Have you ever thought of how long you've been watching the morning show UNANG HIRIT? They're celebrating their 25th anniversary this December, and if you think about it, that's a full grown man at the prime of his life. Much to say, they gave us a glimpse of what's about to happen in the next few days as they celebrate this milestone. After all, they've been there when you wake up in the morning when you're preparing breakfast, your kids baon, or when your husband is about to go to work. They're routinely serving various forms of entertainment so you don't feel bad before you go to school, or for work.
Host Arnold Clavio says "Being in Unang Hirit for the last 25 years has been very rewarding. While we give the day's freshest news and happenings, we get to set the mood so you feel great at the start of the day. We bring not just good information, we'll be your alarm clock and make you be ahead of all the updates even hopefully, in the next 25 years!"
I asked Ms. Susan Enriquez about what particular piece moved her out of all the reportage she does for the show and identified the Typhoon Yolanda. She was there the day after when it hit the province and saw lives lost and devastation. She couldn't move as a person but she had to do her job to make sure information about it reaches entities in the government so they could give help. Another one was the chance to cover the Vatican, she was up close Pope Francis, she wept while seeing him during mass and admitted how blessed she felt that moment. She wants to do more and hopefully only do bigger stories in the next few years because she wants to be a source of positivity in the morning just like the rest of the hosts in the show.
Mark December 6 on your calendars as this will be the National Unang Hirit Day, the day when the show first aired. If you're a fan of the show, this is the time to celebrate in huge giveaways, public service offerings they plan to do on that date. They have surprises prepared for everyone, no matter where you are in the country. A few days ago, they already gave 25 peso rice grains, and 25 per kilo of LPG, so imagine what they'll be doing when the actual day arrives.
Here's our coverage on video, please sub!
Not only that, but if you recall the song they have on the show, they're going to have a few changes to it as well courtesy of the voices of Jose Mari Chan, Zephanie and Mark Bautista. It's going to be a bit modern than usual so stay tuned for that!
I also got the chance to participate in one of the games they usually do in the show and got tons of rice, a rice cooker and microwave oven, for that, I am so thankful! I thought I was just there to participate but got surprised by the hosts. Really thankful for that! It just reminded me, my birthday is their anniversary, congratulations on the show! And I'm looking forward to see what other surprises you have up your sleeves! Remember, UNANG HIRIT shows every weekday at, 5:30am. Thank you to Arnold Clavio, Susan Enriquez, Suzi Entrata Abrera, Atty. Gabby Concepcion, Shaira Diaz, Anjo Pertierra, Kaloy Tingcungco and Chef Jr for being so kind that afternoon. They're ready for you in the coming days, so make sure you watch the show! Make sure to be there and be heard as they celebrate 25 years with you!
