The PMPC Star Awards has officially unveiled the winners for the 38th PMPC Star Awards for Television, celebrating the most outstanding television programs and personalities of 2024.

The prestigious event was filled with glitz, glamour, and heartfelt tributes to Philippine television’s brightest stars and the hardworking production teams behind the country’s top programs.

This year’s awards paid homage to industry legend Gloria Romero, who received a posthumous honor as one of the Icons of Philippine Television, recognizing her unparalleled contributions and lasting legacy.

Meanwhile, Janice de Belen, known for her versatility and memorable work as an actress and host, was presented with the Ading Fernando Lifetime Achievement Award. Julius Babao, a veteran journalist admired for his fearless investigative reporting, received the Excellence in Broadcasting Lifetime Achievement Award.

Additionally, the PMPC Hall of Fame welcomed GMA's acclaimed investigative program, "I-Witness," a testament to its groundbreaking impact on Philippine journalism.

Adding more excitement, the German Moreno Power Tandem Award was given to Barbie Forteza and David Licauco (for Pulang Araw) and Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino (for Linlang), celebrating their undeniable on-screen chemistry and massive influence on Philippine pop culture.

The grand awards night took place at the Dolphy Theater on March 23. It was hosted by the star-studded trio of Alden Richards, Kim Chiu, and Piolo Pascual.

Among the performers were Julie Anne San Jose, Christian Bautista, Kai Montinola, and Jarren Garcia (Pinoy Big Brother). Concert King Martin Nievera led a heartwarming tribute to Ms. Romero, while top balladeer Jed Madela and the Eat Bulaga Singing Queens brought the house down with a spectacular closing performance.
