Beginning today, Balitanghali, GMA Integrated News’ award-winning newscast on GTV, further strengthens its commitment to delivering timely and relevant news as it moves to a longer and earlier timeslot.
Anchored by seasoned broadcast journalists Connie Sison and Raffy Tima, Balitanghali now airs a full hour of the latest and the biggest developing news from Monday to Friday at 10:00 a.m.
Joining Connie and Raffy is “Mare, Ano’ng Latest” segment host and entertainment reporter Aubrey Carampel for the hottest showbiz news and lifestyle features.
Fortifying Balitanghali is “Regional TV News,” which brings to the fore the most relevant and timely stories from the different regions in the country. Hosting this segment are veteran broadcast journalists Cris Zuñiga of GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon, Cecille Quibod-Castro of GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak, and Sarah Hilomen-Velasco of GMA Regional TV One Mindanao.
Connie Sison underscores Balitanghali’s public service for almost two decades: “For almost 19 years, Balitanghali has been with our viewers. Rest assured of our continued efforts to deliver to you, our loyal viewers, all the important events from every corner of the world, with the full force of GMA Integrated News.”
“With the integration of ‘Regional TV News’ in Balitanghali, viewers can expect reports on local issues and stories that directly impact communities across the Philippines. This is a testament to GMA Integrated News’ ‘Mas malaking misyon, mas malawak na paglilingkod sa bayan.’ It underscores our duty to serve Filipinos wherever they may be, highlighting that ‘Local News Matters,’ and ensuring that Filipinos are well-informed about what matters most in their local community,” said GMA Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
Raffy Tima reechoes this commitment: “In the continued delivery of news by Balitanghali, you will witness a stronger and broader coverage from more news teams scattered throughout the country. This is part of not only our desire to provide accurate information to viewers but also news that the public can use in their decision-making. This is our broader mission.”
Balitanghali airs on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. on GTV and is simulcast on digital channel Pinoy Hits. Kapuso abroad can watch the newscast on the Network’s international channel, GMA News TV.
