The 47th Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Box-Office Entertainment Awards (GMMSF-BOEA), honored the personalities, movies and TV programs in the Philippines, and took place on April 17, 2016 at the Novotel Grand Ballroom, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City. The award-giving body honors Filipino actors, actresses and other performers' commercial success, regardless of artistic merit, in the Philippine entertainment industry. The awards night was aired on ABS-CBN's "Sunday Best" on May 1, 2016.
The GMMSF selects the high-ranking Philippine films of 2015 based on total average rankings at box-office published results (MMFF has not released the final gross tally for the 2015 edition.) as basis for awarding the three major categories in the awarding ceremonies, The Phenomenal Box Office Star, The Box-Office King and The Box Office Queen.
The deliberations were held at the Barrio Fiesta Restaurant in Greenhills, San Juan on February 20, 2016 attended by the representatives of GMMSF. An additional three more categories were introduced in the 2016 edition: the Breakthrough Male and Female Star of Philippine Movies and TV (given to Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, collectively known as the AlDub loveteam), and the Breakthrough Recording/Performing Artist. (to be given also to Richards). Vice Ganda reprises his title as the Phenomenal Box-Office Star with his other kapamilya co-stars namely Coco Martin, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo for their blockbuster movies Beauty and the Bestie and A Second Chance. Both are Star Cinema-produced.
