PMPC Star Awards, Inc. proudly unveils the official nominees for the 37th Star Awards for Television, celebrating the finest achievements in Philippine television for the year 2023. The grand ceremony will be held on August 24, 2025, at 6:00 PM, at the 10th Floor Ballroom of VS Hotel Convention Center, located at 799 EDSA Southbound, South Triangle, Quezon City.
More than just a venue, VS Hotel Convention Center is front and center this year as the official home of the 37th edition — providing a sophisticated, state-of-the-art setting worthy of the country’s most glamorous television awards. Its central location, modern amenities, and growing reputation as a premier convention destination make it the ideal stage for honoring the industry’s brightest talents.
After a pandemic-related delay, the 37th edition finally takes its rightful place in the spotlight. Earlier this year, the 38th Star Awards for Television honored the best of 2024, but the PMPC Star Awards, Inc. remained steadfast in its promise to properly recognize the exceptional programs, performances, and personalities of 2023.
For over three decades, the PMPC Star Awards for Television has upheld its legacy as one of the most respected and enduring award-giving bodies in Philippine entertainment — honoring not just fame, but excellence, storytelling, and the power to move and inspire.
This year’s nominees reflect the evolving energy of the television landscape — from intense dramas and incisive newscasts to laugh-out-loud comedies, youth-oriented shows, and reality programs. A mix of established icons and exciting new faces rounds out this year’s highly competitive roster.
“Nakaka-excite talaga every year kapag panahon na ng Star Awards,” said PMPC Star Awards, Inc. President Mell T. Navarro. “Ang daming talented na artists sa industriya, and this is our chance to give them the recognition they truly deserve.”
“Hindi lang ‘to tungkol sa panalo,” added Overall Chairman Fernan de Guzman. “It’s about celebrating the passion and dedication of those who bring joy, stories, and inspiration into every Filipino home.”
“Ramdam namin ang pagbabago sa panlasa ng audience, pati na rin sa platforms,” shared Chairman Roldan Castro. “Kaya exciting ang mix ng nominees, mga legends at promising newcomers, at lahat sila mahuhusay!”
A special highlight of the evening will be the presentation of honorary awards and special citations to individuals and institutions whose contributions extend beyond the screen. Among them is VS Hotel Corporation, which will be conferred the Outstanding Achievement in Urban Hotel & Convention Development award. The citation underscores VS Hotel’s forward-thinking approach to hospitality — integrating business, leisure, and lifestyle into a single thriving space, making it a hub for landmark events like the Star Awards.
With its debut as host venue, VS Hotel Convention Center is now firmly cemented as a premier partner in the country’s entertainment landscape — proving that style, functionality, and cultural relevance can exist in perfect harmony.
This year’s ceremony is expected to bring together a who’s who of television — a night of celebration, collaboration, and cinematic elegance.
The PMPC Star Awards, Inc. invites fans, media partners, and industry supporters to check out the full list of nominees and show their support as the big night approaches. Details on coverage, livestreaming, and special features will be announced soon.
