Travel and food documentary program Pinas Sarap received the Philippine Tourism Excellence Award for Travel Show at the Department of Tourism’s first Philippine Tourism Awards on Sept. 8 at Okada Manila.
Hosted by broadcast journalist Kara David, the GTV program highlights heritage recipes, emerging food trends and sustainable practices in the communities it features. The show serves as a platform for towns, cities, and provinces to share their culinary traditions with local and international audiences.
David thanked the DOT for the recognition, saying the Pinas Sarap team will continue its work of telling stories about the country’s food, history, and culture.
The Philippine Tourism Awards recognized 51 Pillar Awardees and 32 Tourism Industry Awardees across categories, including enterprises, destinations, individuals, and associations, for their contributions to tourism.
Now in its eighth year, Pinas Sarap continues to explore Filipino food culture and innovations. The program airs Saturdays at 8:15 p.m. on GTV and is also available to audiences abroad on GMA Life TV.
