The ENPRESS, with Jun Nardo as president, is a newly-formed group with breakway members of the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) as officers and members. It likes to call itself the "counterpart" of the Hollywood foreign press which gives the annual Golden Globe Awards. The PMPC has its own Star Awards (for Television and for Movies).
