OF GMA DAGUPAN NEWS ANCHOR - BALITANG AMIANAN

A Kapuso Magazine exclusive one-on-one.

Kapuso Magazine (KM): How would you describe your job as Balitang Amianan’s anchor?

My job as an anchor is a very exciting and challenging one. Exciting in the sense that we get to know everything that’s happening; more often we are the “first ones to know.” And we get the privilege to tell others what we know or find out. This is where the challenge comes in – we are bound to deliver the truth but sometimes some people are not happy about that truth.

KM: What is the most difficult part of your job as anchor?

Why? Information gathering is as tedious as its dissemination.

That makes my job difficult. I cannot just go on air with the bare necessities. We have to know more and understand the news deeper than what we see on the script because we have to have conviction and belief in what we are saying. And as I’ve said earlier, its difficult to tell the truth especially if others will get “hurt” in the process.

KM: How do you spend your free time?

I play badminton, watch TV and read books. I go out with my kids when I’m in Ilocos.

ABOUT CJ AGE: 36 years old (October 6, 1976) BIRTHPLACE: Allacapan, Cagayan (Cagayan Valley) EDUCATION: Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications (Divine Word College - Laoag City) FIRST JOB: Reporter/Announcer of RGMA Super Radyo Laoag in 1997

KM: Why do you think Balitang Amianan is preferred by viewers in Pangasinan and other areas?

They get the freshest news in the region as they happen, complete with facts and without any biases delivered to them in a fast paced manner. With this, Balitang Amianan gained the trust and the hearts of Pangasinenses as well as our viewers from Baguio, La Union, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.

GMA KAPUSO MAGAZINE |JUNE 2013 ISSUE

Atty. Felipe L. Gozon’s Message at the GMA Family Day Lahat halos ng ating business segments ay tumaas ang kita. Ang ating International business ay mas mataas ng 3% kaysa last year. Ang Radio naman ay up by 38% versus last year. At ang revenues ng Regional TV ay mas malaki ng 78% kaysa noong 2012.

Following is Atty. Felipe L. Gozon’s speech at the GMA Family Day held on June 15 at the Enchanted Kingdom: Isang masayang umaga sa inyong lahat mga Kapuso!

Tulad ng ating nakasanayan na, magkakasama na naman tayo rito sa Enchanted Kingdom para sa ating taunang Kapuso Family Day. Talaga namang there is no better way to celebrate than with our family and loved ones.

As of the first quarter 2013, nagtala ang ABS-CBN ng gross revenues na P6.3 billion – kung aalisin ang Sky Cable.

Ang GMA naman ay may P3.24 billion gross revenues sa nasabing panahon.

Magkagayon man, mas mababa naman ang net income ng ABS-CBN kumpara sa atin – umabot lamang sa P508 million ang kanilang kita samantalang P603 million ang sa atin. Ang Pol Ads ng ABS-CBN ay

Nagagalak akong i-report na patuloy ang magandang itinatakbo ng financial performance ng ating kumpanya mula Enero hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

From January to May 2013, ang ating gross revenues ay mas mataas ng 20% kumpara noong nakaraang taon. Ang ating net income naman ay mas malaki ng 25% percent versus the same period noong 2012. Ang maganda rito, di hamak na mas malaki ang contribution ng regular advertisements natin kaysa Pol Ads na 12% lang ng ating gross revenues for the period.

Sa PHINTAM, ang ABS-CBN ay mas mataas ng 11.2 percent sa total household audience share.

Kaya’t bagama’t nananatili tayong angat sa ABS-CBN, sa Urban Luzon ay lumiliit ang ating lamang. Sa nasabing period, 35 percent ang naitala nating average total day household audience share, angat lamang ng 1.9 percent sa ABSCBN. Kung bibilangin ang dami ng manonood, lamang tayo ng mahigit 245,000 viewers sa ABS-CBN sa Urban Luzon.

Pagdating naman sa balwarte nating Mega Manila, nagtala tayo ng 36.2 percent average audience share na mas mataas lamang ng 4.7 percent sa ABS-CBN. Ibig sabihin, halos 480,000 viewers ang lamang natin sa kalaban.

Ipinagdiriwang din natin ngayong Hunyo ang ika-63rd year ng ating Kapuso Network kaya happy anniversary sa ating lahat!

Noong nakaraang buwan ay humarap kami sa mga analysts at press upang iulat ang naging performance ng ating kumpanya noong first quarter ng 2013. Maliban sa TV ratings na aking tatalakayin mamaya, pawang magagandang balita ang binanggit namin sa nasabing performance briefing.

Sa NUTAM, 31.1 percent ang naitala nating average total day household share. Mas mababa ito ng 6.1 percent sa ABS-CBN.

umabot sa P258 million noong first quarter, samantalang P225 million naman ang Pol Ads ng GMA in the same period.

Mahalagang ma-sustain natin ang lakas ng ating financial performance sa mga susunod na buwan upang makamit natin ang target natin sa taong ito. Dapat nating isaisip na ang performance ng isang grupo sa atin ay nakakaapekto sa performance ng iba pang internal groups. Full synergy ang kailangan – palagi ko iyang sinasabi. Puspusan ang pagpapaganda ng ETV at NPA sa ating mga programa. At napakasipag naman ng ating GMPI na magbenta ng ating mga shows. Sa patuloy nating pagtutulungan, naniniwala ako na mapapalago natin ang ating negosyo.

Ngayong June lamang ay anim na shows na ang inilunsad natin. At isa sa pinag-uusapang programa ngayon sa mga dyaryo, at maging sa internet at social media ay ang primetime soap nating My Husband’s Lover. Umaasa akong magiging maganda ang performance nito sa ratings maging ng iba pang bagong programa natin para maka-recover tayo sa NUTAM. Bago ako tumungo sa ibang topic ay nais kong i-congratulate ang GMA News and Public Affairs sa kanilang matagumpay na Eleksyon 2013 coverage. Mas mataas ang ratings ng ating coverage sa NUTAM

Speaking of ratings, narito ang datos galing sa Nielsen TV audience measurement covering June 1 to June 12, 2013:

kaysa ABS-CBN noong hapon ng May 13 (GMA – 11.4% at ABS – 10.7%), hanggang sa pumasok na ang mga partial at unofficial results noong gabi (GMA – 15.1% at ABS – 9.1%).

Lumamang din ang ating coverage noong magdamagan ng May 14 (GMA – 2.7% at ABS – 1.2%) hanggang umaga ng parehong araw (GMA – 10.5% at ABS – 9.9%). Nais ko ring batiin ang programang Reel Time ng GMA News TV sa pagwawagi nila ng ikatlong Peabody Award para sa GMA Network at sa buong bansa.

Sa regional naman, ginanap ang inauguration ng ating originating station na may kumpletong studio facilities sa Cagayan De Oro noong Enero. Malaki ang papel nito sa pagpapalakas ng ating presence sa Northern Mindanao.

Sa kabuuan, mayroon na tayong originating stations sa Ilocos, Dagupan, Bicol, Iloilo, Cebu, Davao at Cagayan De Oro. May satellite TV stations din tayo sa Bacolod at General Santos.

Tuluy-tuloy ang pagpapalakas natin ng ating signal sa regional areas. Nagtayo tayo ng VHF TV relay station sa Mt. Bintacan sa Sorsogon para lumakas ang signal natin sa mga probinsya ng Sorsogon, Albay, Catanduanes at Masbate. Nag-increase din tayo ng power sa mga sumusunod na lugar upang maging superior ang signal at coverage natin kaysa ABS-CBN: TV-5 Mt. Amuyao sa Mountain Province (mula 5 kilowatts ay naging 10 kilowatts), TV-12 Puerto Prinsesa (mula 1 kilowatt ay naging 5 kilowatts) at sa TV-7 Tablas, Romblon (mula 1 kilowatt ay naging 10 kilowatts) na matatapos ngayong July.

Samantala, patuloy naman ang paglago ng ating International business at hindi humihinto ang

pagdami ng manonood ng ating channels na GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV at GMA News TV International.

Umabot na sa 1.2 million ang viewers worldwide ng GMA Pinoy TV as of May 2013. Ang GMA Life TV naman ay mayroong 337,000 viewers sa buong mundo.

Kamakailan lang ay inilunsad ang GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV at GMA News TV International sa Palau National Communications Corp, MyHD at ABN Malaysia. Inilunsad din ang GMA Life TV at GMA News TV International sa Sing Tel. Ang GMA News TV International ay nasa Bell Fibe na rin.

Ang maliit na pangsamantalang bawas sa subscribers ng ating int’l channels ay dahil sa pagpalit natin ng carrier sa Middle East/Europe from OSN to MyHD-Sawa.

By the way, hinihikayat ko kayong panoorin ang Dance of the Steel Bars, starring Dingdong Dantes, na palabas ngayon sa mga sinehan. Ito ay sa direksyon ng ating News and Public Affairs reporter na si Cesar Apolinario. Co-director n’ya si Marnie Manicad na misis ni Jiggy. Ang iba pang upcoming film projects ng GMA Films ay ang My Lady Boss na pinangungunahan nina Marian Rivera at Richard Gutierrez at ang horror film na Basement, tampok sina Louise Delos Reyes, Kristoffer Martin, etc.

H’wag din natin kalimutang suportahan ang Barangay LS 97.1 at mga programa at talents nating kasali sa Yahoo OMG Awards – bumoto tayo online araw-araw nang mamayagpag ang ating mga Kapuso.

projects natin.

Kamakailan lang ay tumulong ang GMA GIVES volunteers sa GMA Kapuso Foundation sa pag-construct ng Kapuso Multi-Purpose Hall sa Angono Elementary School. Sabi ng ating mga kaGIVES, masaya ang activity kahit na nakakapagod.

Sa pagtatapos, bagama’t challenging ang mga susunod na buwan para sa atin, mahalaga ring magkaroon tayo ng panahon para mag-relax at mag-bonding kasama ang ating pamilya at mga kasama sa trabaho. Kaya sa araw na ito, mag-enjoy tayong lahat sapagkat ganyan ang buhay nating mga Kapuso, masisipag tayo at mapursigi pagdating sa trabaho ngunit marunong din namang mag-enjoy at magrelax.

At para lalong sumaya ang ating family outing, nagagalak akong i-announce na magbibigay tayo ng mid-year bonus ngayong buwan equal to one month salary across the board.

Maraming salamat, happy 63rd Anniversary at magandang umagang muli sa inyong lahat, mga Kapuso!

Gusto ko ring hikayatin kayong sumali sa volunteer group nating GMA GIVES at makibahagi sa mga CSR

GMA G.I.V.E.S. Starts the Month of June the Kapuso Way:

Helping Build the Kapuso Multi-Purpose Center

GMA Network’s Corporate Affairs organized a build activity at the Angono Elementary School in Rizal with the network’s pool of employee/talent-volunteers, the GMA GIVES (Guide, Interact, Volunteer, Educate, Serve) on 01 June 2013.

It was a day of fun and camaraderie as members of the GMA GIVES helped the GMA Kapuso Foundation finish the construction of the latter’s Kapuso Multi-Purpose Hall, which is being built under the Kapuso School Development Program.

The municipality of Rizal is prone to excessive flooding owing to its location along the shores of Laguna Lake. In fact, it was one of the hardest hit areas during Typhoon Ondoy in 2009 and the unusual nasty northwest monsoon (habagat)

that hit in 2012. The GMAKF conducted an ocular inspection at that time and decided that the best way to help was by building a multi-purpose hall. This hall is envisioned to double as an evacuation site, when needed.

This is the first volunteer activity for the year for GMA GIVES. Says Ma Teresa L. Pacis, AVP, Corporate Affairs, “This specific activity is one way that we can synergize with the Kapuso Foundation.

Being under one network, it is important that we support each other. The Kapuso School Development Program is among the flagship programs of the Kapuso Foundation and our GMA GIVES are more than happy to lend a helping hand.”

Some 50 volunteers, including Kapuso artists Mike Tan and Arni Ross, joined the day’s activity. Equipped with work gloves and simple construction tools, the volunteers did concreting, masonry and

painting work. GMA GIVES (often called ka-GIVES), were excited to waterproof the watch catchment tank, lay hollow blocks at the stage and façade areas, plaster the stage and even paint the masonry wall.
