Starting Monday (Nov 8), Korina Sanchez and Noli “Kabayan” De Castro will return to television to join Ted Failon in “TV Patrol” to form the most tried and tested news team ever assembled in the history of Philippine broadcasting.

The powerhouse team, all seasoned and working broadcast journalists, is collaborating to present news that matter to Filipinos all over the world and to give back to their kapamilya viewers by strengthening the public service commitment of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs, the country’s most credible news organization based on a recent study by Pulse Asia.

Failon, in his 27 years in the industry, is the “Sandigan ng Bayan” for his commitment and focus on issues up to their resolution. Sanchez, on the other hand, is the intelligent and brave “Kakampi ng Bayan,” who has reported on the biggest news in the country since she started in ABS-CBN in 1986. She also holds the distinction of being the first female main anchor of “TV Patrol.”

De Castro, “Kabayan ng Pilipino,” returns with a wider knowledge of the workings of government after his stint as vice president of the Philippines. He started making a name on radio during the Martial Law years. Kabayan is also the original anchor of “TV Patrol,” and the hard-hitting investigative show, “Magandang Gabi Bayan.”

“TV Patrol” is the country’s number one primetime newscast in the country with an average rating of 32.6% in September beating GMA’s “24 Oras,” according to Kantar Media. When it comes to news, most Filipinos say ABS-CBN is the most credible TV network in the country as seen in the results of a Pulse Asia nationwide survey. 72% of the Filipinos believe ABS-CBN gave the most credible TV news coverage of the May 2010 elections, higher than GMA, which had only 63% believing in its credibility, and TV 5’s 32%.

In line with this development, the Kapamilya network is also beefing up its late night newscast “Bandila,” and has offered ABS-CBN news veterans Julius Babao and Karen Davila to join Ces Drilon as anchors.
Drilon, Babao, and Davila will provide deeper analysis and extended coverage of the day’s biggest news in “Bandila.”

I'm just curious, they keep bragging the stats coming from Kantar Media that TV Patrol is constantly beating 24 Oras in the ratings, they keep saying that they are no.1, they are the most watched prime time newscast in Mega Manila and in Nationwide Households, and these and that, but why does ABS-CBN needs to make some changes in the show? Why do they need to put together three of the most well known news anchors? They want to make sure they maintain the lead? Or are they insecure with GMA-7 and TV5?

They say that Noli De Castro, Ted Failon and Korina Sanches together in TV Patrol World is a powerhouse team, I don't think so, there's nothing new because these three were the same people during the early days of TV Patrol, together with Frankie Evangelista, Angelique Lazo and Mel Tiangco who is now in GMA-7's 24 Oras. Starting Monday, prepare to to time space warped in TV Patrol during the '90s, it's vintage TV Patrol.
