Award-winning host Robi Domingo earned his spot in the Hall of Fame for being a Makabata Star honoree for seven years. “This Hall of Fame award is not just a milestone, it is a challenge. A challenge to be there to tell stories that uplift, use my voice for good, and to remain a positive influence for the youth who will one day shape our country,” he shared in his acceptance speech.
Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, BINI Aiah Arceta, Darren Espanto, Joshua Garcia, and Melai Cantiveros-Francisco were hailed as Makabata Stars for embodying values that Filipino children can emulate.

The Anak TV Awards program is given by Anak TV, an organization that advocates for child-sensitive, family-friendly television in the country. The Anak TV Seal helps ensure parents that the programs being aired are suitable for children. The Makabata Star awardees, meanwhile, were voted on during the various symposia on media literacy and program screenings conducted by Anak TV in major schools and universities across the country. The Net Makabata award is based on the results of online voting held from 14-18 November, where netizens cast their votes for personalities they deem help positively shape and influence the lives of children and netizens.
