By MARGARET CLAIRE LAYUG, GMA News

It's "Serbisyong Totoo" all the way for Mike Enriquez.

The GMA News pillar and multi-awarded news anchor and radio host Mike Enriquez marked his 25th year as a loyal Kapuso by renewing his contract with GMA Network on Thursday. 

 

 

A loyal Kapuso since 1995, the veteran broadcast journalist said he already considers GMA as his home.

“Lubos tayong nagpapasalamat sa GMA at syempre sa top management dahil sa patuloy nilang pagtitiwala sa loob ng dalawampu’t limang taon at higit pa," Enriquez said.

"Kaya sa mga susunod pang taon, asahan ninyong patuloy pa rin tayong maghahatid ng Serbisyong Totoo at mas paghuhusayan pa natin para sa ating mga Kapuso."

Present at the contract signing were GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon, President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., EVP and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, and SVP for News and Public Affairs Marissa L. Flores.

Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Communications Angela Javier Cruz and Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications Jojo Aquio were also in attendance.

The one and only "Sumbungan ng Bayan," who was all smiles after the ceremony, also shared why inking a contract with GMA anew is always a joyous occasion for him.

"Kasi, bukod sa pagiging isang kasunduan, para sa'kin, simbulo 'yung kontrata. Simbolo ng pagtitiwala ng management ng GMA sa akin, at 'yung pagtitiwala ko sa management ng GMA," he told reporters.

"Kasi ibig sabihin non magkaparehas, o kung tawagin, aligned kami ng mga adhikain namin, ng values, sa pagbibigay ng serbisyong totoo. Kaya masaya."

 

 

At present, Enriquez co-anchors GMA’s flagship primetime news program "24 Oras" and hosts the investigative public affairs program "Imbestigador."

He is also seen daily on GMA News TV’s "Dobol B Sa News TV." On radio, he banners Super Radyo DZBB’s "Saksi sa Dobol B" and "Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide."

Citing Enriquez's unparalleled competence throughout the years, GMA's top management expressed its gratitude and appreciation to the broadcast news icon's continued loyalty to his home network and his work.

“Si Mike Enriquez ay talagang matagal na dito sa GMA. In fact, ang loyalty niya at ang loyalty ng GMA sa kanya are unquestionable. Hindi lamang iyon, Mike is already an institution at siya ay isa sa mga pinakadisenteng journalist at anchor na nakilala ko dito sa broadcasting [industry],” Atty. Gozon shared.

Duavit likewise emphasized Enriquez’ contribution to the Network.

“We do not see life without Mike and we are grateful and happy that he sees it the same way. Kaya’t pagkakataon din ito na pasalamatan siya sa patuloy na pagtitiwala, patuloy na pakikiisa, at patuloy pang pagpapatibay ng ating samahan,” he said.

Aside from his unrivaled expertise in news reporting and “Serbisyong Totoo”, Enriquez is known for his honest and straightforward commentaries on various socio-political issues.

He is the first Filipino to win the Best Newscaster Award in the Asian Television Awards. He has also been recognized as a “Media Icon” at the first-ever Media Icon Awards organized by the Media Specialists Association of the Philippines (MSAP) held last November 5. The award recognized Enriquez’ invaluable contribution to Philippine media that paved the way for more Filipinos to appreciate news. 

At the same time, he is also a recipient of the Media Icon Award during the Gawad Filipino Awards 2019 by EUROTV Philippines. Last January 27, he was also named as the Most Outstanding Male News Anchor at the 3rd Gawad Lasallianeta organized by the De La Salle Araneta University. — LA, GMA News
