At the recently concluded RAWR Awards, on Thursday evening, December 16, several major honors went to the Kapuso (GMA-7) Network.
Fans, the online media (the blogosphere), and the PR communities named the best in the local entertainment scene via this annual award-giving body.
GMA Network won top accolades from last night’s awarding ceremony of this year’s RAWR Awards, taking home the biggest haul of trophies among the honorees. GMA Network programs and Kapuso personalities scored wins in three out of four category groups (Cub, Lion, Pride).
The fun duo of Don Bocco and Jericho Arceo has delighted audiences through their cute friendship and roles as the reliable sidekicks to Alden Richards’s character in The World Between Us. Both earned the CUB award, Beshie ng Taon, an honor handed out to the best sidekicks and supporting characters in a film or a TV series. Ayra Mariano from Heartful Cafe and Kiray Celis from Owe My Love, were also nominated under the category.
It’s also not surprising that The World Between Us was named Bet Na Bet Na Teleserye for offering a fresh look at us-against-world romances. Alden Richards and Jasmine Curtis-Smith top-bill the series. Other Kapuso shows who vied under this said category were the Sanya Lopez-starrer, First Yaya, and the recently-concluded Dennis Trillo-starred, Legal Wives.
