lolz inyong-inyo na yang mga awards at ratings ninyo dahil maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw kung sino ang higit na pinapanood ng higit sa nakakaraming Pinoy. buti pa ABS-CBN kahit nangagamote sa manipulated ratings ng agb-gme7, hayun pumapatok sa takilya ang mga pelikula ng Star Cinema at bumebenta ang mga albums at CDs ng mga Kapamilya Talent…hindi na kailangan ng gapang awards, hindi na kailangan ng manipulations, hindi na kailangan ng hype! wag mapipikon mga kanguso! hahaha
December 17th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Hmm, wait… iba ‘ata ang WINNER sa HIGHLY COMMENDED. In short, CONSOLATION lang daw. Mga KAPAMILYA, hayaan ninyo na… MARAMI pa din tayo na-earn na awards this year compared sa kanila. Baka sabihin eh BITTER tayo, eh sila yun. U know who really rules.
December 17th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Hahaha… Funny! May natutuwa pala sa “Konsolasyon”; pampalubag loob. Hep, Hep, opinion lang ito walang mapipikon.
December 17th, 2008 at 10:21 pm

December 18th, 2008 at 12:46 am
emmy kasi un eh yan halos mabulag na sa pagkasingkit ang mga nanonood dyan, singapore, japan, china, mga kanguso
December 18th, 2008 at 12:51 am
tama n nga yan ndi nman kasi marunong mgajudge ang mga nagjudge dyan. ano ba kau? e para rin yang tv ratings d2 sa P’nas, example ko lang ha, ung beijing olympics kuu ndi nman ganun kaganda at kabongga ang fireworks display, in-edit lang sa computer (computer graphics?) , pa-effect, that’s accdg to the worldwide news if you haven’t heard it yet then you should be thankful pa na alam niyo na ngaun. ndi rin malinis ang pagpapatakbo dyan sa mga ganyan. takot lang nila n mabuko ang mga anomalies nila kapag abs cbn n ang naging active dyan kasi walang kinikilingan at ang mga reporters ng abs cbn sa abs cbn lang ndi nag-iimport ng reporter ng ibang istasyon…ndi kagaya ng gma n pati ang reporter ng abs cbn e bagrereport ng news sa channel nila! marunong ba talaga cla ng work ethics?
December 18th, 2008 at 12:53 am
may credibility bang matatawag ang gma7 sa scenariong un? abs cbn reporter reporting live in gma7? easy lang mga kanguso, bka lalong lumaki at umulwa ang nguso

Submissions
Only duly completed entry form using the Official Entry Form is accepted. Failure to comply may result in disqualification. In addition, each entry must include the following:
An English soundtrack or English subtitles or an accompanying script in English if submitted program is in other languages.
All required supporting documentation as indicated in the entry form.
Payment for the entries. Entries will not be included for judging if payment is not received together with the entry form.
- http://www.onscreenasia.com
—> kailangan magbayad sa organizer everytime you send an entry… meaning the entries are sent by the companies themselves and the choice of nominees are not the sole discretion of the organizers, meaning hindi talaga quality programs ang mga nananalo, mga kapal mukha lng na companies na nagssend ng entries na gahaman sa awards kahit hindi deserving. and take note… hindi na nagpapadala ng entries and abs-cbn sa asian television awards because of that system. therefore the awards itself is bogus.
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
pero nanalo yata noon nang ilang beses ang ABS-CBN as terrestrial network a, ilang consecutive years din yata yun, o baka ibang award giving body yun
anyway wala yatang actual na winner na galing ng Pilipinas
hindi naman ako nagulat sa quality ba naman ng mga Philippine nominees ngayon

Sa mga taga GMA 7 meron akong tanong. Alam niyo ba ang ibig sabihin ng GMA? Well kaming mga taga ABS CBN alam na alam namin ang ibig sabihin ng mother station namin. It’s Alto Broadcasting System, Chronicles Broadcasting Network. Eh ang GMA alam niyo ba. Bago kayo umarte ng hindi maganda, alamin niyo muna ang tunay na kahulugan ng tahanan niyo noh. Mga GMA 7 na hindi alam ang ibig sabihin… Hahahahaha…
October 25th, 2009 at 2:52 am
ONLY GMA PA LANG PO ANG Philippine TV station na nanalo sa Asian TV award. Best Actor for Michael V. Terrestrial TV station for GMA7. and best comedy show for Bubble Gang
