- Bulacan State Univesity holds first media awards
- BulSu launches ‘Batarisan Awards’
Bulacan State University (BulSU) takes a big leap as they map out an award-giving body for film, music, radio, and television–the Batarisan Awards that is set to be launched on March 11, 2018.
The event, which will be attended by various news and entertainment personalities, is expected to introduce the ceremony and its advocacy to the public – to challenge the Philippine media in producing quality content that can uphold the Filipino culture.
Batarisan will also double as a mini-performance concert that will showcase the rich culture of Filipinos through the university’s cultural performers.
Why ‘Batarisan’
Organized single-handedly by the College of Arts and Letters, the term ‘Batarisan’ that meant ‘Bayanihan’ was suggested by select Mass Communication students.
The long process of choosing the awardees started with a filtration in every category in order to set a standard for selection. From there, 10 personalities who were qualified based on the criteria were listed.
Ten names for each category were handed out to the College of Arts and Letters organizations then decided who will complete the Top 5. The faculty of the college, which comprises of media and cultural arts practitioners, sorted the top 3 finalists to be distributed to 30,000 respondents and students of BulSU, who will then decide the recipient of the trophy still relying on the specified criteria.
Batarisan Awards is set to happen in Valencia Hall, Bulacan State University, as the preparations are already being made.
