Newsbreak on June 26 bagged the top prizes in two of three categories in the annual Jaime V. Ongpin Awards for Excellence in Journalism (JVOAEJ), the most prestigious award for print journalism in the Philippines.
Glenda M. Gloria and Roel Landingin were each given the Plaque of Distinction—the highest award in the JVOAEJ this year—for articles published in Newsbreak special editions in 2007.
