hermosa and Abucay and the City of Balanga,” the award organizer said.
“This is to honor the role of televisions in the value formation of students,” Sacdalan said.
Balanga City Mayor lauded the BPSU and congratulated the awardees. “Magandang proyekto ito para malaman ng ating mga kababayan ang mga program sa telebisyon na karapatdapat na panoorin,” the mayor said.
Awardings were held at the Plaza Mayor de Balanga.
