2011 a good year for Korina

MANILA, Philippines - ‘I can’t ask for more,’ said Korina Sanchez, proud wife of DOTC Sec. Mar Roxas. ‘Year 2011 has been a good year for both of us.’

Well, especially for her.

To start off, Korina was given a Hall of Fame Award by the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) for her ABS-CBN Sunday show Rated K and for TV Patrol, the newscast that she co-hosts with Noli ‘Kabayan’ de Castro and Ted Failon (shown with Korina, top photo, with Vice Pres. Jojo Binay and Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales during the recent CMMA).

Recently, Korina was given a recognition as Amazing Alumni by her alma mater, Maryknoll (now Miriam) College Foundation (photo at center, with, from left Matec D. Villanueva, chairperson of MMCAA, the Maryknoll alumni association; Miriam College president Rosario O. Lapuz; Sr. Marissa Lichauco; and Madonna G. Tarrayo, president of MMCAA).

During the Miriam event, Korina’s 1986 batch mates (including Lynda Garcia, bottom photo, leftmost; and Olen Jalandoni, fourth from right) gave her a standing ovation. The same batch donated P1M to the deaf scholars of Miriam College (also in photo).
