Daniel Long, Peanut Gallery Media Network’s youngest anchor, has earned Dean’s List First Honor at Thames International after posting a 3.8000 GPA for the Spring Term of Academic Year 2025–2026.
Daniel received the distinction while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship. His Certificate of Recognition, dated September 1, 2026, states that he met the academic standards required for inclusion in the Dean’s List First Honor. It was signed by Thames Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Dennis A. Sandoval.
At 23, Daniel is the youngest anchor on PGMN’s star-studded roster. The academic recognition adds another credential to a record that already spans journalism, broadcasting, youth leadership and public affairs.
Daniel serves as National Director for Publications and Journalism of ISDA Youth Philippines and as a Youth Committee member of the Association for Philippines–China Understanding. He is also a guest host of “PH-China Talks” on DWAD 1098.
His writing has appeared in Asian Century Journal, Mindanao Times and SunStar Davao. Published author profiles have also identified him as a contributor to The Manila Times. Before his current media work, Daniel served as a speechwriter for Sen. Imee R. Marcos, a credential independently carried by both SunStar Davao and Mindanao Times.
Daniel has also moderated forums of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute since at least 2023. His public profiles and published biographies document his participation in press and APCU delegations to China, adding international exposure to his work in media and youth organizations.
Thames International officially offers the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship as a three-year undergraduate program and runs its undergraduate courses under a trimestral academic calendar. The school documented its Spring Term 2026 activities from April through June, matching the academic period cited on Daniel’s recognition.
Daniel’s 3.8000 GPA places Dean’s List First Honor alongside a growing list of professional and organizational credentials as he continues his undergraduate studies at Thames International and his work with PGMN.
