“Tonight, we proudly honor our distinguished award recipients—Felipe Gómez, Linda Hernández, Ivonne Solla, and Raymond Arrieta—for their outstanding contributions to our community and the television industry. Congratulations on your well-deserved recognition,” stated Víctor Montilla, Regional Vice President of Puerto Rico for the NATAS Suncoast Chapter.

The evening also marked a significant milestone: the 25th anniversary of Puerto Rico’s inclusion in the NATAS Suncoast Chapter, highlighting a quarter-century of excellence in television throughout the region.
