Dapat Alam Mo! marks 1st year with week-long anniversary special

Beginning October 31, GTV’s ‘Dapat Alam Mo!’ is celebrating its first year with a week-long anniversary special, which includes a special live coverage all the way from South Korea!

Hosted by Emil Sumangil, Patricia Tumulak, and Kim Atienza, the daily news magazine show has won the hearts of viewers since its launch in October 2021.

Every day, the show not only delivers the hottest news items, but also dishes out various human interest stories and extends public service to its viewers.

On TikTok, the show has more than 84,000 followers and with over 743,000 likes. As of writing, the program’s TikTok page has chalked up more than 49 million views.

Kim, Patricia, and Emil only have words of gratitude to the viewers who continue to support their show.

“Truly a blessing!” exclaimed Kim about the show’s anniversary. “I wasn't expecting Dapat Alam Mo! to be this successful. It is my first show since I moved to GMA and everything that happened [that] year was a haze. Every day was new to me. New people to work with, new studio, new workplace, new work style – all of it was all new and exciting! All hard work but fun! The whole year just flew like that as the adage goes, ‘time flies when you're having fun.’

Patricia is beyond grateful that she is celebrating the show’s first year. “I’ve learned a lot from this show,” she says, adding that Dapat Alam Mo! allowed her to get to know more about Kim and Emil. “Mas naging malapit kami sa isa't isa. Mas komportable at mas relaxed na kami magkatrabaho. Mas lumawak din ang topics na napapag-uusapan off cam – from health to family, financial advice, as well as constructive criticisms on ways to improve my hosting skills,” she shares.

“Walang pagsidlan ang tuwa’t ligaya na aking nadarama sa karangalan na maging bahagi ng palatuntunang ito,” reveals Emil. “Salamat sa Diyos, salamat sa GMA, salamat sa suporta ng pamilya at siyempre, salamat sa inyong tumatangkilik sa palatuntunang ito.”

Kim also praised his co-hosts for their hard work. “Patty is funny and humble yet truly a beautiful woman inside and out. She has stayed humble despite all her successes. Emil on the other hand was everything I expected plus more! So much commitment to his craft and so much faith in God. Truly a respectable human being.”

As it begins a new chapter, Dapat Alam Mo!  continues with its brand of programming that has captured today’s audience.

“More out of the box stories that are so well produced and delivered,” says Kim.

“Viewers can expect more interesting and fun segments,” adds Patricia.

“More  public service. Mas malalim na expose at mabilis na pagtugon sa hinaing ng mga kababayan nating nagtitiwala sa programa,” shares Emil.
