Kathryn Bernardo, Alden Richards, DongYan to receive Box Office honors
MANILA, Philippines — Celebrity couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes lead the recipients of the returning Box Office Entertainment Awards of the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation.
The Box Office Entertainment Awards were last conducted in 2019, which happened to be its 50th edition, and the following year it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The foundation decided to bring back the Box Office Entertainment Awards recognizing individuals and personalities for their commercial achievements, with the ceremony set on May 12 in Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo De Manila University.
Marian and Dingdong will receive the Box Office Phenomenal Stars of Philippine Cinema and the Most Popular Loveteam for Movies awards following the success of their Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2023 entry "Rewind," which is now the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time.
Dingdong will also share the Film Actor of the Year award with Piolo Pascual who starred in another MMFF 2023 movie "Mallari," while Vilma Santos is the sole recipient of the female counterpart for her own MMFF 2023 film "When I Met You In Tokyo."
Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards will each receive the Box Office Queen and King awards for their films "A Very Good Girl" and "Five Breakups and A Romance," respectively.
