GMA Network Chairman Atty. Felipe L. Gozon was conferred with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Katiwasayan Para sa Mamamayan (KASAMA, Inc.), in cooperation with the Malabon City Government, in recognition of his distinguished and extraordinary achievements in the advancement of socio-economic development service. 

A visionary leader with an unwavering dedication to excellence, Atty. Gozon has guided GMA Network through a period of remarkable growth, solidifying its status as the country’s leading television network and home to the most trusted broadcast news organization in the country. 

In his speech, Gozon described the recognition by KASAMA, Inc. as “Isang malaking karangalan,” before adding heartfelt reflections on his years growing up in Malabon. 

“I am proud that I studied at Malabon Elementary School during my primary grades… I also learned to swim in the Malabon River when it was still clean and spent my formative years here,” he said. 

“Malabon was a small town where most people knew each other. Life was much simpler and peaceful compared to now. Although I now reside outside Malabon, my heart and thoughts remain here.” 

Prior to his career in media, Atty. Gozon had an extensive list of professional achievements and distinctions. His early success included finishing in the Top 10 of the University of the Philippines Law Class of 1962 and placing 13th in the bar examinations that same year. He then pursued his Master of Laws at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. 

In 2005, Atty. Gozon received the "Dangal ng Malabon" award, also conferred by KASAMA, in recognition of his exemplary achievements in legal and business management, particularly in the entertainment industry. 

Proud of his Malabon roots, he has often shared stories from his childhood, including several near-death experiences: falling into a small well in his grandparents' garden during the Japanese Occupation when he was three years old, and getting hit by a jeepney on Arellano Street while chasing a baseball.

The Lifetime Achievement Award bestowed on Atty. Gozon further underscores not only his legacy of service, leadership, and excellence, but also the enduring pride and contributions of the people of Malabon.
