GMA Network was conferred with NCCT’s Child-Friendly Content Standards (CFCS) Compliant Broadcast Television Award 2024 National Council for Children's Television (NCCT) Awards.

Leading broadcast media company GMA Network won five awards at the 2024 National Council for Children's Television Awards (NCCT) on Oct. 18, 2024. The awarding ceremony was part of a series of activities celebrating NCCT's 27th Anniversary. 

For its commitment to producing world-class and meaningful entertainment programs with values and purpose, GMA Network was conferred with NCCT's Child-Friendly Content Standards (CFCS) Compliant Broadcast Television Award. The said recognition is granted to television networks that fulfill the requirement of allocating a minimum of 15 percent of their daily total airtime to children's programs and/or child-friendly programs to be shown during child-viewing hours.

Meanwhile, GMA's advocacy campaign, "Dapat Ganito, Kapuso," received a Special Citation Award. The campaign champions the Network's mission to celebrate and uphold Filipino beliefs, traditions, and values. "Dapat Ganito, Kapuso" featured seven captivating short stories, with each highlighting a core Filipino value: Maka-Diyos, Makabayan, Mapagmahal sa Pamilya, Mapagmalasakit sa Kapwa, Maabilidad, Malikhain,  and Masayahin. The campaign featured Sparkle GMA Artist Center talents, and is in partnership with Unilab, UL Skin Sciences, Inc., Nestlé Philippines, Unilever, Glucerna, and Bioderm. The short stories are available online on GMA Network's YouTube Channel. 

Two of GMA Network's infotainment programs, "iBilib" and "AHA!," won the Child-Friendly Television Program awards. Produced by GMA Entertainment Group and hosted by Chris Tiu and Shaira Diaz, "iBilib" features bizarre and interesting trivia on science and further entertains audiences with fun and enjoyable scientific experiments.  "AHA!," under GMA Public Affairs, is hosted by Drew Arellano and features pop culture topics while sharing relevant and relatable information.

Receiving a Certificate of Recognition as Grantee of National Endowment Fund for Children's Television (NEFCTV) is "OK AKO,"  a three-episode miniseries produced by GMA Entertainment Group. The program aired last September and featured light and heartwarming stories focusing on mental health, which highlighted the youth's feelings of loss, anger, anxiety, bulimia, and depression. The episodes are also available online on GMA Network's YouTube Channel. 

The National Council for Children's Television (NCCT) champions high-quality Children's Television (CTV) and Child-Friendly Television (CFTV) programs and child-friendly media. It supports networks that play an invaluable role in shaping entertaining and enriching content for young viewers.
