The Old Path (Ang Dating Daan) receives "Most Informative Program of the Year" award from indie Fil-Am award-giving body
November 20, 2006 (Apalit, Pampanga) – When Bro Eli Soriano, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) Presiding Minister, went on to start his Thanksgiving discourse last Saturday (November 18), he announced that the long-running and controversial program produced by the Church was honored the prestigious "Most Informative Religious Program Award" by an independent international award-giving body.
Bro. Eli, evident in his voice and face, looks like he is one of the happiest persons and his joy seem to beam during that very moment that if God work, who will turn it away (Isaiah 43:13). Similarly, the attendees of the Thanksgiving that Saturday afternoon erupted with shouts of happiness and clapping of hands. Some eyes misted with tears of joy. That moment was priceless and the same excitement and exuberance surely beamed around the world in the Church of God's other regional chapters who are hooked via web streaming and satellite.
It was Gawad Amerika after all, an independent award-giving body based in the USA that recognizes the achievements of Fil-Am people in the field of acting, singing, professional careers and businesses since 2001, that bestowed the award in its fourth edition to Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path).

Up to 426 new members were baptized on Friday (Nov. 17), which was a sure enough reason for the whole congregation to rejoice, celebrate and thank God. Majority of new brethren were either avid viewers or visitors of the Ang Dating Daan program and Bible Expositions held in different places worldwide via satellite and web streaming.
Because quite several times now in the Philippines, the program has been earning the ire of the censors board, believed to be influenced by some powerful groups who have hands in the government, to pester and ban the program for being truthful, assertive and authoritative in discussing religious topics and controversies grappling the modern world.
One US-based newspaper, Philippine Times in its November 16-22 edition, made mention of the honor awarded to Ang Dating Daan and noted:
"Bro. Eli Soriano is the program's host and he readily answers all doctrinal questions from A-Z, on the spot ... He explains everything and elaborates all the details so the viewers would easily understand every word in the Bible."
MCGI Vice-Presiding Minister Bro. Daniel Razon accepted the award during the Gawad Amerika ceremonies at the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood in the United States last November 18.
Since 2002, the Ang Dating Daan (www.angdatingdaan.org) online presence has been a consistent front-runner in the Philippine Web Awards with three (3) Most Popular Website Awards already tucked in its pocket. This year, Ang Dating Daan website is a finalist to compete for the best organization website award in the 9th edition of the award-giving body. Winners will be announced on December 7 this year.
Ang Dating Daan, which in 2005 celebrated its 25th year, makes it the longest-running, the most awarded and the only sensible religious program in the Philippines. The recent achievement of the Ang Dating Daan in the United States was a confirmation of the dedication, sincerity and the concern of the Members Church of God International (MCGI) and Bro. Eli Soriano to fulfill the Church's mission to share the goodwill and hope that God wants people in the world to learn and live by.
