ATT_1424157104580_downloadfileamy1US Ambassador Philip S. Goldberg said that Cabusao was selected for her “fine work in strengthening a free and responsible media in Mindanao through journalism training programs for budding journalists.”

These training programs come in the form of regional conferences where journalists from around Mindanao gather to, in her words, further understand and discuss what they do.

An award ceremony in her honor, with members of the Aquino family attending, was held last Feb. 12 at the Manila US embassy’s Charles Parsons Ballroom. Goldberg and a member of the Aquino(Ballsy Cruz) family co-presented the journalism award.
