00:00Do you know that I still remember our audition?
00:11Yes, there were four of us.
00:12We'll be back with Jenny.
00:15I was invited but I was outside.
00:18I really look like a barangay.
00:19In the continuation of Unang Hirit 25 in Karadox, we'll meet some GMA Integrated News reporters
00:32in the morning show that this is the start of their career.
00:35Yes, Susan, we're still live.
00:38And the unforgettable coverage of the program.
00:49One of the news producers of GMA Integrated News started his career in Unang Hirit.
00:55Before he became an on-cam reporter,
00:57Bernadette Reyes started as a researcher behind the camera.
01:03I was studying at UP Diliman taking up Broadcast Communications.
01:07That's when I was looking for an opportunity to become an OJT.
01:10So one time, my boss offered me a job.
01:12He asked me,
01:13Bernadette, do you want to work?
01:16And it couldn't come at a better time
01:18because at that time, I was looking for a job in my thesis.
01:22So my first paycheck in Unang Hirit was just enough.
01:26I mean, how much do I have to pay the editor for my thesis?
01:29I did SP for Drew Arellano, for Ati Love, for Regine Tolentino.
01:34So that's where I learned the things that are very, very helpful in covering the news today.
01:41These are some of the equipment that will be used to dig a hole in the ship.
01:45According to the subs, they will do it very carefully.
01:47That's why only experts are required to use it.
01:52What Bernadette learned in Unang Hirit is a big deal for her.
01:56Because of the learnings that I learned there,
01:59I still carry them with me as a reporter.
02:01What caught my eye at the beginning was that
02:03it was smaller by almost two floors compared to Lolong,
02:06which is considered the largest crocodile in captivity in the world.
02:10Bernadette Reyes learned 24 hours.
02:13Ability to produce good stories and ability to do in-depth research.
02:18You need to have legwork, you need to have paperwork,
02:22something that I really learned in Unang Hirit.
02:24Also because of the push of the voices,
02:27that you won't stop just because of this.
02:29You work on every story. It stays with me.
02:33This is where Madugong Supernova Music Festival was held,
02:36where hundreds of people were killed.
02:39One of those who started his career as a journalist in Unang Hirit
02:42was the news producer, JP Soriano.
02:49In 2004, JP became a program researcher in Unang Hirit.
02:53At that time, I applied as a reporter.
02:57At that time, Tita Kelly, one of our administrators,
03:03I wasn't ready to be a news reporter at that time.
03:08So what they did is they trained me.
03:11Because that's the brand of GMA News and Public Affairs.
03:15It's small, but it filled me and it prepared me
03:21to be part of a bigger mission.
03:26So I owe it really a lot to Unang Hirit.
03:29I'm always proud to say that's where I started in GMA.
03:41From being a program researcher,
03:43JP became a segment producer of GMA Public Affairs
03:46before becoming a news reporter.
03:50We'll study Korean cooking here.
03:56I always look back to the times when I started learning the steps,
04:02the little steps in broadcasting.
04:04And that's really the foundation of my journalism career
04:10here at GMA News and in the Philippines in general.
04:14I'm afraid, chef. Please don't judge me.
04:22That's one of the things I learned, never giving up.
04:27You have to wake up every day for your loved ones.
04:31Just like Unang Hirit, they wake up every day
04:33to give information, to give a show.
04:36So for 25 years, that's what they've been doing.
04:40The wind is strong.
04:42And we can see the heavy rain.
04:46Aside from the joy Unang Hirit brought as a morning show,
04:49they also brought important events to the country.
04:57Some typhoons also hit our country.
05:00And Unang Hirit was there to give important information
05:04to the affected areas.
05:07It reached 455 millimeters.
05:09There was a night rainfall within 24 hours.
05:13Who can forget the 2009 typhoon
05:16that hit many areas in Metro Manila and Karatigbayan.
05:21It was 11 a.m. when the water level was rising.
05:24And after an hour, the roof of our house was swept away.
05:30I was able to record a video of a fisherman
05:33washing the water from the sea during a typhoon in Yolanda.
05:37Unang Hirit also brought a special coverage
05:40of how the typhoon Yolanda swept the Visayas region in 2013.
05:46Maybe Unang Hirit's team was late in covering the typhoon.
05:50It was led by Love Añover.
05:52The typhoon Yolanda also didn't make it.
05:55Before the typhoon hit,
05:57Unang Hirit's former host, Love Añover, was there.
06:01We were thinking that we were going to cry.
06:05We were really thinking that the world was coming to an end.
06:10Unang Hirit's team was trapped inside a church.
06:14They were safe from the impact of the typhoon Yolanda.
06:18But when they went out of the church where they were hiding,
06:21a storm storm hit them.
06:26When we went out, that's what scared me the most,
06:29the people, the chaos, their faces.
06:33You don't know, it was really scary.
06:35Later, there were dead people.
06:38What happened?
06:40Because I expected that we were overjoyed because we were alive.
06:43Then we saw it now.
06:45That's when you saw a lot of dead people.
06:47Yes, that's it.
06:48This is what scared me the most.
06:51Igan, it's been more than a kilometer
06:53since the queue of cars entered Pasig City from the church.
06:57Unang Hirit also brought us a hot update last 2020
07:02on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
07:05Ivan, what I also want to know is,
07:07I think the NCRT is in charge there.
07:10Unang Hirit was one of the first to monitor
07:13and provide information on the situation of lockdown
07:16in places in the Philippines.
07:22And for the first time,
07:24Unang Hirit also held its first event on Sunday.
07:27I'm here at Hong Kong Disneyland.
07:31Monaco's federal, Notre Dame Immaculée.
07:33We're here at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
07:36Aside from the important news and information,
07:39Unang Hirit also showed us around different countries.
07:42Eiffel Tower, the most famous landmark here in Paris, France.
07:47We're still live from Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
07:52Unang Hirit brought us to Holy Land or Jerusalem
07:56for a fun adventure in 2018.
08:07Unang Hirit showed us important places
08:10where the important part of Jesus' life was believed.
08:22The so-called coverage won the Best Special Event Coverage
08:26at the Catholic Mass Media Awards in 2018.
08:30They hope that Unang Hirit will continue
08:33to bring them crazy stories.
08:39More than being a morning show and giving news,
08:43Unang Hirit did this for 25 years.
08:48It became a public service
08:51that gave way to help our countrymen.
08:55There are smiles on their lips
08:58because this is our true water service.
09:02From giving water to our countrymen
09:05who have no supply for a long time
09:07to free electric fan repair.
09:10Our loved ones from Pasay City came here early.
09:14This is Unang Hirit for you.
09:16This is the new electric fan for our countrymen.
09:20Some commuters' problems were also answered by UH.
09:24They gave free bike gears for our countrymen
09:28when there were no vehicles because of the lockdown.
09:33Of course, we need visibility on the road
09:36for our fellow cyclists.
09:38We will also give them reflective vests,
09:41for those who have to cross the road early in the morning.
09:44This is a VIP card with a load of 500 pesos.
09:47Free VIP cards were also distributed
09:50for our countrymen who ride MRT or Metrorail Transit.
09:54Thank you so much.
09:56This is a VIP card.
09:59Unang Hirit also became real
10:01to meet the needs of many students.
10:05We have a surprise for you.
10:08We sent you an email.
10:10Dear Yasmin,
10:12Unang Hirit already answered your new laptop
10:15so that I can use it for my studies.
10:17We also included it in the broadband upload
10:20so that you can have a good TV.
10:23Thank you so much.
10:25UH also gave free laptops
10:28for students in need
10:31and gave free school bags for children.
10:35Thank you so much, guys.
10:37Most of all, Unang Hirit became real
10:40to change the lives of some students
10:43who couldn't finish their studies.
10:46For example, 19-year-old Allen.
10:50In 2019, I thought,
10:52what if I share my story?
10:54What was the reason why I stopped going to school?
10:58I also told how I decided to stop going to school
11:04and prioritize my work
11:06so that I can help my family.
11:09Allen was a working student
11:11and he had a hard time every year
11:14while studying and working at the same time.
11:18It's different every year.
11:20The first year was the hardest
11:23because I couldn't adjust.
11:25I wasn't used to it.
11:27The first and second semester were hard
11:31because I only slept for two hours every day.
11:34There were no classes on Saturday and Sunday.
11:36I was still busy with school activities.
11:39Because of his story,
11:41Allen was chosen to receive
11:43the Unang Hirit College Scholarship in 2019.
11:46Despite being a Unang Hirit scholar,
11:49Allen continued to be a working student.
11:52He worked hard to get good grades
11:55even though it was tiring and tiring.
11:58That's why in college,
11:59I said, I've been studying for the last four years.
12:02I haven't given it all yet.
12:03I only slept for two hours.
12:05Sometimes, I didn't even get to rest.
12:10Because other than school and work,
12:12at that time,
12:14I had other responsibilities in the church.
12:17So I said, it's okay.
12:19At least I'm healthy.
12:20My family is healthy.
12:21No one is sick.
12:23Allen considered the Unang Hirit Scholarship
12:25as one of the greatest blessings
12:28from the Lord.
12:30When the Unang Hirit Scholarship was given,
12:33I received it right away.
12:34I didn't have to pay for school fees,
12:37tuition fees,
12:39and the program itself.
12:42It was a huge help.
12:43What I earned from work,
12:45I will help my family with.
12:49After four years,
12:51Allen graduated as a magna cum laude
12:55in the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management
12:59this July 2024.
13:01Maybe words are not enough
13:03to thank the Unang Hirit.
13:06Of course,
13:08if I really absorbed what my relatives said before
13:11that once I earn money,
13:13I might not even think of going to school.
13:16So I didn't foresee
13:18or maybe I didn't see myself now
13:21that I finished school.
13:24Plus, there are still Latin owners
13:26without the help of Unang Hirit.
13:29Allen is currently working
13:31in a hotel as a sales support specialist.
13:39Within 25 years,
13:42Unang Hirit became an important part of our morning.
13:46Good morning!
13:47Luzon Visayas, Mindanao.
13:49From delivering the hottest and correct news
13:53to giving hope
13:55to the people in need.
14:03It's true that the true service they bring to the country
14:07cannot be forgiven.
14:09I am Cara David.
14:11This is Caradox,
14:12the story of the people.
