Presidential undersecretary Joee Guilas has scored a back-to-back win as Best Male Newscaster at the 37th Star Awards for Television.
Guilas, who serves under the Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs, was recognized for his work on PTV News Tonight, the state network’s primetime English newscast. The ceremony was held at the VS Hotel Convention Center.
The Star Awards for Television, organized annually by the Philippine Movie Press Club, is the country’s longest-running awards program for the medium. Its latest edition honored achievements in 2023.
Before entering government service, Guilas worked as a news anchor for PTV and as a communications executive for several private conglomerates. In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to colleagues at the government network and acknowledged the efforts of production staff.
He also paid tribute to his fellow nominees, including veteran broadcaster Noli de Castro of ABS-CBN, whom he described as his mentor.
