GMA News TV International, the channel’s international counterpart, continues to carry the channel’s multi-awarded, quality programming to audiences overseas.
 

The coveted George Foster Peabody Award, a Silver World Medal at the New York Festivals, a Silver Medal at the US International Film and Video Festival, the UNICEF Asia-Pacific Child Rights Award, only Philippine finalist at the Japan Prize, the Philippine Quill Award for Excellence, the most television wins at the Catholic Mass Media Awards … these were just a few of the international and local honors that GMA News TV took home the past year, led primarily by its documentary program Reel Time and its flagship newscast State of the Nation with Jessica Soho.
 

Bayan Ko, which won the Catholic Mass Media Award for Best Drama Series, the educational seriesTitser, the popular love anthology Wagas as well as the highly praised historical docudramaKatipunan were all created by GMA News TV production teams in 2013, taking the channel beyond traditional news and current affairs programming.
 
The only show of its kind currently on Philippine TV – Investigative Documentaries, hosted by Malou Mangahas (one of Metrobank’s Journalists of the Year for 2013) – solidly follows the paper trail behind issues every week.  Investigative Documentaries assesses the performance of political clans, studies the impact of government policies and investigates corruption.

Game-changing weekend documentary programs Reel Time and Front Row have been sweeping the awards the past two years.  The documentaries tackle poverty and social ills, telling the raw stories of the subjects themselves, using no hosts or voice-overs.
 
Moreover, GMA News TV International remains to be the ultimate news source of Filipinos across the globe as it offers live telecasts of the latest news coverage and breaking news from the Philippines’ most trusted news broadcast organization, GMA News and Public Affairs.

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
