Alden, who was unable to attend the event, got the biggest haul of awards for the GMA Network.
Aside from the Best Male Pop Artist Award, he also won Song of the Year, Pop Album of the Year and Album of the Year for “Wish I May” under GMA Records.
The night also featured performances from Christian Bautista, Yeng Constantino, Jed Madela, Morissette Amon, Mark Bautista, among others.
A montage was played to pay tribute to the film industry’s dearly departed in the last year and in recent months.
“Sadly, this year alone we lost three beloved figures in our industry: Master star builder German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, director Uro dela Cruz, and most recently, phenomenal blockbuster director Wenn Deramas, and another Kapamilya director, Francis Pasion,” said Piolo Pascual.
Hosting the event were Kapamilya stars Robi Domingo, Alex Gonzaga, Jodi Sta. Maria, Luis Manzano, Xian Lim and Kim Chiu.
