QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – In a shocking twist, viewers who tuned in to GMA Integrated News’ noontime news program, “Balita Ko,” (formerly “Balitanghali”) were left scratching their heads as the serious news program transformed into a melodramatic teleserye. 

The news anchor, famous for delivering headlines with unwavering professionalism, suddenly burst into a passionate monologue, seemingly straight out of a soap opera.  This, in place of what was supposed to be a news bulletin.

Viewers were both perplexed and oddly captivated.

GMA has surely reinvented the news game, leaving viewers bewildered and entertained in equal measure.
