The Only Philippine Station that can claim “Emmy-Nominated Network” is ABS-CBN.
Emmy Awards kung saan nanalo na rin ang
CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, at HBO
If you can not call that World-Class, then what is?

ano ang mgagawa ni sarah, piolo, angel at iba pa kung wla nmng awards. aminin nyo na hanggang star awards lng shows nyo, di nyo kyang suhulang ang new york festiva, peabody awards, asian television awards at emmys…
hndi masusukat ang husay ng isang istasyon sa artista n2, kahit nga sa ratings taub na taub kayo, no wonder ang kunti ng int. awards nyo..

Well, International awards really bring pride for the country but isn’t more heart warming if you are recognized by your own country?
Bakit nga kaya mas maraming Local Awards na natatanggap ang ABS-CBN kaysa GMA? Kasi nga ang mga ipinapalabas namang shows ng dalawang istasyong ito ay INTENDED for FILIPINO VIEWERS hindi ba? Kaya mas naiintindihan ng isang PILIPINO ang kapwa niya PILIPINO kasi nga mas alam niya ang kung ano ang mas nararapat para sa kanya bilang isang PILIPINO. Kaya naman mas maraming LOCAL AWARDS na natatanggap ang ABS-CBN. So it’s not about the suhulan isyu kung bakit nananalo ang ABS-CBN ng mas maraming awards! And sa International Awards naman only FILIPINOS can understand the nature of being a FILIPINO! Hindi kailanman kayang intindihin ng isang dayuhan kung ano at sino tayong mga PIILINO.
