From 7 nominations garnered by the Philippines from the 16th Asian Television Awards, ABS-CBN and TV5 won 1 trophy each.

The two awards won by the Philippines from the recently-concluded Asian Television Awards came from the Kapamilya and the Kapatid Network.

TV5, on the other hand, won the technical award for Best Theme Song courtesy of Boy Christopher Ramos‘ “Ito Ang Buhay ko” for the drama antology Star Confessions. It bested 3 nominees from Malaysia and 1 from Singapore.
