ABS-CBN Film Restoration led the Kapamilya winners at the 23rd Gawad PASADO, which recognizes outstanding films, programs, and champions of education and the arts.
ABS-CBN Film Restoration head Leo Katigbak accepted the Gawad Dangal ng PASADO sa Pagsisinop ng mga De Kalibreng Pelikulang Pilipino award for the company’s film restoration project, also known as Sagip Pelikula.
“When we started Film Restoration many years ago, ang intensyon po namin ay bigyang buhay muli ang mga pelikula ng kahapon para po ma-appreciate ng mga susunod na henerasyon. At sana po kami ay nagtagumpay sa inyong mga mata dito sa aming adhikain na ito. Maraming, maraming salamat po uli para sa award,” Leo said in a virtual ceremony held last October 9.

Paulo was hailed as PinakaPASADONG Aktor sa Pelikula for “Fan Girl” and PinakaPASADONG Aktor sa Telebisyon for “Walang Hanggang Paalam,” which then won as PinakaPASADONG Programa sa Telebisyon.
