The entertainment-lifestyle website LionhearTV is hard at work getting ready for the 9th RAWR Awards, having just celebrated its 15th anniversary in October. This yearly celebration of excellence in the dynamic showbiz sector is a testament to LionhearTV’s persistent commitment to doing so.
The RAWR Awards have evolved into a stunning show, attracting not only the enthusiastic support of PR groups and fans passionately backing their favorite nominees, but also the strong support of 250 new media practitioners (bloggers) from all over the Philippines.
The inception of the RAWR Awards traces back to 2015, an era when the blogging community was burgeoning. However, it was evident that there was a conspicuous gap in acknowledging and honoring the voices of bloggers and their ardent readers. To fill this void, LionhearTV conceived the RAWR Awards.
Year after year, the RAWR Awards are presented through the LionhearTV.net platform, aptly christened after the mighty lion, symbolizing the strength and influence these awardees hold in the entertainment sphere. These accolades are dedicated to individuals who have left an indelible mark on the industry.
In the nascent stages, the awards were exclusively organized by LionhearTV, with victors chosen by the website’s loyal readers. Over time, the voting process extended to encompass more than 100 bloggers from various regions of the Philippines, each representing a diverse niche within the bustling blogging community. Despite the vicissitudes encountered along this journey, the unwavering commitment to this cause remains steadfast, driven by the belief that this represents the collective voice of the blogging community, a voice deserving of recognition and acclaim within the broader entertainment panorama.
The RAWR Awards are divided into four principal categories: Lion, Cub, Pride, and SILOG Awards. The Cub Awards encompass nine subcategories, encompassing distinctions such as Beshie ng Taon, Favorite Bida, Favorite Kontrabida, Breakthrough Artist, Favorite Newbie, Bet na Bet na Teleserye, Song of the Year, Movie of the Year, and Digital Series. The Lion Awards feature nine categories, venerating luminaries including the Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, Pak na Pak na Comedian, Male News Personality of the Year, Female News Personality of the Year, Love Team of the Year, Favorite Performer of the Year, Favorite TV Host, and Favorite DJ. The Pride Awards, on the other hand, encapsulate four categories, paying homage to entities such as the Radio Station of the Year, TV Station of the Year, Favorite Group, and Fan Club of the Year. Lastly, the SILOG Awards boast an impressive array of 17 categories, celebrating digital influencers and content creators, spanning domains like Art, Content Creation, Cosplay, Couples, Digital Influence, Drag, Fashion/Beauty, Food/Travel, Gaming, Health/Fitness, Influencer Families, LGBTQIA, Parenting, Podcasts, Streaming, Short-Form Vlogging, and Long-Form Vlogging.
The RAWR Awards, with a cumulative count of 31 categories, in conjunction with the SILOG Awards, featuring 17 categories, furnish the Philippine entertainment industry with an illustrious platform for appreciation and commendation.
Fans play a pivotal role in determining the victors, holding 66.66% of the voting authority. This authority is parceled into two equitable segments: 33.33% from online votes via the official website and KTX and another 33.33% from online searches conducted within LionhearTV, Dailypedia, and PH Entertainment. The remaining 33.33% is contributed by the blogging community, PR entities, and brand partners.
The RAWR Awards do more than just honor local talent; they also work to strengthen relationships with partners who have similar values and goals. With these honors, LionhearTV.net would like to express its sincere appreciation to all of the supporters who have supported the website since its launch.
The RAWR Awards website on LionhearTV is currently hosting live polls where you can cast your votes for your favorite nominees in each of their respective categories. Voting will run until 11:59 p.m. on December 4.

Today, October 19, Santa Rosa, Laguna, honors the 28th anniversary of Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, producing and offering amazing experiences and memories that last a lifetime for the Filipinos.
The theme park began with seven elaborately themed zones that were dotted with food stands, shops, kiosks, and other skill games when it first opened to the public in 1995. EK expanded to nine themed zones almost three decades after it first opened, housing more than 30 rides and attractions, 13 entertainment performances, 21 souvenir stores, 11 event facilities, and the AGILA the EKsperience, the country’s first and only flying theater.
More than just a themed amusement park offering thrill and excitement, the theme park also provides educational entertainment (edutainment) to guests of all ages, especially students.
Magical Beginnings
With the upcoming 28th anniversary celebration, EK Chairman and President Mario O. Mamon shared the humble beginnings of the theme park during the Philippine Tourism Investment Summit 2023.
“Why invest in tourism, specifically a theme or amusement park? Because there were no honest to goodness theme parks in the country at the time that we started planning. There were none of the scale, magnitude and qualities similar to theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm & Disneyland in California,” Mr. Mamon explained.
“Most especially, we wanted to provide Filipinos the opportunity to obtain the ‘authentic theme park’ experience without necessarily having to travel abroad to do so,” he continued.
A Roller Coaster Ride and TIEZA partnership
But as in any pioneering venture, Enchanted Kingdom faced many internal and external challenges over the years, hence EK’s “roller coaster history”.
When the construction was implemented from 1992 to 1995, theme or amusement parks were not in the Investment Priorities Plan (IPP) of the Board of Investments (BOI) and the government. Mr. Mamon said that the enactment of Republic Act No. 9593, or “The Tourism Act of 2009,” gave EK a ray of hope for their future development plans as “theme parks” were then specifically included as a tourism enterprise.
“The decade after RA 9593’s enactment were our growth years wherein we increased not only our attendance but also our land area with the end in view of transforming the standalone facility into a multi-day, multi experiential ‘integrated attractions destination,’ similar to what other parks were doing all over the world. We decided to put our plans into motion in 2019 by applying for TIEZA accreditation to become both a Tourism Enterprise Zone (TEZ) and a Registered Tourism Enterprise (RTE),” Mr. Mamon narrated.
However, after TIEZA granted EK the seal of approval in 2020, the pandemic occurred. Still, EK bravely proceeded with the delivery and installation of their latest ride attraction, working collaboratively with TIEZA, all during the early lockdown phase of the pandemic.
Magic lives forever: Future Plans
As the impact of the pandemic eased by 2022, the tourism sector slowly recovered and regained its vibrancy. In fact, EK was cited by the government of Laguna for generating the highest number of same day visitors in 2022. The recognition was conferred during the provincial government’s celebration of the National Tourism Week 2023 at the Cultural Center of Laguna.
According to Chief Operating Officer Dr. Cynthia R. Mamon, the world class theme park is steadfast in enhancing its products and services to create magical experiences for all its guests. “Enchanted Kingdom is committed to our vision to be the Philippine leader in wholesome family leisure and entertainment. The recognition will serve as an inspiration to EK to always be the best channel of magic to every Filipino. We hope that in continuing to give our best, we are able to contribute to the betterment of our immediate community here in Laguna,” said Dr. Mamon.
Through its upcoming Cultural Village, which will feature rides and attractions centered on Filipino culture and history, Enchanted Kingdom is dedicated to strengthening and fostering Filipino patriotism beyond its 28th anniversary. With branded dining establishments planned for the EK Portico area, which is close to the park’s entrance, EK is also working its magic to give its visitors an upgraded dining experience.
Theme park will open its gates every day of the week beginning December 17 and will continue to offer pure family entertainment, particularly throughout the Christmas season, according to EK’s final announcement.

Offshore Music, a Manila-based independent label renowned for its avant-garde talent and emphasis on creative integrity, has formally introduced its newest crop of domestic musical acts for 2023.
The independent record company just debuted a diverse group of solo artists, singer-songwriters, and collegiate rock bands who are ready to make a name for themselves in the music business thanks to their extraordinary talent and distinctive perspectives.
On Thursday, October 12, 2023, at the Astbury in Makati City, the launch—presented by Offshore Music with assistance from Sony Music Entertainment and The New Hue—took place.
The newcomers were introduced and given a minute apiece to share a bit about themselves, in addition to the customary Q&A and networking opportunities with media and business executives. The newly signed artists under Offshore Music include the city pop group ALYSON, the indie rock band Amateurish from Baguio City, the up-and-coming alternative rock stars Ligaya Escueta and Her Name Is Noelle, the alt-R&B adventurers JDRX and CRISHA, the funk/pop/groove band Mt. Lewis, the folk/indie artist Bre, and the psych pop troubadour Elton Clark.
In making the announcement, Offshore Music CEO Ely Buendia said, “I really don’t know what to expect, and that’s what’s great about it. By choosing Offshore Music, these artists have proven that they value artistic growth over anything else.”
Buendia also emphasized the label’s guiding force since day one: “Artists for Artists.” Over the years, he took pride in how Offshore Music remained consistent in championing a generation of talented, young musicians who continue to push the boundaries of music on creative terms.
“The team’s real-world experiences are invaluable to the artists careers, making their growth, authenticity, and creativity the number one priority,” the Filipino rock legend adds.
As one of the most significant independent record labels in the nation to this day, Offshore Music continues to uphold its reputation by giving homes to carefully chosen musicians and artists including Apartel, ena mori, Pinkmen, Sulo, Sansette, and Eliza Marie.
One of their newly signed acts, Elton Clark kicks off the release spree with “Wait Lang,” his debut single under Offshore Music and Sony Music Entertainment. A timely song that addresses the struggles of everyday life in the city, “Wait Lang” finds comfort in taking periodic pauses and embracing moments of rest. Speaking about his debut single, Elton Clark shares, “I wanted ‘Wait Lang’ to be a reminder to my listeners that no matter how hectic life gets, it’s crucial to take a moment to breathe. This song is about acknowledging the challenges we face and understanding that it’s okay to pause and recharge.”
Upcoming new releases:
Oct 13 – Elton Clark, “Wait Lang”
Oct 20 – Breē, “Sweet”

Another motivational anthem from Ben&Ben proclaims the strength of overcoming personal difficulties in life.
The stripped-down rendition of the new song “Courage (acoustic version)” by the Filipino folk-pop group is dedicated to the dreamers who are battling to muster the courage to face an unforgiving reality.
“The past few months have been mentally tough for the band, with challenges surrounding us and driving us to low points and times of discouragement,” the chart-topping band shares in a press statement. “These valleys have been the inspiration for Courage. We realized that, as visceral as the feeling of being hopeless may be for us, we wanted to channel it into an uplifting piece of music because it is something a lot of people are going through now but have a hard time verbalizing.”
The straightforward song, which is available today through Sony Music Entertainment, was written by Miguel and Paolo Benjamin and produced by Jean Paul Verona, a frequent working partner. Verona wanted to concentrate on a back-to-basics approach while commanding the listener’s attention in every conceivable way, from the potent lyrics down to the warm melodies.
The numerously honored group reveals, “For this one, we went back to our roots, wherein we let the reverberations of the acoustic guitars envelope the harmonies we did for the voices. For the initial release of Courage, we kept things straightforward since we wanted to get the song’s message out to our audience as quickly as possible.”
Ben&Ben’s “Courage (acoustic version)” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
