Now in its 46th year, the CMMA celebrates excellence in media across multiple platforms, including radio, print, television, and film. Established by the Archdiocese of Manila in 1978, the awards honor the critical role of communicators in promoting human values and fostering responsible media practices. The CMMA continues to adapt to the evolving landscape of communication while recognizing individuals who contribute to values-driven media in the Philippines.
