Actress Dimples Romana is happy to have received a request for her presence to sit as one of the judges for the upcoming International Emmy Awards.
On Instagram, she marked July 15 as a "magical day" as she got an invitation from the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to be a juror for the iEMMYs.
"The International Emmy Award is given to recognize the best television programs initially produced and aired outside the United States. And to be alongside these amazing industry partners is quite humbling. PILIPINAS and Kapamilya Represent," she wrote.

More than 900 television professionals are selected by the Academy’s Judging Department each year to serve as Jurors for the International Emmy Awards.
According to them, jury panels represent current trends in world television programming as well as a wide range of industry professionals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities.
Jurors should have at least five years of professional experience in television, which may include producing, directing, writing, acquisitions, acting, casting, distribution and editing; and must be fluent in the English language.
The 48th International Emmy Awards will take place on Nov. 23 in New York City.
