About the PSMA
PSMA started in 2015 as laboratory requirements in the subject Media Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship for 3rd year students of Broadcasting and Communication Arts taught by Associate Professor Walter H. Yudelmo. Today, PSMA has become an important media award-giving body recognized by different media industries. Evidence of the previous PSMA can be searched through the Internet.
