The Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Box-Office Entertainment Awards, better known as the GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards or simply Box-Office Entertainment Awards, is an annual award ceremony held in Metro Manila. The award-giving body honors stars and performers simply for their popularity and commercial success in the Philippine entertainment industry, regardless of their excellence in their particular fields.[1]

During the first months of each year, mostly during March or April, the Memorial Scholarship Foundation board of jurors will deliberate for the year's winners, which will be chosen from the Top 10 Philippine films of the past year, top-rating shows in Philippine television, top recording awards received by singers, and top gross receipts of concerts and performances. The list will then be released prior to the awards night, which is held during April or May.[2]

History

By the late '70s, after then President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972,[3] he turned the responsibility over to Corazon Samaniego before leaving for abroad.[4]

Corazon Samaniego, a former businesswoman in Bulacan, continued the presentation and officially inaugurated the "Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc." in 1971. The organization is named after a former Bulacan town mayor and philanthropist and her late father, Guillermo Mendoza.

At the end of the day, the proceeds from the television rights and gate receipts are used to send underprivileged Bulacan students to school.[5]
