Dubai, UAE — Award-winning filmmaker, entertainer, influencer, and host Albert Santos Gayo once again rose to the occasion as the official Emcee of the Gintong Ani (Golden Harvest) International Awards 2026, held at the prestigious Seven Seas Hotel, Dubai.
The highly anticipated awards night gathered hundreds of guests, including businessmen, influencers, artists, and community leaders, who came together to celebrate men and women of excellence from various professional fields. Honorees proudly received their plaques and trophies in recognition of their outstanding achievements and contributions.
Now on its second season and third major event—following a successful edition in Abu Dhabi—the Gintong Ani International Awards continues to strengthen its mission of honoring Filipinos who excel in their chosen fields in the UAE and beyond, many of whom had not previously received formal recognition.
As emcee, Albert Santos Gayo energized the evening with his signature charisma, humor, and stage presence. The program remained lively and engaging as he also performed musical numbers during intermissions, alternating with performances by Dr. Rommel and Richard of WCOPA, keeping the audience entertained throughout the night.
The event was organized by ARK Events, headed by Ms. Ann Agarpao and Ms. Hazel, in cooperation with R&B Events, led by Ms. Erna and Ms. Theresa.
Mr. Ramon Garcia, founder of the Gintong Ani Awards, delivered a heartfelt message sharing the humble beginnings of the initiative and his vision to recognize hardworking Filipinos in the UAE who consistently excel in their professions.
Adding depth and inspiration to the evening, distinguished guest speakers H.E. Dr. Edna Santos, Dr. Wafa Qasimeh, and Dr. Florence shared empowering insights that resonated strongly with the audience.
The successful event was made possible through the generous support of its sponsors, including Victory Travel, BPI, Index Exchange, Pinnacle, Kabayan Natural, and many others.
The Gintong Ani (Golden Harvest) International Awards once again proved to be a meaningful platform that celebrates excellence, resilience, and the global Filipino spirit
