Meanwhile, Maria Clara at Ibarra actress Julie Anne San Jose and theater actress/singer Gab Pangilinan are both nominated for Best Leading Female Performance for the Digital programs for the same series.

Eat Bulaga Dabarkads Maine Mendoza also received a nomination as Best Entertainment Presenter/Host for her Philippine travel and lifestyle show #Mainegoals. The show featured different tourist spots in the country as well as the culture of the locals.

The Asian Television Awards is a yearly event that happens in December to recognize Asians' excellence in programming, production, and performance.

Entries come from a wide range of content producers, from free-to-air TV stations, to pay TV platforms, and even digital or streaming services, as well as the many independent production companies in Asia.

The ATA is set to hold its first-ever live event on December 1 (Manila) and 8 (Singapore) after two years of holding virtual ones due to the pandemic.
