'Makabata Hall of Famer: Jodi Sta. Maria and Dominic Roque with Anak TV President Elvira Yap Go.'

IBC-13 has proven to be a child-sensitive and family-friendly network after its programs and stars received prestigious Anak TV awards from the Anak TV Foundation last Saturday (Dec 10) during an awarding ceremony held at the Quezon City Experience Hall in Quezon City.

After winning the hearts of young viewers for eight consecutive years as Makabata Stars, or personalities children can emulate, Kapinoy royalties Dominic Roque and Jodi Sta. Maria were officially inducted to the Makabata Hall of Fame. The two personally accepted their awards from Anak TV president Elvira Go.

Anak TV is an “advocacy organization the promotes television literacy and pushes the agenda for child-sensitive, family-friendly television in the Philippines.”

The organization enlisted 5,000 adult jurors, from different sectors all over the Philippines, to review the shows that will be awarded with the Anak TV seals, which serve as seal of approval for programs to be watched by kids even with little or no adult supervision.

Among the Kapinoy shows that were chosen by the jurors where Pamana, Math Power, Learn with English, KapinoyLand and Winx Club.

The Anak TV Foundation also recognized 15 Kapamilya personalities for making it to this year’s roster of Makabata Stars. They were voted on by 11,000 people – who are mostly parents, teachers, and university students – who believed they were ideal role models for children.

Joe D'Mango led the list of male Makabata stars together with Richard Yap, Bret Jackson, Rico dela Paz, Diego Loyzaga, Dingdong Avanzado and Victor Anastacio.

Liza Soberano topped the list of female Makabata stars alongside Cherryz Mendoza, Donnalyn Bartolome, Jenine Desiderio, Kaye Abad, Keith Cruz, Lani Misalucha and Anja Aguilar.
