Reviewing the 2007 Catholic Mass Media Awards

October 30, 2007 by · 22 Comments 

The 29th Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) was held on October 25, 2007, Thursday night, at the Marie Eugenie Theater of the Assumption College in San Lorenzo Village, Makati City. Here are some interesting facts on this year’s Catholic’s choices:

  • GMA 7 bested ABS-CBN 2 with just 1 award. GMA got 6 while ABS-CBN got 5. Taking into consideration that “awards” weigh more than citations.
  • Overall, ABS-CBN brought home the most awards if we are to include the 3 trophies from the Radio category as won by their AM radio station DZMM and 1 from the music category, Best religious recording as won by Star Records.
  • The Best Drama Series was given to ABS-CBN’s Super Inggo, but not as an award but only a citation. This might be because the said show, or any other drama series on tv for that matter, doesn’t fit the conservative “criteria” of the CMMA. Being a religious award, the program should exemplify positive filipino values and promote good moral conduct. Super Inggo is the nearest teleserye to fit the criteria but not the ultimate one because of some supernatural elements like Tikbalang and aswang, i guess. That might be the reason why CMMA was a little hesitant in giving a trophy in the said category, instead, it was just a citation. On the other hand, the Best Drama Program (should be Best Drama Anthology?) was awarded to GMA 7′s Magpakailanman.
  • There were no winners in some categories like Best News Commentary in the radio category, and the Best Business News/Feature, Best Special Event Coverage in the television category. The Mt. Everest coverage by ABS-CBN was snubbed?
  • Two Protestant radio stations have finally won a Catholic Mass Media Award each. This is a nice gesture by the CMMA showing that they do not discriminate in giving awards. The radio stations are 98.7 DZFE and the Sam-Milby/Piolo-Pascual-endorsed 702 DZAS.
  • The internationally acclaimed indie movie Kubrador bagged the Best Picture award. Nice choice, i might add.
  • Below is the complete list of winners in the Television, Music and Radio categories:
