TV5 and IdeaFirst Company (one of the Network’s biggest partner studios) are big winners at the recently-concluded RAWR Awards.
LionhearTV, the country’s leading entertainment site held digitally on December 16 this year.
For its 7th edition, RAWR Awards expanded its reach as it included new categories to recognize more productions and individuals that excelled in various fields throughout the year.
The Kapatid network and its shows and artists bested out fellow nominees in several categories. Like the past years, the 2021 RAWR Awards is grouped into four sets of awards, namely CUB, LION, PRIDE, and ROYAL. TV5 took home awards from CUB and LION categories.
Maja Salvador led TV5 and IdeaFirst’s honorees this year, with her double-win. The Niña Niño star took home both the Favorite Bida and Actress of the Year trophies. The Favorite Bida award is handed to artists who made remarkable performances in both film and television, while the Actress the Year of the award is given to local actresses who proved their mettle in tackling challenging roles. Salvador did just that when she took on Niña in ideaFirst Company-produced TV series, Niña Niño.
