‘The Other Stars’

BY RONALD CONSTANTINO

Am referring to the men and women of the News and Public Affairs Department of GMA, of which the Kapuso channel is tops.

One by one now, starting with the news anchor of “24 Oras,” the primetime newscast: Mel Tiangco, Mike Enriquez, and Vicky Morales.

Tital Mel also hosts the drama anthology “Magpakailanman” and heads the Kapuso charity and public service arm.

Mike is the man behind “Imbestigador.” His slogan: “Hindi ko kayo tatantanan.”

Vicky makes wishes come true via “Wish Ko Lang.”

Jessica Soho – the most awarded TV journalist, bar none.

Susan Enriquez – the most hardworking TV-host.

Atom Araulio – the matinee idol of News and Public Affairs.

Howie Severino – credible, hardworking.

Kara David – all around, equal to any assignment.

The others, as they come to mind: Connie Sison, Suzy Entrata, Lynn Ching, Pia Arcangel, Sandra Aguinaldo, Mark Salazar, Drew Arellano and Iya Villania, Ivan Mayrina, Chino Gaston, Oscar Oida, Arnold Clavio, Winnie Monsod, Atty. Gaby Concepcion. Nelson Canlas, Mark Zembrano.

So there. “The Other Stars.” The list is by no means complete.

Here are more members of GMA Star Power.

Rayver Cruz and Janine Gutierrez, Glaiza de Castro, Julie Ann San Jose, Alfred Vargas, Jean Garcia, Snooky Serna, Dina Bonnevie, Mark Herras, Pancho Magno, Max Collins.
