Sarah Geronimo is undeniably one of the most admired personalities in the entertainment industry. She is loved by all ages, from the young ones up to the young-at-heart's. ☺
Recently, after nine months of voting, the kids all over the country once again voted Sarah Geronimo for the 8th consecutive year as one of the Most Admired TV Personalities in the country. Sarah Geronimo has received such award since 2006. Since then, she won yearly --- 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. And this year, after receiving 7 awards in a row, she wins her 8th and joins the Hall-of-Fame of Anak TV Seal Awards! WOW!
Below is the article from Manila Bulletin confirming this award. ☺
Nation picks most child friendly stars
After a nine-month long survey that covered the breadth and length of the country, the votes of thousands of jurors were further validated by an august group of professionals who screened through the shortlist. The negative votes given to stars who figured in the Ayaw Ko list were subtracted from the plus votes they obtained in the Gusto Ko column and the resultant score was the basis of the ranking and final selection.
Anak TV will induct into its annual Roster of Makabata Stars the following TV personalities, who in the estimate of many parents, teachers and NGOs are celebrities who they want their children to model after.
They are (for males) Ryan Agoncillo, Kim Atienza, Noli de Castro, Dingdong Dantes, Ted Failon, Coco Martin, Daniel Padilla, Vic Sotto, Anthony Taberna, and Richard Yap.
Dantes of GMA and teenage heartthrob Padilla are first-timers in the roster, the same roster that has elevated the likes of Mike Enriquez, Julius Babao, and Gary Valenciano to the Hall of Fame for topping the survey for eight consecutive years.
For females, the list this year includes newcomer Kathryn Bernardo, Kim Chiu, Kara David, Karen Davila, Angel Locsin, first-timer Marian Rivera, Charo Santos Concio, Judy Ann Santos, Jodi Sta. Maria and Vicky Morales.
The list was led for years by news anchors Mel Tiangco and Korina Sanchez, who, like Enriquez, Valenciano, and Babao, went on to become Hall of Fame awardees in 2011.
This year, the Hall of Fame awardees are Jessica Soho, Bernadette Sembrano, and Sarah Geronimo.
Yearly, the stars come in droves to the Anak TV awards. It is by far the only industry ceremony held in the morning and which is covered by nearly every channel.
In a recent symposium for special children, Davila was heard enthusiastically describing the awards as their “most cherished” recognition because it comes from thousands of people across all social, political, religious, and geographical boundaries and not simply from a heterogeneous handful of judges.
The ceremonies are slated on Dec. 12 at the Soka Gakkai Building in Quezon City with Senator Grace Poe as key guest. Among the many presenters are Nora Aunor, child star Ryzza Mae Dizon, acclaimed director Brillante Mendoza, and MTRCB chairperson Toto Villareal.
