CEBU, Philippines - GMA Network, Inc. (GMA), the leading Filipino broadcast company, is creating a buzz among TV viewers with the launch of its new Kapuso Station ID today during the prime-time news-cast, ‘24 Oras.’

The 4-minute Station ID signs-on and -off GMA’s programming beginning today and will also be shown in SM cinemas nationwide starting August 8.

One of GMA’s core values says “we believe that the viewer is boss.” GMA Chairman and CEO lawyer Felipe L.

This is one of the guiding values that has brought us to the leadership position we now hold."

GMA President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit Jr., adds that “this station ID celebrates our Kapuso relationship with our viewers and serves as an opportunity to show how important this relationship is to us.”

GMA VP for Program Support Regie Bautista agrees, saying that “since this Station ID shows how valuable our viewers are to the Network, all groups involved in the planning and execution of this Station ID gave it their 100% support. Our stars and personalities made it a point to adjust their hectic schedules to be part of this undertaking. This Station ID reaffirms to our viewers that they are the driving force behind everybody in GMA.”
