Filipino-American podcaster Pablo Torre, who just won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in audio reporting, has roots in Negros Occidental.
The Pulitzer Prizes, on its website, announced that “Pablo Torre Finds Out” won the prize for “a distinguished example of audio journalism that serves the public interest, characterized by revelatory reporting and illuminating storytelling”.
The “Pablo Torre Finds Out” team won P$15,000.
“Pablo Torre Finds Out” was cited for “a pioneering and entertaining form of live podcast journalism that investigated how the Los Angeles Clippers seemingly evaded the NBA’s salary cap rules by funneling money to a star player through an environmental startup”.
The Pulitzer Prize winner is the grandson of Dr. Pablo Torre of the Dr. Pablo O. Torre Sr. Memorial Hospital now Riverside Medical Center in Bacolod City.
Binalbagan Vice Mayor Mary Ann Torre Mirasol said he is the son of her brother, Dr. Pablo O. Torre Jr., who practices medicine in New York.
She said the Torre family is very proud of her nephew’s winning the Pulitzer Prize.
He has a law degree from Harvard University, she said.
The “Pablo Torre Finds Out” has also won an Edward R. Murrow Award for Sports Reporting, and has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 best podcasts of all time.*
