This coming April 26, celebrities Jennifer Lee, Patricia Javier, Angelique Lazo, and many others, including myself, will be putting on our best smiles (and yes, our fabulous outfits!) as we head to the much-anticipated Asian Mass Media Awards at the Camelot Hotel.
Patricia Javier
This event, led by its hardworking chairperson, Nel Talavera, is not just about handing out trophies; it’s about honoring people who have used media as a platform to inspire, inform, and uplift. In a world flooded with content, it’s refreshing to celebrate those who still choose purpose over popularity, and substance over noise.
Personally, I always believe that media is more than just exposure—it’s a responsibility. Every story we tell, every performance we give, has the power to touch lives. And that’s exactly what this awards night is all about: recognizing those who continue to use their voice for something bigger than themselves. Here are the awardees for Excellence in Mass Media and Performing Arts:
