We have seen a lot of new faces in the past few months (if not years) in the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. Here's the list, plus their credentials from the best of my knowledge and a bit of internet surfing:

Now if you ask me who should take the place of Bernadette Sembrano on Umagang Kay Ganda, she should be both:

*available on the mornings (unlike Toni, Tina, Jing and Jasmin, who have to be ready if ever Kabayan or Ted is absent for the DZMM morning shows)
