Umali Hall at the University of the Philippines Los Baños campus.<div> <a href="https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2026/2/20/abs-cbn-is-digital-media-network-of-the-year-at-2026-platinum-stallion-national-media-awards?lang=en">ABS-CBN is Digital Media Network of the Year at 2026 Platinum Stallion National Media Awards</a></div>“And to my parents who are here tonight — they help me bring out the best in me.” Meanwhile, ABS-CBN News Digital’s NXT bagged the Most Development-Oriented Online Video award for its content titled “Reshaping the Future of Farming Through Renewable Energy.” ABS-CBN News’ current affairs programs “Tao Po” and “My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!” were also recognized as the Most Development-Oriented Magazine Program and the Most Development-Oriented Livelihood Program, respectively. Organized by the UP Community Broadcasters’ Society, the Gandingan Awards honors media practitioners, organizations, networks, schools, programs, and materials that champion development-oriented content. This year’s theme, “Pakinggan, Tinig ng Kalikasan,” recognized national, local, and community-based media organizations, programs, and practitioners who serve as vanguards against the continued mistreatment of the environment.<div> <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/events/2026/2/18/abs-cbn-bags-multiple-honors-in-first-ph-arts-film-and-television-awards-1434">ABS-CBN bags multiple honors in first PH Arts, Film, and Television Awards</a></div> “Noong sinimulan natin ang Gandingan, simple lamang ang pangarap: parangalan ang mga paborito nating personalidad at mga programa. Pero kasama nito, hamunin ang midya. Hamunin itong maging higit pa sa tagapaghatid ng balita. Hamunin itong maging kasangkapan ng kaunlaran,” said Gandingan Awards founder Mark Lester del Mundo Chico. (When we started the Gandingan, the dream was simple: to honor our favorite personalities and programs. But alongside this was a challenge—to push the media to be more than just a conveyor of news and to become an instrument of development.)

ABS-CBN News’ Michael Delizo was named Best Field Reporter at this year’s Gandingan Awards, where several ABS-CBN programs were also recognized by the student-led award-giving body now in its third decade.
