Magandang Umaga:The ABS-CBN Tradition

There is no real record of a morning show (as we Noypis now it today) from Bolinao Corp/Bolinao Broadcasting/ABS-CBN or any Filipino broadcasting firm except for morning editions of the news programs.

The earliest known broadcast of a morning show was actually from ABS-CBN. As it returned full-blast to Philippine TV in 1986, ABS-CBN premiered its first ever morning show Magandang Umaga. Later to be renamed Magandang Umaga Po, the show had Noli de Castro and Korina Sanchez among its hosts.

Outside Manila, ABS-CBN's regional stations launched regional morning editions of TV Patrol. Eventually, morning shows among the regions began to premiere. There's Good Morning Cebu, launched by ABS-CBN Cebu in 1990. There's The Morning Show-Bacolod, launched by ABS-CBN Bacolod in 1993, now on its 18th year. There is Maayong Buntag Mindanao (Good Morning Mindanao), launched by ABS-CBN Davao in 1994, now on its 17th year.

There were other morning shows in the 1990's broadcast from Manila but were in English, not in Filipino.

As it celebrated 50 years in Philippine media and communications in June 1996, ABS-CBN broadcast the first morning show (the first of the morning shows as we know today), making it the pioneer. Hello to Alas Singko Y Medya, originally hosted by Julius Babao, Gilbert Remulla and Panjee Gonzales. Because of the popularity and novelty of ASYM, other Manila-based Tagalog morning shows began to sprout.

It was when Tintin Bersola (of TV Patrol and Sineskwela fame) took over Panjee that the love story between her and Julius blossomed. (Julius and Tintin first met as they shared anchor duties for TV Patrol.) Julius and Tintin left ASYM in 2001 to host Talk TV, but Julius returned in 2002 as main host to the reformatted ASYM, this time called Magandang Umaga Bayan, then Tintin followed in 2003. The Julius-Tintin partnership seemed to be one of the reasons the viewers watched the ABS-CBN morning show series.

More than that, viewers got themselves glued to the latest news, information, public service and entertainment as the ABS-CBN morning show series deliver in a better way.

By 2005, Magandang Umaga Bayan then gave way to Magandang Umaga Pilipinas. It was in 2005 too also that saw the change in the face of morning shows in the regions. Good Morning Cebu soon gave way to Maayong Buntag Cebu/Maayong Buntag Kapamilya. Livelier editions of The Morning Show-Bacolod and Maayong Buntag Mindanao were seen. We see launches of more regional morning shows like Gandang Umaga Kapamilya (ABS-CBN Dagupan in 2007), Naimbag Nga Morning Kapamilya (ABS-CBN Baguio in 2008), Marhay Na Aga Kapamilya (ABS-CBN Naga in 2007), Sikat Ka Iloilo (ABS-CBN Iloilo in 2006), Pamahaw Espesyal (ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro City in 2008) and Magandang Umaga Socsargen (ABS-CBN Gensan in 2009).

2007 saw the Julius-Tintin on TV gone (but still on radio DZMM) and the birth of ABS-CBN's latest morning show offering

Now we have Umagang Kay Ganda, now on its 4th year. Change in hosts and segments were inevitable but the spirit of public service to the Filipino any time of the day is still there.

My Piece of Cake: ABS-CBN Passiontide 2011

Karen Davila in "Ang Aming Mga Sala" -> DEAL

Joined Lenten recollection in our nearby parish last night. Was so surprised to hear voice of Karen Davila in the Lenten documentary Ang Aming Mga Sala, which we watched as part of the session. Brava Karen!

It was actually broadcast on ABS-CBN as part of its Passiontide 2010 programming. Nice one for the partnership of ABS-CBN and Jesuit Communications. To ABS-CBN, more JesCom specials please! :)
====
No TV Patrol on Moundy Thursday and Good Friday -> NO DEAL

Hey, ABS-CBN first did that in 2003 (its 50th TV anniversary year, the golden anniversary of Philippine TV actually) and it worked. But why not these past few years? Why oh why?

TV Patrol on Black Saturday is not enough. TV Patrol on Moundy Thursday and Good Friday must be there in the name of non-stop public service.
===
Passiontide Specials 2011 on ABS-CBN -> DEAL

More of that please next year! Here's hoping ABS-CBN churn out more specials in collaboration with JesCom, SVD Ministries and other Catholic media organizations.
===
Marathon of Shows on ABS-CBN Passiontide -> DEAL

Should be done since then. But why no second re-run of May Bukas Pa last year weeks after it ended?
===
Religious-Themed Cartoons on ABS-CBN -> DEAL

We had the Von Trapp Family Singers and even Marcelino Pan Y Vino. More of those please!
===
Special Editions of ABS-CBN Shows on Passiontide -> DEAL

We can have re-runs or special editions of the shows provided the show content is in keeping with Lent. Also, we have non-Cattholic viewers who want content that they enjoy even during Passiontide. More re-runs of ABS-CBN current affairs shows every Lent in the near future, please.
===
No Kapamilya Blockbusters on ABS-CBN Passiontide -> NO DEAL

Just one thing: are there no Lent/Easter specials or films abroad or even here for showcase? Come on!
===
Lenten Recollection on ABS-CBN Passiontide -> DEAL

Wow! THAT'S A BIG DEAL! Kapamilya, you nailed it right! That's what we need-a recollection on air for those not being able to have a recollection this season of Lent! I hope an annual Kapamilya Lenten tradition of Recollection on air starts now!
===
Last Supper Mass and Seven Last Words on ABS-CBN Passiontide -> DEAL

Dahil kung hindi I will be turned off all the more. :) And I hope Family Rosary Crusade will be simulcast from Studio 23.
===
Easter Vigil Mass on ABS-CBN Passiontide -> DEAL

IT'S REALLY THE BIGGEST DEAL MADE! For the first time I know of, ABS-CBN is telecasting the Easter Vigil Mass, the biggest and most important Mass in Christendom! This annual Kapamilya Lenten tradition of Easter Vigil Mass must start now!

Please Help Out PHL (and Even Australia, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia & Brazil)!

I am listening now to Star ng Pasko. Why you may ask of all songs Star ng Pasko?

I decided to celebrate Christmas Dec 25 onwards that is till Feb 2. My mother's folk back at Tanjay City and in parts of Negros and even in parts of the country celebrate Christmas till Feb 2. Even cities and towns in Mexico and worldwide celebrate Christmas till Feb 2. And did I forgot to say this? The Armenian Apostolic Church--a kind of Orthodox Christian Church in Armenia--will have their Christmas Day this January 19! You may even take the option of celebrating Christmas by September this year (with the rest of PHL) or as early as July (like people in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia & even Antarctica do) or August (like those in the States, especially at Yellowstone).

Also, I like the song even more than this year's ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID. Keyword:heartfelt.

Seriously speaking, this song is composed after Typhoon Ondoy, Pepeng and other storms hit PHL in the last few months of 2009 (smack into starting the Christmas season in PHL). And what a way to listen to this song than today. Besides being the feast of the Christ Child (Sto Nino in Manila, Aklan, Cebu, CDOC, nationwide), this song is so significant until now.

What a way to celebrate Christmas and welcome New Year 2011! It was the 1st time for me to celebrate the Christmas season under the rain! Sadly it is the 1st time there was such nationwide devastation due to torrential rains-the first in a Christmas season!

Calabarzon region was hard hit with such torrential rains. Reports of drowned people came from Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Southern Mindanao, Northern Mindanao and ARMM. There was one electrocuted and dozens of families displaced in Western Visayas. Parts of Western Mindanao were still submerged. A considerable number of people were killed in Eastern Visayas because of landslides. Missing people were reported as cities and capital towns of Caraga flooded days into the New Year. And I hope you were not under the rock when you got news of scores of children and even grownups in Baguio City and the rest of Cordillera rushed to hospitals due to severe chills. [Even in those places farmers lamented of frost destroying all their valuable crops and even flowers timely for St. Valentine's Day.]

And PHL is not the only one. Australia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and even Saudi Arabia had their share of Ondoy-like tragedies. Already 600 people were killed in the floods in Brazil. Sri Lanka Australia, especially the state of Queensland and the city of Brisbane, has just begun the painful part of starting over. And would you believe a Arabian desert city like Jeddah just got flooded over the weekend?

Do you remember this song? "WELL, TONIGHT, THANK GOD IT'S THEM INSTEAD OF YOU..." Now that's ironic-sadly ironic...

I agree with Ariel Rivera singing, "Sana araw-araw ay Pasko..." A challenge is being offered to us--that we may bring the Christmas spirit not only on Dec 25 but every day of the year. You may not agree with me on how Christmas is to be celebrated but you may agree with me that we bring Christmas joy and don that Christmas spirit every single day of the year. That means "for life"! It's high time we must act now. Kaya po natin bumangon mula sa trahedya ng Ondoy at Pepeng. Kaya pa rin natin ngayon!

To help our countrymen all over PHL, you can find ways by clicking on these.

The Christmas spirit does not end by 11:59pm of Dec 25. Let's make it prevalent all over the year!
