GMA Integrated News Wins Big at Asian Academy Creative Awards 2025

GMA Integrated News scored back-to-back wins at the Asian Academy Creative Awards 2025 (National Level), bagging Best Short Form (Non-Scripted) for DigiDokyu: The Rice God of the Cordillera and Best Short Form (Scripted) for Eleksyonaryo: The Dapat Totoo Digital Exclusives.

“We have always believed in the talent and creativity of GMA Integrated News’ Digital Strategy and Innovation Lab and Social Media teams, and these 2 National Awards at this year’s Asian Academy Creative Awards affirm it. We take immense pride in our ‘DigiDokyu’ and ‘Eleksyonaryo’ — which highlight our strength in storytelling and digital innovation. These projects exemplify how our teams continue to deliver relevant, world-class content that empowers and engages Filipinos across platforms,” said Oliver Victor B. Amoroso, Senior Vice President for GMA Integrated News and Head, Regional TV and Synergy.

Eleksyonaryo’s recognition “is really for our reporters, social media team, and news production colleagues who proved that meme journalism can cut through news fatigue and still make people care,” shared Aileen Rae Perez, AVP and Deputy Head, Integrated News Social Media.

Meanwhile, Bernice Marie S. Sibucao, Senior Manager and Deputy Head of the Digital Strategy and Innovation Lab, said the DigiDokyu win “honors Filipino heritage and shows how local stories can resonate beyond our borders.”

The Asian Academy Creative Awards is among the region’s most prestigious award-giving bodies, honoring excellence in creative industries across Asia-Pacific. National winners move on to represent their countries in the Grand Awards and Gala Finals in December.
