“TV Patrol's” coverage of the Aug. 23 hostage crisis involving 17 Hong Kong nationals titled “Bloodbath in Manila,” also earned a nod, having been nominated under the Coverage of Breaking News category.
Nominated in the Docudrama category is another ABS-CBN program, “I Survived,” as hosted by senior broadcast journalist Ces Drilon.
ABS-CBN’s “Altar” spot, meanwhile, is nominated in the Copywriting: Promotion spot category.
The Kapamilya network also dominated the list of nominees in one of the New York Festival’s newest categories Telenovelas, with both “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” and “Magkaribal,” making it to the prestigious list battling head-to-head with “El Clon” of the United States.
