ANC, the news channel that has covered Philippine elections in almost two decades, led the election news coverage as early as last year when it launched ANC Presents: The Road to 2013. Anchored by Jumilla, the year-long primer presented comprehensive analyses of the sectors and personalities critical to the elections.

In February this year, ANC re- placed the said program with Harapan 2013, also anchored by Jumilla, where senatorial candidates discussed important national concerns and their platforms. ANC’s Headstart with Karen Davila also introduced its Halalan 2013 series in its Hot Copy segment where senatorial candidates were interviewed.
