Mariz Umali is officially part of the Unang Hirit barkada!

Multi-talented Kapuso broadcast journalist Mariz Umali has officially joined the country’s longest running morning show Unang Hirit (UH).

The newest UH barkada shares her excitement in joining the award-winning Kapuso morning show. “Noong una, hindi ako makapaniwala. Hindi ko rin talaga naisip na mapupunta ako dito kasi ‘yung mundo ko puro balita lang - kaya hindi ko na-imagine na makukuha ako rito. Pero noong sinabi sa akin ng mga boss na magiging part na ako ng Unang Hirit barkada, I am very grateful kasi siyempre ang hosts and anchors ng UH ay matagal ko nang mga kaibigan - and this time makakasama ko na sila sa isang programa kaya ang saya lang talaga,” Mariz said.

Mariz has been a Kapuso for 17 years already, joining GMA Network right after getting her BA Broadcast Communication degree from the University of the Philippines Diliman. She anchored and hosted several GMA and GMA News TV shows and specials such as Balitanghali Weekend, Pamana: Saving Our Heritage, Brigada, News TV Live, Kape at Balita, Born to be Wild, and iWitness, among others.

She was recently named as Best Female Field Reporter at the 2019 Gawad Tanglaw. Throughout her career, her most memorable coverage was the Double Canonization of St. John Paul II and St. John XXIII in Vatican. Mariz is a veteran of hard news reporting, having been stationed to the Malacanang and PNP beats.

“I love that I am able to help other people through the stories that we do, na kahit hindi ako personal na makapagbigay ng tulong sa kanila, nailalapit ko sila sa agencies na makakatulong sa kanila. In a sense, feeling ko calling din ito or vocation. I’ve been doing this for the past 17 years since pagka-graduate ko,” explained Mariz.

In Unang Hirit, the Kapuso viewers will also get to see a different side of Mariz, far from the serious reporter or anchor they see when she delivers the news.

“Dito, talagang mas lalabas ang tunay na personality ko kasi ang hindi alam ng mga manunuod natin ay sa kabila ng seryosong mukha ko sa pagbabalita ay talagang bungisngis ako. Ako ang taga-tawa sa mga joke ng mga tao—kahit corny tinatawanan ko. And hindi rin nila alam na sobrang mahilig akong kumanta at sumayaw,” Mariz shared.

Though it will be a big change from her field reporting life, Mariz is more than ready and looking forward to starting her weekdays with the UH barkada.

“May adjustment kasi kailangan kong gumising before 4 a.m. para maaga ako sa UH. But I look forward to starting my day with the UH barkada, and of course, our viewers - at makapaghatid ng balita sa kanila, umaga pa lang,” she said.

When she’s not in the field looking for news, Mariz is actively serving the church at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Shrine. She also loves to go scuba diving, watching movies, traveling, and singing with her husband and GMA co-broadcast journalistRaffy Tima.

Catch Mariz Umali in Unang Hirit together with the rest of the UH barkada—Arnold Clavio, Rhea Santos, Ivan Mayrina, Susan Enriquez, Connie Sison, Suzi Abrera,Lyn Ching-Pascual, Lhar Santiago, Love Añover, and Luane Dy, as well asNathaniel “Mang Tani” Cruz, Atty. Gaby Concepcion, and Mareng Winnie Monsod—from Monday to Friday, 4:55 a.m., on GMA-7.

Viewers abroad can also catch Unang Hirit on GMA’s flagship international channel,GMA Pinoy TV. For the program guide, visit www.gmapinoytv.com. (30)

GMA Network receives Diamond Creator Award for reaching 10 million YouTube subscribers

Leading media conglomerate GMA Network celebrates another milestone as the GMA Entertainment channel recently surpassed 10 million subscribers on YouTube, thus joining an elite group of content creators in Southeast Asia that have also achieved such a feat.

With this accomplishment, the Network formally received on July 23 the Diamond Creator Award, a recognition given by YouTube to content creators that have reached 10 million subscribers. Present in the ceremonial turnover were GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon; President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr.; Executive Committee Vice Chairman Joel G. Jimenez; Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong; GMA New Media, Inc. (NMI) President and COO Judd Gallares; and GMA NMI Senior Vice President and General Manager Dennis Caharian. The Diamond Play Button was awarded by YouTube’s Southeast Asia Director of Content Partnerships and Business Development Vishal Sarin, and Content Partnerships Philippines Country Lead Pablo Mendoza.

Through NMI, the Network’s technology arm, GMA forged a partnership with YouTube dubbed the YouTube Player for Publishers (“YT PfP”) in mid-2017 that has enabled viewers everywhere to watch official, full episodes of GMA programs online. The partnership not only supports the anti-piracy efforts of GMA Network, but more significantly addresses the millennial video viewing habits that demand access to premium content when they want, wherever they may be. The YT PfP partnership was an enabler for GMA as it aided strategy for boosting YouTube views and hastening the acquisition of subscribers. It also allowed for a more robust content archive that used to only house show highlights, recaps, behind-the-scene videos, among others.

From only 1.6 million subscribers at the start of the YT PfP agreement in June 2017, this soared past 10 million in May this year. As of December 2018, the GMA Network YouTube channel’s rank improved from being in the Top 200 in 2017 to being among the Top 50 worldwide.

“We are very gratified that GMA has reached quite an achievement and it is translated into about four times growth [in watch time] year-on-year so that’s enough reason for us to be really happy. This is the work of many people and they are all here as we receive this Diamond Creator Award,” said Gozon.

Meanwhile, YouTube’s Sarin said, “We congratulate GMA for growing their channel to more than 10 million subscribers. This is a great milestone as there are only five media networks in Southeast Asia that have received the Diamond Creator Award and GMA is one of them.”

Of the achievement, Gallares shared, “Our mandate is to lead GMA’s transformation from a media and entertainment giant into a dominant multi-platform content provider worldwide. YouTube has in recent years been a strategic ally in this regard, as it has not only helped us expand GMA’s online footprint but it has also been key to building preference for the GMA brand. This recognition affirms that we are on track.”

Caharian further added that they were just showcasing the output of GMA Entertainment and how they help in making sure that their content can also be discovered online. “At the end of the day, what attracts a lot of viewers is still the quality of the content, so congratulations to GMA Entertainment. We’d also like to thank the viewers for their support, and we’d like them to know that many projects are in the pipeline for more viewing fun.”

Since its launch in November 2006, the GMA Entertainment channel now has 11.8 billion lifetime views. Total subscribers are currently at 11.1 million, a million more in a span of less than three months.

Other Kapuso YouTube channels include GMA News for daily video clips from the Network’s news programs, now with 4.1 million subscribers; GMA Public Affairs for documentaries, docudrama, and news magazine shows, now with 6.1 million subscribers; GMA Playlist for heartfelt song renditions from various Kapuso stars; GMA Playground for some of the Network’s child-friendly programs; and GMA Regional TV for the top stories from the regions.

Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika Returns for its 15th Season on GMA Pinoy TV

Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika host Atty. Lou Tancinco (2nd from left) and GMA International First VP and Head Joseph Francia (2nd from right) with program co-host Eric Quizon (left) and GMA International AVP & Programming Head Cheri Domingo (right).

The 15th season of Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika (Into the Hearts of the Filipinos in America) is set to unveil more informative and fun-filled segments to its loyal viewers beginning June 9, 4:30 p.m. (PST) on GMA Pinoy TV.

This season’s theme “Truth, Resilience, and Family Unity: Filipinos’ Resolve to Attain Family Reunification Amidst Tightening Immigration Policies” is prompted by the current US administration’s stricter immigration policies and changes in guidelines in the immigration system which makes reunification of families even more challenging. It is hosted by immigration lawyer Atty. Lou Tancinco and Filipino actor Eric Quizon.

The 30-minute talk show will explain the ins, outs, and in-betweens of immigration law. It will also discuss the “invisible wall” that impacts immigrants from obtaining their visas, delays in processing of visa petitions, children adoptions, child status protection act, marriages and report updates on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), temporary working visa, and path to naturalization, among others. It will utilize dramatizations, animations, graphics, and engaging discussion to keep viewers informed as well as entertained.

“Since we launched in 2006, we were able to educate Filipino immigrants with the right way of processing their visas. Now, we are actually seeing empowerment among them and we aim to continue that this season. The theme is for Filipinos who recently migrated to the US because of family and how to address the challenges that come with that. We also have to do our job well in trying to impart to the viewers what is real news as opposed to fake news,” says Atty. Tancinco.

“I actually learn a lot from the show. I have siblings and family in the United States,natutulungan sila ng program. And ako, marami rin akong natutunan, not just terminologies but international laws and immigration laws. Lalo na ngayon na palaging may bagong law na kailangang i-implement and our Kapuso abroad should know what’s happening,” adds Quizon.

Through its decade and a half on air, Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika has been honored with several awards including the Best Television Journalism Award from the Migration Advocacy in Media Award, and the Telly Awards for Information for the episode about DACA both in 2013. It was also given the New America Media’s Award for Outstanding Reporting on Civil Liberties Issues in Ethic Communities and the 2014 Telly Award for Documentary for the episode devoted to Typhoon Haiyan and the immigration benefits available to its victims and for its segment on photojournalist Rick Rocamora’s coverage. In 2018, the show was also nominated for NAMIC Vision Award in the foreign language category for its segment “Iba Ang Pinoy” featuring the sad and triumphant story of a Filipino deportee.

Itong pagpirma natin ulit with Atty. Lou ay parang renewal of vows. Noong kami ay nag-uusap noong 2005, bagong launch pa lang ang GMA Pinoy TV, ay nagpakita na ng tiwala sa atin si Atty. Lou. Ang Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika ay napakahalagang programa para sa ating mga Kapuso abroad na nangangailangan ng gabay, impormasyon, at minsan ay kakwentuhan lamang tungkol sa kanilang mga tanong at concerns sa kanilang pagtira sa Amerika. So over the years, nakita namin kung gaano minahal at sinuportahan ng ating mga Kapuso na nanunuod sa GMA Pinoy TV itong programa,” shares GMA’s First Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia.

Host Atty. Lou Tancinco is a San Francisco-based immigration lawyer who had successfully represented thousands of Filipinos with their immigration cases for over 27 years now. An advocate for immigrants’ rights for the underserved population, she also co-founded and led the 20-year-old non-profit organization Bayanihan Equity Center a.k.a. San Francisco Veterans Equity Center that advocated, served, and continues to honor Filipino World War II veterans while writing weekly immigration columns.

Meanwhile, co-host Eric Quizon is a Filipino television and movie actor, director, producer, and writer. He has been with the show for eight seasons already.

Pusong Pinoy sa Amerika Season 15 will premiere on June 9, 2019, at 4:30 p.m. (PST) and every Sunday thereafter on GMA Pinoy TV. (30)
