UNTV 37’s media support for Philhealth programs cited
April 10, 2008
UNTV 37, the Philippines’ undisputed public service-based channel, was cited for its support in promoting Philhealth programs by the government.
The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation awarded the Philhealth Media Partner Award to UNTV this year “in recognition of the channel’s role in the dissemination of information regarding the programs of Philhealth.
UNTV Station Manager Jay Sonza received the award and thanked Philhealth for recognizing the efforts of UNTV to deliver public service by way of useful and timely information.
He added, other services are also being given free of charge to the public with the flagship program hosted by radio and TV broadcast personality Mr. Daniel Razon, “Good Morning Kuya.” These services include free medical services, legal services, free bus rides, and even job search assistance and many others. This is in line with the station’s avowed mission to be the country’s truly public service channel.
Philhealth representatives have been frequent guests of Kaagapay, a public information program aired daily on UNTV 37 from 7 to 8 in the evening, hosted by Rolly “Lakay” Gonzalez, Annie Rentoy and Dr. Mandy Saguin. In one of the episodes of the said show, a Philhealth representative expressed the institution’s gratitude for increasing awareness of Philhealth’s programs to its members.
Aside from “Kaagapay” and “Good Morning Kuya,” UNTV 37 now also offers a slate of new programs designed to disseminate factual information as well as news analysis designed to educate television viewers. These programs are “Bahala si Bitag” hosted by hard-hitting TV investigative journalist Ben Tulfo, and “Ito ang Balita” anchored by Jay Sonza and Candace Giron.
