TFC wins first Emmy for 'Adobo Nation'
06/11/2012
MANILA, Philippines -- "Adobo Nation," a weekly lifestyle magazine show of The Filipino Channel, marked its fourth anniversary with an Emmy Award.
The US-produced show nabbed an Emmy for best current/community/public affairs feature segment with its story on the San Francisco-based gang violence prevention organization United Playaz, a group for former ex-convicts who turned their lives around and are now committed to keeping kids out of trouble and off the streets.
The award for the United Playaz feature is TFC's first Emmy.
"Adobo Nation" also earned a nomination in the category for historical/cultural program feature segment, with a piece called "Streets of My Lolo," which celebrates the Filipino community in San Francisco's South of Market area.
"Adobo Nation" competed at the 41st annual Northern California Area Emmy Awards against TV stations and programs from around the Golden State, including Hawaii and Reno, Nevada. -- Report from Nadia Trinidad, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau
