Patrol ng Pillipino uncovers the fight on wage hike

Minimum-wage earners have long fought for a wage hike to help them cope with the rising cost of living. After all, the prices of transportation fare and food continue to increase as well.

Unfortunately, they lost in a battle again as the government rejected their P125 wage hike demand and gave them P22 COLA or “cost of living allowance.” 

Third Sex and Livelihood from Recycled Plastics in Patrol ng Pilipino

The freedom of choice, especially when it comes to love, is one of the most basic human rights. But what if the person you choose to love is someone of the same sex?

This is the issue faced by the gay Filipino community today. The Catholic Church may tolerate their sexual orientation, but they are still condemned for homosexual acts such as same sex marriage.

While groups like “Ang Ladlad” are fervently fighting for the rights of homosexuals, there is still much to fight for as our society remains largely conservative.  Find out the feelings and thoughts of the third sex from the report of Ryan Chua in “Patrol ng Pilipino” this Tuesday night (Mar 8).

Meanwhile, take at look at the beneficial and destructive sides to the use of plastic. Join Gretchen Malalad as she tours the city of Muntilupa, where the use of plastic was banned after Typhoon Ondoy.  While plastic was blamed for clogging the drainages and causing flood, it is also the main source of livelihood for many families there.

See all the sides of the story behind the news in “Patrol ng Pilipino” this Tuesday night (Mar 8), after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN.

Patrol ng Pilipino replaces The Correspondents on Tuesday late night news programming

They are the ones who brave crime scenes, areas in conflict, and places devastated by calamities. They sit through hearings, chase personalities for interviews, and analyze documents to make sense out of the issues in the nation. They do all these, day in and day out, to come up with stories that matter to Filipinos.

They are ABS-CBN’s band of journalists who live to tell the stories of the nation, of every Filipino. This Tuesday (Oct 26), they will let us into their world to uncover the interesting and revealing web of stories behind the news reports we see on television on “Patrol ng Pilipino.”

“Patrol ng Pilipino” (PNP) is a weekly 45-minute news documentary program that will give an in-depth look at the biggest stories aired on ABS-CBN newscasts “Umagang Kay Ganda,” “TV Patrol,” and “Bandila.”

Each week, two to three ABS-CBN reporters will revisit their reports to show unaired footage, behind-the-scene videos, extended interviews, and also new information that will reveal the bigger picture of the featured stories.

On the pilot episode of “Patrol Ng Pilipino,” Jorge Cariño will look back on his coverage of Typhoon Juan in Cagayan, where he saw with his own eyes how the province was reduced to ruins, how people there fought to survive, and how the government tried to save both lives and property.

Jeff Canoy will also zoom back to his investigative piece on child miners in Davao Oriental, and reveal more of his interaction with the kids, their families, and the authorities. Canoy will also give a glimpse of raw footage that will unearth the true emotions of the key people in the story.

Because the viewers have the right to know the truth, “Patrol Ng Pilipino” will show all angles of an issue, give face to the data and statistics, and reveal the emotions behind every report. Watch “Patrol ng Pilipino” this Tuesday (Oct 26) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN.
