MANILA — The Philippine Heart Association Inc. (PHA) and Philippine College of Cardiology (PCC) on Thursday recognized ABS-CBN and news reporter Michael Delizo for their role in heart health reporting.

ABS-CBN received the PHA-PCC Media Award in the media entity category, while Delizo was recognized in the individual category during a ceremony in Mandaluyong City.

Delizo produced some feature reports on mobile journalism platform Patrol Ng Pilipino that tackled trans fat and hypertension issues, as well as a guide on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

• Patrol ng Pilipino: Bawal na ang trans fat
• Patrol ng Pilipino: Tamang paraan ng pagbibigay ng CPR

He also published a report on atrial fibrillation on ABS-CBN News’ website.

• Fast heartbeat for no reason? That could be a sign of atrial fibrillation, doctors say

Meanwhile, Kapamilya singer-host Martin Nievera was also awarded in the special category for being a regular advocate of the PHA Council on Heart Failure and National Heart Failure Network, and Usapang Puso sa Puso virtual forum.

The PHA Media Award recipients, the organizer said, “are a particularly passionate group that have illustrated how they have made the PHA’s mission to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease, their own personal advocacy.”
