The La Estrella Verde team picked up a fresh win at the 40th Catholic Mass Media Awards after their "Filipinos First" television promo was adjudged as the best in the Public Service Ad category.

The television ad was inspired by the experiences of millions of Overseas Filipino Workers abroad and the sacrifices that they have to make to build a better future for their families. Prior to the CMMA win, the ad was also named as the champion in the Public Service Announcement by The Journ Project, where it was also honored with the People's Choice Award."Filipinos First" Director Maeca Camus was also recognized as the Best Director by TJP.

Meanwhile, La Estrella Verde's official literary folio, Morpheme, also made it as a finalist in the Best Literary Publication category of the 40th CMMA.

The Catholic Mass Media Awards is an annual event organized by the CMMA Foundation which pays tribute to “media products that enhance the total human development of the Filipino audience through the competent and professional use of mass media techniques.”
