Hoy Gising! Kapamilya |
Hoy Gising! (English: hey, wake up!) is a Philippine news program broadcast by ABS-CBN. Originally anchored by Ted Failon and Korina Sanchez, it aired from May 4, 1992 to March 2, 2001, replacing Isabel, Sugo ng Birhen. Originally as a segment of the flagship national network news broadcast TV Patrol, it eventually metamorphosed into a long-running public service program. Cherie Mercado, Connie Sison, Francis Pangilinan, Gel Santos-Relos, Henry Omaga-Diaz and Aljo Bendijo serve as final anchors. On June 26, 2004, the program was revived for Saturday afternoon airings as Hoy Gising! Kapamilya.
Origin and format
Hoy Gising! was a public service program that began on TV Patrol as a segment handled by Frankie Evangelista. It grew into a half-hour program, later extended to an hour, chiefly anchored by Kris Aquino, Ted Failon, and Korina Sanchez. The show covered various problems associated with the government, as well as social issues, using a semi-humorous style of commentary on the featured issues and problems.
The show was directed by Rolly G. Reyes, who also wrote the lyrics of the theme song (set to the tune of Shame and Scandal by Trini Lopez) and created the segment titles. The show had a mambo-themed opening song performed by The Kumbancheros.
One of its weekly highlights every Friday was a summary of covered social and government-related complaints and issues in the show, and their statuses; the Honor Roll where solutions and actions to raised problems were lauded, and Horror Roll, where persisting and standstill issues are scorned and rounded up, to the tune of Wake Up Little Susie, and for the last entry, Taps.
The show also had provincial versions in Bacolod, Cebu and Davao from January 11, 1993 to March 2, 2001.
