Awarded for Excellence in commercial success
Country Philippines
Presented by Memorial Scholarship Foundation
First awarded 1971

The Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Box-Office Entertainment Awards, better known as the GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards or simply Box-Office Entertainment Awards, is an annual award ceremony held in Metro Manila. The award-giving body honors stars and performers simply for their popularity and commercial success in the Philippine entertainment industry, regardless of their excellence in their particular fields.[1]

During the first months of each year, mostly during March or April, the Memorial Scholarship Foundation board of jurors will deliberate for the year's winners, which will be chosen from the Top 10 Philippine films of the past year, top-rating shows in Philippine television, top recording awards received by singers, and top gross receipts of concerts and performances. The list will then be released prior to the awards night, which is held during April or May.[2]

History

Ferdie Syquia Villar, the person who launched the "Miss Republic of the Philippines" contest, came up with the "Box-Office King and Queen Awards" in 1960s, and formally launched his idea in 1970. By the late '70s, after then President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972,[3] he turned the responsibility over to Corazon Samaniego before leaving for abroad.[4]

Corazon Samaniego, a former businesswoman in Bulacan, continued the presentation and officially inaugurated the "Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc." in 1971. The organization is named after a former Bulacan town mayor and philanthropist and her late father, Guillermo Mendoza. It became an annual event, recognizing the most popular people and their works in the Philippine entertainment industry. At the end of the day, the proceeds from the television rights and gate receipts are used to send underprivileged Bulacan students to school.[5]

Controversies

The following are the controversies of the award ceremonies:

It was also believed that there was a leakage of the winners list, saying that the "Box-Office Queen" title would be given to Toni Gonzaga for her film My Amnesia Girl. However, many even speculated that Ai-Ai delas Alas would receive the title for her box-office movie Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na 'To!). In the end, the latter received the award.[29]
