BTS shoot of newest PGMN anchor Edu Manzano shows the production of his first episode focused on self-respect, corruption, and voter accountability. The shoot documented Manzano delivering a message grounded in his experience in public office, including his time as Makati vice mayor, where he cited instances of inflated procurement costs and gaps in oversight. He described how repeated irregularities in government spending reflect patterns that persist when systems are not questioned and verified.

Manzano outlined key standards for evaluating public officials, pointing to competence, integrity, track record, and the need for clear plans, timelines, and budgets in governance. He said long-standing governance issues continue when these standards are not consistently applied by the public.

He also addressed voter behavior, warning against treating elections as entertainment and emphasizing the role of citizens in shaping outcomes. “Stop being fans. Start being citizens,” he said.

Behind the scenes with PGMN Anchor Orion Perez Dumdum as he breaks down the proposed billionaire wealth tax under House Bill 4304, pushing past the surface narrative to examine what is actually being taxed. Dumdum argues the policy is not centered on idle wealth or income, but on productive assets that drive the economy, including power systems, fuel networks, and major infrastructure. He anchors this in the scale of operations tied to Ramon S. Ang, whose businesses span energy, transport, and critical infrastructure that underpin everyday economic activity.

"Off camera, the discussion goes deeper into the possible ripple effects. Dumdum explains how imposing an annual tax on these assets could force businesses to adjust through higher prices, delayed expansion, or reduced hiring, raising questions on how far the impact could reach. He also revisits House committee hearings where he directly challenged IBON Foundation’s usual modus operandi in getting their facts wrong - either due to neglect or possibly due to intentionally trying to manipulate how the public perceives certain issues."

BTS shoot of newest PGMN Anchor ⁠‪@TheKingPandaShow‬, CEO and owner of Luxury Cars Manila and Armored Panda Industries, as he discusses the current dynamics of the Philippine car market. In this episode, King Panda highlights the 7.64% growth in vehicle sales from the previous year, with first-quarter sales increasing by 12.7&. He attributes this surge to heightened competition, leading to lower pricing, better tech features, expanded dealership networks, and more accessible financing options for buyers.

King Panda also addresses the growing presence of Chinese car brands, emphasizing that true ownership value is determined by after-sales support, parts availability, and solid warranties. He explains how mobility provides economic leverage, improving family logistics, enhancing safety, and protecting income.

BTS shoot of PGMN Anchor Jourdan Sebastian as he delivers a hardline commentary on corruption embedded across Philippine institutions, including government, business, media, and religious organizations. Moments before the shoot, Jourdan bowed his head in prayer, asking for guidance and clarity before addressing issues he described as deeply rooted in society.

Jourdan lays out his position that financial corruption is not confined to public office and argues that it has spread through multiple pillars of society. He points to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, local governments, private contractors, corporations, NGOs, schools, and spiritual institutions as part of a wider accountability crisis. He says the scale of public funds and private donations demands stricter oversight and transparent systems.

He calls on ordinary citizens to demand financial reporting from their own institutions, including churches and religious organizations, and urges leaders to adopt clear accounting mechanisms similar to the transparency expected from government. He also emphasizes that reform requires strategic pressure, civic responsibility, and moral leadership rooted in accountability.

BTS shoot of PGMN Anchor and former Chairman of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission Greco Belgica taking on one of the most sensitive and consequential cases in recent memory — the death of former DPWH Undersecretary Catalina “Cathy” Cabral.

Greco lays out the three prevailing theories surrounding Cabral’s death: that she was silenced before testifying, that it was suicide or an accident as officially declared, or that her death was staged to escape prosecution. He walks through the timeline, the alleged missing boxes of documents, the forensic findings, and the conflicting public statements that continue to fuel debate.

What emerges is a detailed breakdown of the facts, the contradictions, and the unanswered questions that keep the case at the center of public scrutiny.

BTS shoot of PGMN Anchor Atty. ‪@RegalOliva‬ breaking down the legal issues surrounding the ICC proceedings against former President Rody Duterte.

In this episode, she outlines the timeline of Duterte’s detention, the January 26 ruling of Pre-Trial Chamber I, and the January 28 appeal filed before the ICC Appeals Chamber. She explains the difference between “reasonable grounds to believe,” “substantial grounds,” and proof beyond reasonable doubt under the Rome Statute.

Atty. Regal Oliva also walks through the confirmation of charges process under Article 61, the standard required at trial under Article 66, and the concept of co-perpetration under Article 25. The discussion includes the principle of complementarity and the question of whether national courts are unwilling or unable genuinely to prosecute.

The episode centers on one core issue: where should justice be determined — before the ICC in The Hague or within Philippine courts.

An incredible last two days of shoots at PGMN headquarters with some of our biggest stars.

The stunning Dr. KC Halili showed up to film a confidential new project.

PGMN Lead Anchor Cj Hirro made her long-awaited return to film a one-hour BANGER of an exposé — going after one of the most evil and easily the most powerful man she's ever set her sights on. (The ep was so moving it had the staff and crew in tears!)

Powerhouse Atty. Regal Oliva sat down for an enlightening and hilarious collaboration with the girls of the Raw and Real Podcast before doing a solo anchor episode on Duterte’s ICC hearing AKA the Trial of the Century.

And of course the great James Deakin — PGMN's First Anchor — finally made his return to the anchor chair to tackle a remarkably consequential new issue.

BTS shoot of PGMN Anchor Atty. Bernice Piñol-Rodriguez as she breaks down how Filipinos can criticize government officials without facing cyber libel.

Atty. Bernice explains why free speech is constitutionally protected, yet journalists, bloggers, and ordinary citizens are sometimes punished, highlighting political bullying, the criminalization of libel, and misunderstandings about legal limits. She walks through real-life examples of statements that are legally protected versus those considered cyber libel, and explains the five elements of cyber libel—imputation, publication, malice, identifiability, and use of a computer system.

She also shows practical ways to frame statements as opinions, analysis, or calls for investigation, grounded in verifiable facts and public records, demonstrating how criticism of government can be bold, sharp, and legally safe.

BTS shoot of Sinulog Ambassador Ange Gomez as she walks through the deeper meaning behind Sinulog 2026. Gomez revisits how the festival began as a prayer in motion, rooted in rhythm and devotion, and how faith in the Santo Niño shaped Cebu long before Sinulog became known for crowds and spectacle.

The discussion reflects on the moment the festival was forced to pause during the pandemic, when streets fell silent and celebrations were scaled down. Gomez explains how that pause did not erase devotion, but reshaped how Sinulog returned—with greater intention and a clearer understanding of what it means to gather again after loss.

She also speaks about Sinulog’s role beyond faith and tradition, touching on how the festival moves livelihoods, supports local industries, and functions as an economic lifeline for thousands of workers, vendors, and communities—especially after flooding and other disruptions affected parts of Cebu.

The conversation circles back to what has always defined Sinulog: a tradition that knows how to pause, endure, and move forward, carried by devotion that never left.
