BIGO Philippines Awards Gala 2025 Celebrates Filipino Creators on a Global Stage

Filipino talent took center stage as Bigo Live hosted the highly anticipated BIGO Philippines Awards Gala 2025, the platform’s biggest annual celebration honoring creativity, influence, and community impact.

Held on 17 January 2026 at the elegant Marquis Events Place, the gala spotlighted the country’s top livestreaming creators and agencies while setting the stage for Filipino finalists heading to the global BIGO Awards Gala 2026 in South Korea later this month.

With over 350 creators, agencies, partners, and users in attendance and thousands more watching live through the Bigo Live app, the event highlighted the growing power of the Filipino livestreaming community. Award-winning creators such as IKANGMO and Bright led a night that blended fashion, entertainment, and digital culture under the theme Vogue Vision, turning the venue into a bold showcase of Filipino creativity and self-expression.

Honoring Filipino Talent and Community Impact

The BIGO Philippines Awards Gala 2025 recognized creators who have built meaningful connections with audiences through authenticity, entertainment, and cultural storytelling. From humor and music to everyday life moments, Filipino creators continue to shape global livestreaming with content that resonates both locally and internationally.

“Bigo Live has reshaped how Filipinos connect and create in real time,” said a Bigo Live Philippines spokesperson. “This year, we are proud to honor more than 22 local creators who represent the growth and diversity of our community. Bigo Live has become a digital home where Filipino culture is shared worldwide, especially for Filipinos overseas seeking connection and familiarity. We remain committed to supporting creators through a safe and empowering ecosystem.”

Fans Decide the Winners

Community participation was at the heart of this year’s gala. Winners were chosen through in-app voting, making the celebration a true reflection of audience support and engagement. Top honors went to creators and agencies who made a lasting impact on the platform throughout the year.

The event reflected what makes livestreaming powerful on Bigo Live: real-time interaction. Live chats, audience reactions, and shared moments connected creators and fans instantly, reinforcing livestreaming as an engaging, two-way community rather than passive entertainment.

For overseas Filipinos, the platform continues to offer a digital space that keeps them connected to familiar voices, traditions, and stories from home.
