For its socially relevant content, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) presented InterAksyon.com with the Interactive Media Award at the 2011 Migration Advocacy and Media Awards. The news portal was cited for its article "Highlights and Lowlights: 38 Years of Pinoys Abroad" where Joseph Holandes Ubalde discussed the issues of labor migration in the Philippines since the global oil crisis of the 1970's, and how it forced thousands of Filipinos to find work overseas. The MAM Awards aim to raise public awareness on issues regarding Filipino migration,  where only seven media works were chosen from 64 official entries in different categories.
