Ces Drilon, Ricky Carandang together on primetime
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) - Two of the country’s seasoned journalists—Ces Orena Drilon and Ricky Carandang—will be anchoring a new show on ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel, starting March 1 at 8 p.m.
The show, titled "The Rundown," brings together their years of experience as broadcast journalists, banking on Drilon’s passion for details and Carandang’s deft analysis of fast-moving events.
The hour-long newscast aims to capture the biggest stories of the day and put them in perspective.
A journalist for more than 2 decades now, Drilon has covered the toughest assignments for ABS-CBN and has sat down with some of the most elusive newsmakers in the Philippines.
The top anchor of ANC, Carandang, on the other hand, has been reporting on politics and business for the cable news channel, and hosts the Big Picture, Dateline Philippines, and Business Nightly.
The new show kicks off ANC’s new programming this year as the channel offers more premium content to its viewers.
“We would like to provide more for the Filipino, wherever he is,” said Glenda Gloria, ANC’s chief operating officer.
“This new newscast is just one example of the changes you will be seeing on ANC this year. We’re going beyond breaking news. We’re going beyond the usual stories. We should be able to connect the dots, to help viewers make sense of what often seem to be disparate events,” she added.
The show will air from Mondays to Fridays on ANC at 8 p.m.
nice pair!
this is something to look forward to every 8pm.. aside from the news story, something to anticipate would be to "connect the dots" of the chemistry and sparks on air between the two anchors!
damn, it's just the same time as Ellen's show!
