Before anything else, LionhearTV would like to extend its sincerest apologies for the delay in releasing the official winners of the 9th RAWR Awards.
The results, originally expected in December 2023, were affected by internal organizational challenges, including changes in team assignments that caused unexpected delays.
Despite these hurdles, the spirit and purpose of the RAWR Awards remain stronger than ever.
Established in 2015, the RAWR Awards was born from LionhearTV’s mission to give recognition to voices that were often left unheard in traditional award-giving bodies—especially the growing blogging community and its readers. What started as a small initiative has now become a major platform celebrating entertainment excellence, with strong participation from over 250 new media practitioners, PR groups, fans, and partners across the Philippines.
Held annually through LionhearTV.net, the RAWR Awards symbolize the mighty “roar” of standout figures in the entertainment industry. Awardees are selected based on their impact, relevance, and contribution to the local entertainment landscape.
Voting for the RAWR Awards follows a 3-part system: 33.33% from online votes via LionhearTV, KTX, and social channels; 33.33% based on online search metrics from LionhearTV, Dailypedia, and PH Entertainment; and 33.33% from votes by bloggers, PR teams, and brand partners. This diverse system ensures a well-rounded recognition that reflects fan support, media reach, and industry expertise.
