The OMG! Awards is the first of its kind purple carpet event that will recognize the most-searched celebrities on its newest and leading entertainment property in the Philippines.

OMG! Philippines from June 14 to 18, 2011.

Although the event started 2-hours late, numerous OMG (overly magnificent guests) attended the event to perform, present and accept the awards.
