The recognition places ABS-CBN ahead of long-time rival GMA Network (Silver) and the Manila Broadcasting Co. (Bronze), based on votes from analysts and investors across Asia over the past 12 months.
ABS-CBN has restructured its business to focus on content production and distribution, leaning on partnerships, digital platforms, and licensing deals to stay competitive. Its recent collaboration with GMA Pictures on Hello, Love, Again proved commercially successful, with the film grossing over P1.6 billion and setting a new local box office record.
The company has expanded its reach through streaming, YouTube, and international markets, allowing it to remain visible despite the absence of a broadcast franchise.

The three Philippine winners stood out in FinanceAsia’s 25th annual poll of Asia’s best companies, a benchmark known for capturing corporate reputation across sectors.
