The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu, through the Cebu Archdiocesan Commission on Social Communications (CACoSCo), held the 20th Cebu Archdiocesan Mass Media Awards (CAMMA) at the Cube Atrium, SM Seaside City Cebu.
Present at the event were Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Ruben Labajo, Rev. Msgr. Agustin “Ting” Ancajas (Chairman, CACoSCo), different local media personalities, Cebu parishes’ social communications volunteers, and some members of the academe who served as jurors.
The 20th CAMMA has four major categories: TV, Radio, Print, and the newly added Parish category.
The last CAMMA was held in 2019 and ceased for two years due to the pandemic.
In his opening remarks, Msgr. Agustin “Ting” Ancajas expressed that this event symbolizes the continued fight against the threats of disinformation and revisionism.
Before the program concluded, Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Ruben Labajo also gave a message and officially opened the 21st CAMMA.
“Your field is not only a profession but a mission. To spread the truth is a mission and we can only spread the truth if God is with us.”, the good Bishop reminded in his message.
