Anak TV will honor this December 8 the choices made by thousands of Filipino jurors after a year-long assessment of television programs. The association of TV networks will also recognize personalities selected as worthy of emulation by children by inducting them into the Roster of Makabata Stars.

The iconic seal on Philippine television, Anak TV, is bestowed by parents, teachers, nongovernment organizations, and other sectors of society on television programs, which, in their estimate, are wholesome and child-safe. It is a seal not found anywhere else in the world, Anak TV being a movement that flourishes only in the Philippines.

 A total of 155 programs were declared family-friendly after six months of tedious and thorough evaluation covering several screening sessions nationwide. ABS-CBN leads the winners by taking home 37 seals.  INCTV takes home 31; Net 25 receives 30; GMA Network and GMA News receive a total of 27; People’s Television Network (PTV) takes home 12 seals;  UNTV takes home 11, Light Network receives 6, while TV 5 gets 1.

To be elevated into the Makabata Hall of Fame are Arnold Clavio, Charo Santos-Concio, Sharon Cuneta, Anne Curtis, Vicky Morales, Piolo Pascual and Vic Sotto for having been voted as Makabata Star for seven years. They join the Hall of Fame that now includes Kim Atienza, Julius Babao, Kim Chiu, Karen Davila, Mike Enriquez, Ted Failon, Sarah Geronimo, Toni Gonzaga, Angel Locsin, Coco Martin, Korina Sanchez, Judy Ann Santos, Bernadette Sembrano, Jessica Soho, Mel Tiangco and Gary Valenciano.

The annual Boto Ko ‘To survey winners will be feted by broadcast colleagues, media and NGOs cheering the awardees. Selected this year by the national jury as the most “credible, wholesome and worth emulating by the youth” are, in the male category, Atom Araullo, Drew Arellano, Dingdong Dantes, Noli de Castro, Robi Domingo, Joshua Garcia, Daniel Padilla, Alden Richards, Anthony Taberna and Ian Veneracion. In the female category are Bea Alonzo, Julia Barretto, Kathryn Bernardo, Kara David, Maine Mendoza, Julia Montes, Marian Rivera, Lea Salonga, Sylvia Sanchez , Liza Soberano, Susan Roces, Gloria Romero, Yassi Pressman and Pia Wurtzbach.
