In recognition of his enduring impact and exceptional contributions to Philippine media, Mr. Eric S. Canoy, Chairman and President of Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. (RMN), has been conferred the prestigious 2025 Golden Dove Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring over four decades of visionary leadership, innovation, and public service in the broadcast industry.
Mr. Canoy has served as the steward of RMN Networks since 2008, following a tenure in various key roles within the organization that began in 1978. Under his leadership, RMN has not only expanded its nationwide reach but also modernized its platforms, including the landmark renewal of its Congressional Franchise (RA 10818) in 2016. He oversaw RMN’s pioneering efforts in High Definition (HD) Radio and the launch of UHF television channel CTV31, which marked the country’s first foray into international entertainment broadcasting with E! Philippines.
A staunch advocate for regional and hyperlocal storytelling, Mr. Canoy also leads RMN-MMV, the network's exclusive marketing arm, and is the driving force behind Media Bai, the first-ever media summit focused on hyperlocal marketing strategies and content creation for the Visayas and Mindanao (VisMin) audience.
Beyond RMN, Mr. Canoy has played influential roles in other broadcast entities such as Interactive Broadcast Media, Inc., and serves on the board of Radio Veritas Global Broadcasting System, Inc. In 2010, he was appointed by then-President Benigno Aquino III as President of IBC-13, where he led efforts to streamline operations in preparation for its privatization.
This Lifetime Achievement Award is a fitting tribute to Mr. Canoy’s relentless dedication to innovation, public service, and the promotion of regional voices in media. His legacy continues to inspire a new generation of broadcasters, communicators, and storytellers across the nation.
Apart from this recognition, the RMN Network also garnered other winners in the 28th Golden Dove Awards, such as Best Documentary Program: “Hanip, Harabas, El Niño Phenomenon: Mga Hamon ng Pagbangon”, Best Field Reporter: Chzianelle B. Salazar of DZXL 558 Manila, and most notably, the coveted Best FM Radio Station in Metro Manila, which was awarded to 93.9 iFM Manila.
The Kapisanan ng Mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Golden Dove Awards recognize individuals who have contributed to the advancement of the broadcast industry, elevating the standards of excellence and professionalism, and fulfilling the ideals of the Filipino people.
