7th VP Choice Awards Introduces the PIPOL Special Editorial Awards
The energy of the PIPOL continues to shape the spirit of the VP Choice Awards, and this year, that same energy receives an even bigger spotlight.
First launched in November last year by RED Entertainment, PIPOL mgZn boldly positions itself as a platform for the new generation. Moreover, as the sister publication of Village Pipol Magazine, the digital magazine focuses on voices, personalities, and stories that resonate strongly with Generation Z.
Through its vibrant editorial direction, PIPOL mgZn continues to present diverse digital covers and compelling narratives. At the same time, the publication highlights Gen Z personalities whose journeys inspire the PIPOL while reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of pop culture and entertainment.
As the 7th VP Choice Awards continues to grow, the publication takes another exciting step forward. Aside from the PIPOL Face of the Year and Sexiest of the Year awards set to be presented during the 7th VPCA Gala and Awards Night on April 29, 2026, PIPOL mgZn now introduces the PIPOL Special Editorial Awards.
This new set of recognitions celebrates individuals, fandoms, and communities who actively contributed to the excitement and impact of this year’s VP Choice Awards season.
Under the leadership of Managing Director Inyi Yruma, the editorial team of PIPOL mgZn closely follows the entire VPCA journey. Through this initiative, the publication recognizes the people and communities who helped elevate the awards beyond popularity and into a celebration of participation, support, and shared passion.
“Honoring the PIPOL, who are the heart of the VP Choice Awards, is the main reason behind these editorial awards,” said Yruma.
“At the same time, we want to recognize the individuals and groups who go the extra mile to support and participate in making VPCA a success each year.”
For the 7th VP Choice Awards, PIPOL mgZn introduces four special editorial recognitions that highlight engagement, dedication, influence, and emerging talent within the VPCA community.
The PIPOL Editorial Awards
The Stan Powerhouse Award recognizes the fandom that demonstrated a strong online engagement during the 7th VP Choice Awards season. From reacting and sharing posts to actively commenting across content from VP Choice Awards, Village Pipol, and PIPOL mgZn, this fandom/group proved that collective passion and dedication can elevate their favorite nominees and amplify conversations across digital platforms.

The Campaign Champion Award honors a nominee who fully embraced the VPCA journey by promoting their nomination and encouraging supporters to participate in the voting process. Beyond promotion, the award celebrates humility, enthusiasm, and genuine appreciation for supporters who stand behind the artist throughout the awards season.

The Stan for Good Award highlights the power of fandom or group support that extends beyond the awards stage. Through the partnership between the 7th VP Choice Awards and PAWS Philippines, this recognition goes to the nominee whose supporters generated the highest number of Facebook Stars. Through this effort, fans successfully turned their enthusiasm into meaningful contributions supporting animal welfare advocacy.

The Stan MVP Award, presented by PIPOL mgZn, recognizes the most active supporter within the VP Choice Awards community. This award celebrates a fan who consistently engages with VPCA content through reactions, shares, and conversations, demonstrating remarkable dedication and unwavering support for both the nominees and the awards platform.

The 7th VPCA Gala and Awards Night
All these recognitions will be presented during the 7th VP Choice Awards Gala and Red Carpet Night on April 29, 2026, alongside VPCA’s special honors such as PIPOL of the Year and Headliner for Entertainment.
More than just additional awards, the PIPOL Special Editorial Awards celebrate the vibrant community that powers the VP Choice Awards. From passionate fandoms to dedicated supporters and rising talents, these recognitions shine a spotlight on people who continuously bring life, energy, and meaning to the VPCA platform.
