Noli de Castro, Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon anchors TV Patrol beginning Nov 8

For the first time, three respected news icons in Philippine broadcast journalism are joining forces to strengthen “TV Patrol,” ABS-CBN’s flagship newscast and the leading news program in the country for the past 23 years.

Starting Monday (Nov 8), Korina Sanchez and Noli “Kabayan” De Castro will return to television to join Ted Failon in "TV Patrol" to form the most tried and tested news team ever assembled in the history of Philippine broadcasting.

The powerhouse team, all seasoned and working broadcast journalists, is collaborating to present news that matter to Filipinos all over the world and to give back to their kapamilya viewers by strengthening the public service commitment of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs, the country's most credible news organization based on a recent study by Pulse Asia.

Failon, in his 27 years in the industry, is the “Sandigan ng Bayan” for his commitment and focus on issues up to their resolution. Sanchez, on the other hand, is the intelligent and brave “Kakampi ng Bayan,” who has reported on the biggest news in the country since she started in ABS-CBN in 1986. She also holds the distinction of being the first female main anchor of “TV Patrol.”

De Castro, "Kabayan ng Pilipino,” returns with a wider knowledge of the workings of government after his stint as vice president of the Philippines. He started making a name on radio during the Martial Law years. Kabayan is also the original anchor of “TV Patrol,” and the hard-hitting investigative show, "Magandang Gabi Bayan."

“TV Patrol” is the country's number one primetime newscast in the country with an average rating of 32.6% in September beating GMA's "24 Oras," according to Kantar Media.  When it comes to news, most Filipinos say ABS-CBN is the most credible TV network in the country as seen in the results of a Pulse Asia nationwide survey. 72% of the Filipinos believe ABS-CBN gave the most credible TV news coverage of the May 2010 elections, higher than GMA, which had only 63% believing in its credibility, and TV 5’s 32%.

In line with this development, the Kapamilya network is also beefing up its late night newscast “Bandila,” and has offered ABS-CBN news veterans Julius Babao and Karen Davila to join Ces Drilon as anchors.

Drilon, Babao, and Davila will provide deeper analysis and extended coverage of the day’s biggest news in “Bandila.”

For news that matters to every Filipino, tune in to the newscasts that stand by the truth and the good of the people. Watch Ted Failon, Korina Sanchez, and Noli De Castro in “TV Patrol," on primetime nights, as well as Ces Orena Drilon, Julius Babao, and Karen Davila in “Bandila” late evening, from Mondays to Fridays in ABS-CBN.

Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee

Just this afternoon sa Wowowee nag guest si Korina Sanchez sa Wowowee sa co-host habang in the middle ng game na Pera o Bayong ay kumanta si Willie Revillame kasama si Korina at lumabas si Senator Mar Roxas and naupo sila for few questions courtesy of Willie. Ayon kay Willie ay hiniling niya sa mga boss ng ABS-CBN na mainterview ang mga presidential candidates ng 2010 para makilala mabuti daw ng mga taong nanonood ng Wowowee kung sino sila.

This time its Mar Roxas na kung saan naging matunog na ang issue ng kasalan nila ni Korina, at nag labasan na rin ang mga balita ng engagement nila. At ngayon sa Wowowee ay nagconfirm si Korina na handa siyang magpakasal kay Mar at si Korina pa mismo ang nagsabing "Will You Marry Me" line, na kung saan ay ikinakilig ng lahat ayon din kay Korina "Kahapon, Noon at Bukas, Iyong Iyo ako" at napaluha si Mar sa saya sa nasabi ng kanyang nobya at ikinatuwa rin ni Willie.

Mula sa bali balitang kung sakaling si Mar Roxas ang maging presidente ay magiging dominate si Korina sa pamamahala ng bayan, pero ayon kay Mar na mahal na mahal niya si Korina, pero siya ang magdedesisyon kung ano pangarap niya (Mar) sa bayan ay katulad din ng pangarap ng buong bayan at iyon ang gagawin nya ay mapaganda ang kanyang pamamahala.

Inassure ni Mar sa publiko na ang magiging kasal nila ni Korina na maaaring mangyari sa 2010 o late this year ay isasapubliko nila ang announcement ng kasal nila kung kainlan at saan ito gagawin at hindi nila ito itatago sa mundo.
