To mark 24 years of delivering the latest news, fun segments, and public service to the Filipinos, the longest-running morning show in the country, “Unang Hirit (UH),” surprised viewers delivering heartwarming gifts to deserving individuals from various places in the country.
It kicked off last December 4 via the Grand Sorpresa Delivery Day with “UH” Hosts Suzi Entrata and Shaira Diaz surprising a housewife in Pandacan, Manila with a brand-new 50-inch flat-screen TV.
“UH” anchor Ivan Mayrina and weather presenter Anjo Pertierra delivered gifts to a mother in Quezon City, including grocery items, a brand new 50-inch flat screen TV, and 5,000 pesos!
The giving continued the next day, December 5, as Susan Enriquez, Lyn Ching, and Kim Perez traveled to San Mateo, Rizal to fulfill a viewer’s wish.
Sheila Laroga, longing to reunite with her family in Bicol after 10 years, was brought to tears when her family emerged from a giant Balikbayan Box as “UH’s” heartwarming surprise.
The family was given a 3-days-and-2-nights staycation package with cash for them to further enjoy their time together.
Meanwhile, last December 6, a six-wheeler truck unveiled “UH’s” biggest event – the Sorpresa Truck Reveal.
Arnold Clavio, Susan, Shaira, Kaloy Tingcungco, and Anjo shared in the
excitement.
The unveiling was accompanied by the singing of “Christmas in Our Hearts” by Jose Mari Chan while numerous individuals received prizes including brand-new TVs, oven toasters, and cash.
Tatay Wilson, 70-year old bystander, won the grand prize worth 24,000 pesos cash equating to the 24th year of “UH.”
On the fourth day, December 7, the Sorpresa Delivery headed north to Baguio City.
Nanay Bella, a vendor in Burnham Park, received from Anjo and “UH” funliners Kaloy and Jenzel Angeles, together with “Abot Kamay na Pangarap” stars Jeff Moses and John Vic De Guzman, a sack of rice, grocery items, and a special jacket containing 5,000 pesos in cash.
To conclude the anniversary week, Mariz Umali, Shaira, and Ivan visited Malabon City to deliver a brand new motorcycle to Khomenie Alauya, a rider who went viral after losing his job when his motorcycle caught fire while helping a fellow rider.
Throughout the week, notable personalities like Lani Misalucha, Ppop groups 1st.One and Bilib, and Kapuso Primetime King and Queen Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera joined the 24th anniversary celebration.
