The story by\u00a0<strong>Maki Pulido<\/strong>\u00a0showed how these children were not registered with the Malaysian authorities nor had registration documents that officially declare them as Filipino citizens, thus making them stateless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>GMA Pinoy TV<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>GMA Network\u2019s flagship international channel, also earned honors for the Network as well through its two original shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<strong><em>Becoming Pinoy<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d a short-form documentary that features Filipinos who were born of mixed ancestry and raised in different cultures, was named as the winner of the\u00a0<strong>Best TV Interstitial on Migration<\/strong>\u00a0under the Television Journalism Award category. \u201c<strong><em>Becoming Pinoy<\/em><\/strong>\u201d was recognized for featuring Filipinos born and raised abroad, showing how they survived discrimination, found and appreciated their Filipino roots\/heritage, and thrived in their chosen career.
