GMA Network has renewed its vows to news and entertainment in the face of Covid-19 as well as high-drama at rival ABS-CBN, which was forced off air on 5 May.

GMA spoke this month about being entrusted with a “bigger responsibility” and answering the call of duty for millions of Filipinos.

GMA news programme 24 Oras reached 23.6% rating (11.4 million viewers, Nielsen NUTAM, 6-12 May).

GMA has yet to return to regular scheduling, and is running repeats of dramas Ika-6 Na Utos, Onanay, Encantadia, Kambal Karibal, Meant to Be and My Husband’s Lover.
