GMA Network won three Medals at the 2025 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards

GMA Network reaffirmed its global excellence in producing world-class content that resonates with international audiences, bringing home 3 World Medals for the Philippines at the 2025 New York Festivals TV & Film (NYF) Awards–including another prestigious Gold medal for “The Atom Araullo Specials (TAAS).”

For the third consecutive year, "The Atom Araullo Specials" earned the World Gold Medal, this time in the Documentary: National Affairs category for its powerful episode “Pogoland.” Aired in 2024, the documentary hosted by Atom Araullo delved into the vast, deep, and intricate world of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO), offering viewers a deep and nuanced look into this controversial industry.

Earning a Silver medal was the multi-awarded and highly-acclaimed film “Firefly,” which won in the Films: Feature Films category. Produced by GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs, "Firefly" previously emerged as the runaway winner at the inaugural Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) in Hollywood, California, taking home the highly coveted Best Picture honor. Shown in 2024, the film also dominated the 49th Metro Manila Film Festival.

The Philippines’ most awarded news magazine program “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS)” has token home the Bronze medal for its episode “Minahan sa Homonhon Island” ("Nickel and Dime: The Cost of Mining in Homonhon Island") in the Documentary: Environment & Ecology category. The episode featured the devastating effects of large-scale mining in Homonhon Island in Guian, Eastern Samar, which sparked discussions online as host Jessica Soho went to Guiuan to personally investigate the issue.

Equally giving the country prestige are “24 Oras” and "Lost Sabungeros," which earned Finalist certificates in their respective categories. Completing the recognitions for GMA Network was Lost Sabungeros, which secured a Finalist certificate in the Documentary: Investigative Journalism category.
