Today marks the end of my former groups’ journey…TV Patrol Regional Networks.
ABS-CBN Regional Networks will have their final broadcast and newscast after more than 3 decades of service to every people in regions, communities and far flung barangays.
In rural areas like in Palawan, ABS -CBN is one of the very limited information source for everyone.
I know, because I was once a TV Patrol newscaster and Asst. News Director. I worked in ABS- CBN Palawan for 3 to 4 years before my stint in Radio Mindanao Networks (RMN) DZXL Manila.
Today, August 28, 2020, my heart bleeds, as well as the workers of 12 regional networks that were affected by the denial of ABS-CBN’s franchise application.
I don’t know how to start and what to say, honestly, this is one of the saddest stories I’ve made.
There is no any words can describe your pains, anger and sadness…but life must go on…”babawi tayo sa eleksyon!”

-TV Patrol Palawan,
– TV Patrol North Luzon (Baguio, Dagupan, Ilocos, Isabela and Pampanga)
