MANILA, Philippines – Rappler sports editor Ryan Songalia was recognized at the 16th Gabriel “Flash” Elorde Boxing Awards night on Tuesday, March 28.
Songalia was awarded “for his support to Philippine professional boxing through his continuous writings of boxing stories that give the Filipino boxers the opportunity to be known worldwide.”
The award-giving body also said the exposure that Filipino boxers get through Songalia’s columns are “truly commendable.”
Presentor Ted Lerner introduced Songalia as “perhaps the hardest working boxing reporter in the Philippines,” for covering boxers from all walks of life – amateurs, up and coming ones, and the pros.
Songalia also writes for The Ring, a magazine dedicated to boxers worldwide. Prior to joining Rappler, Songalia had written for the New York Daily News, USA Today, and The Guardian. He is also a member of the Boxing Writers Association of America.
