For musicians, drummer Mark Escueta and bassist Nathan Azarcon from Rivermaya were joined by former guitarist Kakoy Legaspi. The Walk of Fame acknowledgment marks another significant achievement for the band, following their recent celebration of 30 years in the industry with a highly successful reunion concert featuring their original ’90s lineup. The legendary 1980s band The Dawn, fronted by vocalist Jet Pangan, received well-deserved acknowledgment. 

In the News and Public Affairs sector, business journalist Cathy Yap-Yang, Kapuso entertainment reporter Lhar Santiago, and DZBB radio anchor Joel Reyes Zobel were honored as this year’s inductees.
