Jorge Cariño Works as MMDA Gutter Cleaner for ‘Krusada’

Jorge Cariño Works as MMDA Gutter Cleaner for ‘Krusada’


Jorge Cariño will clean street gutters and sewers for the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to experience how it is to live on minimum wage in “Krusada” tomorrow (May 3).

Jorge will show how many impoverished Filipinos struggle everyday by taking on the duties of a MMDA ‘kaminero’ or gutter cleaner and observing firsthand laborers in a steel factory.

Their job seems really easy but if you were in their shoes, you’d have to be extra diligent and persevering,” said Jorge about his experience.

Join him as he discovers how workers are able to cope with the spiraling costs of basic commodities and provide for their families’ needs such as tuition fees and electricity and water bills.

A laborer for a private company earns a minimum wage of P426 a day. Is this enough to sustain a proper family life?

Because it takes more than words to take a stand, watch “Krusada,” the 2012 New York Festivals Bronze World Medalist in the Social Issues/Current Events category tomorrow (May 3) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or watch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26), 9:15 p.m.

In a rare opportunity, Insider will show what actually happens at the ‘Balikatan’ (shoulder-to-shoulder) 2012 between the US and Philippine troops held recently in an exclusive, insider story by TV5 news operations head DJ Sta. Ana this Thursday (May 3) on TV5 and Aksyon TV.

Join DJ and the Insider team as they brave the mountains of Tarlac and Palawan with the Hawaiian National Guards, US and Philippine Marines and Armed Forces of the Philippines to cover every aspect of the military exercise between the two countries.

This 10-day joint exercise involved military drills, civic action, humanitarian assistance and disaster response (HA/DR) work involving US and Philippine troops.

The mock search and rescue operations provided an exhilarating and awesome thrill for audiences as the troops encounter different challenges on trail. The Marines even showed high tech equipment and heavy machineries that they use on a daily basis with DJ even getting hands-on to some of these tools.

Taking advantage of this exclusive, first-hand coverage special to NEWS5, DJ gets to experience living like one of the troops in camps, running beside the military encounter in Palawan and witness how to rescue hostages during a time of crisis.

With over 20 years of extensive experience in the broadcast industry, the news executive is in-charge of the organization’s development and expansion of news-gathering and TV coverage.

ANC Resumes Live and Uninterrupted Impeachment Coverage ‘Chief Justice on Trial’

ANC Resumes Live and Uninterrupted Impeachment Coverage ‘Chief Justice on Trial’


As the search for truth and justice continues, ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) resumes the country’s most comprehensive and uninterrupted live coverage of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment trial in “Chief Justice on Trial: The ANC Coverage” starting on Monday (May 7) at 1 p.m.

ANC’s marathon coverage will be led by seasoned anchors Tony Velasquez, Lynda Jumilla, Karen Davila, and Atty. Adel Tamano and will be beefed up with relevant analysis and discussions, commentaries and interviews, and language interpreters for the Deaf community.

Recognized for its blow-by-blow coverage on the nation’s biggest and most significant news events, ANC has been a byword for newsmakers and prominent personalities in the trial who tune in to the 24-hour news channel’s coverage for discussions, commentaries, and interviews.

Velasquez highlighted the importance of tuning in to the proceedings as a way of upholding good governance and to make the country’s democracy stronger.

Filipinos must watch the impeachment trial so they can see how the democratic process should be undertaken and because of this, democracy will be strengthened. If people care about the trial, they believe in good governance. And they will also benefit from it,” he said.

Jumilla, a veteran political reporter and news anchor, echoed Velasquez in that the biggest challenge for journalists is absorbing, distilling, explaining to the public what’s going on in the procedure so they see its significance.

This is not just about officials quarrelling each other to oust another official. Obviously, not everyone is familiar with the processes of legislation and impeachment trial itself, but as journalists, our role is to break it down into words and concepts that are more understandable,” said Jumilla, who considers reporting on the Chief Justice’s trial one of the pinnacles of her journalistic career.

Davila said, “Providing analyses and contextualization of what happens is very important because when people understand the functions of our officials and the processes of the law, our standards and expectations as a nation of who serves us become higher.”

The live coverage will also be streamed on abs-cbnNEWS.com for those who would watch it online. ANC’s livestreaming has had 262,194 plays with 2,182 unique users per day as of early March. It also delivers up-to-date news on Twitter via @ANCALERTS with 424,856 followers and ANC 24/7 on Facebook, which has amassed 106,474 likes.

An asset of ANC’s coverage is Tamano, a Harvard alumnus and impeachment expert who was also a member of former President Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada’s defense counsel during the then leader’s impeachment. The experience, Tamano admitted, gives him an added layer of insight especially when assessing the defense panel’s tactics.

“I’ve been there. I know where they are coming from. I have to take my role as a legal analyst seriously, be prepared to answer constitutional questions, and study parts of the law.” he revealed.

ANC will continue to give the live and full coverage of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment trial to keep you in the know from start to finish. Watch crucial developments unfold live on “Chief Justice on Trial: The ANC Coverage” on ANC (SkyCable ch. 27), Mondays to Thursdays at 1 p.m. and on its live streaming on abs-cbnNEWS.com. For updates, follow @ANCALERTS on Twitter using the hashtag #CJonTrial or like ANC 24/7 on Facebook.

From being one of the country’s hottest actors, Xian Lim is marking another milestone in his showbiz career as he is now a certified recording artist with his debut album titled “So It’s You” released by Star Records.

After winning the hearts of primetime TV viewers in the drama series “My Binondo Girl” topbilled by Kim Chiu; enchanting ladies with his magazine covers and TV commercials; and proving his hosting skills in the recently held Bb. Pilipinas, Xian Lim is now ready to prove his talent in singing.

“Having your own album is every musician’s dream so I was very happy when I found out that I am going to do one. It is what I really wanted,” Xian said.

Under Star Records, “So It’s You” features five tracks including its carrier single “Puso Kong Hibang,” which is Xian’s original composition. Completing the tracklist are the “My Binondo Girl” theme song “Ako’y Sa’yo Lamang,” and Xian’s revivals of OPM hit songs “So It’s You,” “Reaching Out” and “Oh Babe.”
