Kapuso shows iBilib and Born to be Wild also received Honorable Mentions under the Child-Friendly Television Programs category.

Meanwhile, a Posthumous Award was given to Robert “Uncle Bob” Stewart, the founder of Republic Broadcasting System (RBS), the precursor of GMA, to honor his legacy as one of the Pioneers and Champions of Children’s Television from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Among those present at the awarding ceremony were GMA Program Management Department Senior AVP Concepcion Agnes, Assistant Preview Manager Legrand Tulod, Public Affairs Segment Producer Shilla Anne Esquibel, Program Researcher Arnold Galvez Jr., Senior Preview Coordinator Nikka Garcia, and NCCT Media Monitoring Coordinator Clarisse Ann Dalangin.

The event highlighted NCCT’s ongoing advocacy for child-friendly media, encouraging collaboration among stakeholders. It also celebrated organizations that continue to champion safe, educational, and enriching programming to help create a more child-centered media landscape.
