This awarding ceremony stands as a testament to the dedication and excellence of media practitioners in the CALABARZON region. Through their unwavering commitment, these award-winning practitioners have played a pivotal role in advancing public awareness and understanding of science and technology.
The ceremony not only recognized their exceptional efforts but also emphasized the pivotal role media plays in shaping knowledge and fostering innovation within communities.
The Gawad Tambuli Award was initiated in the year 2000 and was conceived by the former Regional Director, Dr. Alexander R. Madrigal, who served as the Supervising Science Research Specialist at the time. This prestigious award derives its name from the Tambuli, a musical instrument crafted from carabao horn, known for producing noble reverberations, particularly when skillfully played. In bygone eras, the Tambuli played a pivotal role in celebratory events, post-war victories, and notably, in disseminating uplifting news.
