Joaquin M. Henson, dubbed as 'The Dean' of the country's sportwriting fraternity, is this year's awardee for Best Sports Column, adding to the numerous awards that already adorn his trophy case.
The award was bestowed to him by the Catholic Mass Media Awards during ceremonies held recently at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza in Makati City.
Guest of honor at the awards night was Vice-President Noli "Kabayan" De Castro, himself a multi-awarded journalist.
Henson, fondly known to friends and associates as 'Quinito', won for his Sporting Chance column at the Philippine Star.
Quinito's column at the Philippine Star discusses, among many things, major topics in boxing, both local and international. Known for his predilection to facts and objectivity, Henson is considered an icon in the industry.
