When it rains, it pours.

GMA senior anchor Mike Enriquez received two awards just days apart last month.

He was recognized as one of the Most Outstanding Manilans during the 445th founding anniversary of the city of Manila where the awards were given as part of the celebration of this year’s Araw Ng Maynila.

It was in recognition of men and women whose exemplary achievements in their profession contributed to the development of the country’s capital city.

Enriquez said he was born and raised in Sta. Ana, Manila.

Then, at the end of the month, he was also recognized as Reader’s Digest’s Most Trusted Radio Presenter. This was the first time the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand gave an award to a radio personality.

The Trusted Brand Award is based on an annual survey of Reader’s Digest readers across Asia.

Enriquez expressed his appreciation for both awards saying that radio would continue to be his passion and his life. He added that the awards he continues to receive do not belong to him alone, but also to those he works with at GMA Radio and RGMA Network, which is GMA’s radio affiliate.

He co-anchors GMA’s primetime television newscast 24 Oras with Mel Tiangco and Vicky Morales. He hosts the widely popular Imbestigador every Saturday afternoon, as well as the  radio program Saksi Sa Dobol B from 6 to 10 a.m. weekdays on GMA’s flagship AM station, DZBB. 

Enriquez is also the President of RGMA Network, Inc. and GMA’s Consultant for Radio.
