KathNiel vs JaDine vs AlDub in PUSH Awards 2015


MANILA, Philippines – ABS-CBN has teamed up with PLDT, its official broadband partner, for its very own PUSH Awards, the first-of-its-kind award-giving body in Philippine digital media that honors the best among the past year’s certified online hits and entertainment newsmakers based on their online reach and influence, popular votes, and excellence.

ABS-CBN chief digital officer Donald Lim said teaming up with PLDT is also an alliance in terms of breaking new ground and recognizing influencers in the digital space.

“We believe that as our audiences become more mature with the digital platform, it is important for our industry’s talents and celebrities to keep the engagement and conversations with their fans beyond the traditional media platforms, and now towards the social media space,” he said.

PLDT VP and Home Marketing head Gary Dujali, meanwhile, said the partnership is an avenue to acknowledge the importance of social media, connectivity, and the role of entertainment to nurture stronger connections for the Filipino families.

“PLDT is very excited, at the same time positive, about the partnership. PLDT HOME DSL is the country’s #1 home broadband, which ensures that avid fans of celebrities featured in this year’s Push Awards will be able to get their daily dose of their Philippine entertainment updates while availing the connectivity that suits every family,” said Dujali.
