Television in the Philippines
Television was first introduced to the Philippines in October 1953, with the first commercial broadcast by Alto Broadcasting System (now ABS-CBN). This made the Philippines the first Southeast Asian country and the second Asian country to air television broadcasts. During the late 1940s, Filipino engineers and students conducted academic experiments related to broadcasting. From 1975 to 1978, the Philippine Academy for Television Arts and Sciences (PATAS) presented the SINAG Awards. The Star Awards for Television, the country's oldest existing television awards show, is presented annually by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) after a vote by members of the press. The Philippines does not operate any independent public broadcasting television networks. However, there are several government-owned networks.
