Meanwhile, the Anak TV Seal, which is a seal of good housekeeping on Philippine television, was awarded to programs deemed “wholesome” and “generally child-safe” by the jurors. Among the Kapamilya programs recognized this year are “Animazing Tales,” “Be Careful With My Heart,” “I Got It,” “Matanglawin,” “Ni Hao Kailan,” “Salamat Dok,” “Wansapanataym,” and “Why Not.”
