The 2020 San Miguel Corporation (SMC) - Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Annual Awards was an annual awarding ceremony honoring the individuals (athletes and officials) and organizations that made a significant impact on Philippine sports in 2019, which was led by the medalists of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games hosted by the country.[1][2][3][4]

The event is organized by the Philippine Sportswriters Association under the leadership of Eriberto "Tito" S. Talao (sports editor of the Manila Bulletin). The PSA is the oldest Philippine-based media organization, which is founded in 1949, and made up of veteran and seasoned sports scribes, section editors and columnists from print media (broadsheets and tabloids), sports news websites and social media platforms.[5]

Among the awards set to be received this year are the Athlete of the Year (Team Philippines), Lifetime Achievement Award (Efren "Bata" Reyes), President's Award (Carlos Yulo), Executive of the Year (William "Butch" Ramirez), Mr. Basketball (Thirdy Ravena), Ms. Volleyball (Sisi Rondina), Mr. Volleyball (Bryan Bagunas), Mr. Football (Stephan Schröck), Ms. Golf (Bianca Pagdanganan), National Sports Association of the Year (Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines), Major Awards, Minor Citations, Tony Siddayao Awards for Under 17 Athletes, Posthumous Recognition, Milo Junior Athletes of the Year, and the Chooks-To-Go Fan Favorite Award.[6]

There will be a new set of awards including the Ms. Basketball (Jack Danielle Aninam) and Coach of the Year (Patrick Aquino) which will be handed out starting this year.[1][7]

Three-time PSA Athlete of the Year (1999, 2001 and 2006) awardee and Philippine billiards legend Efren "Bata" Reyes, who will also set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award served as the guest speaker.[8]

Top sports officials led by PSC Chairman and Executive of the Year awardee William "Butch" Ramirez, International Olympic Committee (IOC) representative to the Philippines Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski, House Speaker and Philippine SEA Games Organizing Committee Chairman Alan Peter Cayetano, Deputy House Speaker Mikee Romero, and POC President Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino are expected to attend the occasion.[2]
