She also expressed her interest in joining GMA Network in the future. For this year’s search, a total of 28 nominees vied for the award, with the top 7 finalists making it to the final screening held on July 16 at the GMA Network Headquarters in Quezon City. These finalists include Arambulo and her UP batchmates, Edmer C. Maguan, Ma. Regina T. Lopez, and Kiersnerr Gerwin B. Tacadena , Darlene Amabele P.

Betong Sumaya shares his journey in the TV industry
The awarding ceremony was preceded by inspiring talks from GMA News reporter Dano Tingcungco, who was a previous GMA Network Excellence Awardee himself, and Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown Winner Betong Sumaya. Now on its 14th year, the GMA Network Excellence Award is among the flagship CSR programs of the Kapuso Network.
