As steadfast leadership is needed for the Network’s integrated newsgroup, I believe we can only accomplish more and greater results and benefits when we work together better than ever. I come into this new role with learnings from GMA Regional TV and Synergy and look forward to a more inclusive and integrated environment that continues and champions what GMA as a media organization has always stood for: ‘Serbisyong Totoo.’”
