Asian Television Awards 2013 Winners List

Advertisements
The Asian Television Awards 2-13 (or the 18th Asian TV Awards) winners announcement or the awarding ceremony has just been happened at the Compass Ballroom of Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore. Did Marian Rivera score a Best Actress win?

The GMA 7 star was nominated for the first time in the Asian TV Awards for her role in the Philippine remake of "Temptation of Wife". She was up against another Pinoy, Lorna Tolentino, for "Pahiram ng Sandali (Chasing Moments)" also from GMA 7 and other Asian actresses such as Malaysia's Debbie Goh, Hong Kong's Kate Tsui Tsz-shan and Taiwan's Jade Chou and Wen-lin Fang.

Locally, Marian won Best Drama Actress in the 27th PMPC Star Awards for Television held more than a week ago. But sadly though, in the just-concluded 2013 Asian TV Awards, Marian lost the award to Taiwanese actress Jade Chou. It's Ms. Lorna Tolentino meanwhile who got the "Highly Commended" title for that category.

Other nominees from the Philippines were GMA 7 shows like "Born Impact: When Whales Strand" for Best Natural History or Wildlife Programme, "Saksi (Eye-Witness): Typhoon Pablo's Trail of Death" for Best News Programme, "24 Oras (24 Hours): Bagyong Pablo (Typhoon Pablo)" also for Best News Programme and "Reporter's Notebook: Bagyong Pablo (Typhoon Pablo)" for Best Current Affairs Programme; the ABS-CBN reality program "The X Factor Philippines"; Presidential sister and actress-host Kris Aquino as Best Entertainment Presenter/Host for ABS-CBN's "Kris TV" and once again, Michael V. as Best Comedy Actor for GMA 7's "Bubble Gang".

Michael V. already won such award in 2004, 2005, 2006, then was named runner-up in 2007 and highly commended in 2009. And for this year, he is once again honored "Highly Commended".

Also winning "Highly Commended" under Best News Programme category is Saksi's Typhoon Pablo coverage.
