Leading broadcast media company GMA Network is once more recognized as the Most Trusted TV Network at the 2024 Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Awards. This distinction gives the Kapuso Network its eighth Platinum Award in the category.

The Platinum Award is the highest honor conferred annually to shortlisted trusted brands in the Philippines.

Receiving the award for the network was GMA’s senior vice president for Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Development, and Concurrent chief risk officer and head, Program Support Department Regie C. Bautista. Also in attendance was GMA assistant vice president for Program Support Department Hasmin A. Marable.

Broadcast journalist Atom Araullo, in turn, was honored for the second consecutive year as the Most Trusted TV Host for News and Current Affairs.

Araullo co-anchors GMA Integrated News’ flagship newscast on GTV, State of the Nation, with Maki Pulido. He is also part of the long-running documentary program I-Witness and hosts the bi-monthly public affairs show The Atom Araullo Specials.

Winners of the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Awards are determined through its Trusted Brands Survey, where 8,000 consumers across markets of the Philippines identify the brands, services and personalities they trust the most based on key attributes such as trustworthiness and credibility, quality, value, understanding of customer needs, innovation and social responsibility.
