avisala! sorting this off from my draft, this was a pre-pandemic project of two news presenters from tv5 and a news producer from gma-7, welcome to our vlog !!!!!!
yes, the cat is finally out of the bag !!! i'm happy to share to all of you a project we've been finalizing in the last three months sometime between 2018 and 2019
as much as i'd like to put in details of what went through this, it was a happy process after all and looking back we never thought, mon, pat and myself could pull through this special task on top of our regular duties at work from two different newsrooms of kamuning and reliance !!!!!
we thought of this as our passion project, outside of our normal duties and it is quite appropriate that we start off by walking you through our behind-the-scenes at a day in a life of a news reporter and anchor
i've been doing behind-the-scenes work for more than a decade while mon and pat has been covering news assignments as reporter then anchor and later on i became a reporter :)
so together, for this project we combined our powers! our skills! and so we're very proud to present to you this special video, hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed the entire process of doing, glad that its still there!

-ryandgreat, one rockwell
reposting this one from my a decade ago post to honor 24 oras!, that paved way for me to become the media practitioner that i am today.
i've been following gma-7's news programs that have gone through many experiment-of-sorts in the 90's
i remember,saksi was the primetime newscast of gma-7, led by mike enriquez, karen davila and later on mel tiangco
i remember,saksi was the primetime newscast of gma-7, led by mike enriquez, karen davila and later on mel tiangco
and then in1998, mike enriquez joined the latenight newscast gma network news and its longtime news anchor vicky morales
latenight newscasts on tv are traditionally in english
but the mike-vicky tandem tried the use of taglish and later on becomes straight tagalog that also pioneered stand-up news delivery
this paved way for many innovations then,
the mike-vicky tandem in a way succeeded on the following year
the original anchor of saksi, mike enriquez returned to primetime newscast saksi, with vicky morales
and mel tiangco had her own solo newscast titled frontpage: ulat ni mel tiangco on latenight timeslot
this brought a significance change in tv news programs and the battle of latenight newscasts has never been the same since then
abs-cbn's longtime latenight newscast, the world tonight was replaced by
pulso, aksyon, balita and later came many latenight tagalog newscasts that competed with frontpage: ulat ni mel tiangco
and the ratings has improved and favored the latenight timeslot of gma-7
and i think that prompted frontpage: ulat ni mel tiangco to move to primetime and exchanged timeslot with saksi on july 2002
the tried and tested mike-vicky tandem returns to the latenight newscast fore with saksi
and at that time, saksi won a gold medal at the new york festival
on 2003, i noticed of some experiment, mike enriquez and jessico soho would normally subbed for mel tiangco
and then it wasn't too long when gma-7 put together their veteran news anchors as front line for a new primetime news program,
on 15th march 2004, exactly 10 years ago, gma-7 launched 24 oras with mel tiangco and mike enriquez as the tandem to beat
with its slogan pinakamalaking balitaan sa telebisyon
but we all knew that tv patrol was the viewers choice in the last decades!
and it's amazing how 24 oras scored and broke that stranglehold months later after its launch
this exactly was the subject matter of my college thesis,
that, well, earned a good grade and reputation
some the factor that attributed and pulled-up the ratings of 24 oras could be the inclusion of extra challenge to primetime
and that the reality-based format programs were popular then and the emerging success of fantaserye genre mulawin and encantadia
in the nielsen survey on 2004,
24 oras scored a 25.65 percent household ratings while
tv patrol's ratings is at below average of 19.8 percent
on the other hand on november 2004 tv patrol was relaunched as tv patrol world with its new anchors, karen davila and ted failon
it scored a initial ratings of 22 percent while
24 oras had 33 percent
the tandem of mike enriquez and mel tiangco is huge!
they're the veteran news presenters and known to be as the most credible broadcast journalist of gma-7
its one of the greatest advantage for the newscast
that eventually led a wide margin against tv patrol or tv patrol world
in the course of 20 years i've had an opportunity to work with pia guanio for the noontime show eat..bulaga! and eventually i became part of gma news
congratulations 24 oras! and 20 years later it feels that my study is still relevant to this day!

this was originally posted on 30th june of 2016, where i was assigned in davao city to follow the transition of the then davao mayor rodrigo duterte to becoming a philippine president, while i am contemplating on the return of the Marcos today.
and so, on june 30, du30 officially is the new head of the philippines!
if i had given the chance to vote last election, my vote is for duterte and robredo respectively!
i go for the most likely to win, that was also the way i voted in 2010 for pnoy and binay!

I Heart Cebu
I HEART CEBU
-ryandgreat, new manila, quezon city
and that opportunity happened not just once because i have visited cebu city four times in just a year!
since it's a business trip, i only had a brief tour around the city,
mostly during lunch and on our way to tv5 cebu station and back to our hotel
we stayed at the regency hotel cebu, quite near the city capitol and some establishments that are walking distance to fuente osmena
on 12th november was the launching of local version of radyo5 newsfm in cebu,
local radio arm of tv5 manila
with a live broadcast of some tv5 news programs, punto asintado, t3 and aksyon primetime from cebu
also on the same street is the basilica of Santo Nino, one of the oldest catholic church
cebu city has it's own fort santiago, the fort san pedro located at the plaza independencia,
just like fort santiago in manila that's surrounded by walls but here is too small, with a garden and museum inside
the transportation around cebu city is accesible mostly to jeepneys and taxi
it's highly urbanized district, with big shopping malls and business centeres around the city,
but unlike in manila, the traffic situation in cebu is somewhat manageable
it's urban but in a probinsiya feels with its historical and heritage sites around the city
those are my reasons why i most definitely love cebu city!
it's always my dream local destination and time and again, i look forward to visit either for work or for pleasure!
til' next time! daghang salamat cebu city!
-ryandgreat, new manila, quezon city
to this day, there's no place in the philippines that i'd love visit than cebu city!

immediately following my last leg of work,
we headed again to cebu for another round of work, this time with maricel halili and my team (my first time to work with maricel halili outside manila)
there was a political crisis in cebu, few days before christmas
cebu governor gwen garcia was suspended by malacanan and vice governor agnes magpale sworn in as acting governor
this caused a lot of tension in the capitol of cebu!
as supporters of both party stayed outside while the suspended governor also stayed in her office to express her resistance in the order of suspension
