FOUR entries from SunStar Davao journalists have been named finalists for the 11th Globe Media Excellence Awards (GMEA@11), as announced on Friday, December 13, 2024. Marianne L. Saberon-Abalavan’s “ From Frankenspikes to Golden Dreams ” and Ralph Lawrence Llemit’s “ TFD Soldier’s Viral Act of Kindness ” are vying for Online News Report of the Year.

This year, GMEA broadened its reach to include provincial media from Luzon alongside entries from Visayas and Mindanao, showcasing a diverse range of stories nationwide. "Storytelling is a powerful tool that connects people, fosters understanding, and inspires action within communities. Through these awards, we honor individuals who demonstrate courage and innovation in shaping a more inclusive and progressive society,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe's chief sustainability and corporate communications officer. The winners of GMEA@11 will be announced in January 2025, recognizing outstanding achievements in three categories: Special Awards, Digital Storytelling, and Integrated Media. Finalists were selected based on their creative use of digital media, societal impact, and alignment with the theme #IgnitingProgress.

Ace June Rell Perez was awarded Social Media Advocacy of the Year for Digital (Mindanao). Mark Anthony Perandos received Photo of the Year for Digital (Mindanao), and Marianne Saberon-Abalayan earned the #KWENTONGTAGUMPAY: Uplifting Lives Through Digital Technology (Community) award for Mindanao.

The awards aim to inspire journalists and social media advocates to create impactful stories that promote social justice and the common good. DEFHowever, the revelation that the trademarks associated with the YU7 have been preemptively registered by cybersquatters has cast a shadow over the much-anticipated launch. Cybersquatting, the practice of registering domain names or trademarks in bad faith with the intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else, is a common issue in the digital age.
It has now been nearly two months since the Chicago Sky decided to part ways with head coach Teresa Weatherspoon after just one season at the helm. In fact, Chicago's new coach, Tyler Marsh, has already started the process of picking up where Weatherspoon left off ahead of the 2025 season. Weatherspoon got the chance to talk about this career-defining development on Wednesday during the Unrivaled League's media availability. The WNBA Hall of Famer, who will be coaching one of the six teams in the inaugural season of the 3-on-3 tournament, admitted that she was surprised by the Sky's decision to fire her. “It wasn’t a decision I saw coming,” she said, via the Chicago Sun-Times . Be that as it may, Weatherspoon implied that she has no regrets about her stint with the Sky. “You gotta know this and stand on it," she said. "You’re not for everybody. I’m OK with that. I know the things I did. I know the things I helped change. I know the things I had to go through and what I stood through. I will do that again, over and over and over.” © Wendell Cruz–USA TODAY Sports For now, the 58-year-old is focused on her next gig, which is coaching for Unrivaled. The inaugural season of the Breanna Stweart and Napheese Collier-led league will start in January and will span for three months. After that, Weatherspoon will be free to take on other job opportunities should they come -- something that she isn't closing any doors on. “That is to be seen,” Weatherspoon said of potentially returning to the WNBA. “One thing about me is I don’t run from anything. I don’t hide from anything. I don’t have to answer anything. Because I know what I bring. I know how hard I worked. I know that the opportunity for me will come and I’ll be ready.” As of writing, the Dallas Wings, the Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun are the three teams in the league that still have an opening for the head coaching position.
