GMA Public Affairs’ multi-awarded bi-monthly documentary program The Atom Araullo Specials earns another big win for the Network with “The Atom Araullo Specials: Hingang Malalim” bringing home the Silver Dolphin Trophy at the Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards in France. 

First aired in 2023, “The Atom Araullo Specials: Hingang Malalim” delved into the lives of the hardworking pearl divers in Sulu. The winning documentary narrated the story of Tatay Bulloh, a pearl diver who relentlessly goes deep into the seas and risks his life just to find a pearl that will help his family survive.

Receiving the award on behalf of the program and GMA Network was award-winning host Atom Araullo. 

Earlier this year, the same documentary won a Silver Medal at the 2024 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards under the Documentary: Human Concerns category. 

In 2022, The Atom Araullo Specials reaped its first win at the Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards after The Atom Araullo Specials: Munting Bisig took home a Silver Medal for Documentaries and Reports (TV, Online and Cinema) in the Human Concerns and Social Issues category.
