Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas (Good Morning, Philippines, formerly known as Alas Singko Y Medya and Magandang Umaga, Bayan) was an early morning show produced by ABS-CBN from June 3, 1996 to June 22, 2007. It started at 5:15 am and ended at 8:30 am (UTC +8) on weekdays, while the weekend edition which ran from 1999 to 2004 aired from 5:30 am to 7:00 am PST.
History[edit]
Alas Singko Y Medya (1996–2002)[edit]
The ABS-CBN management conceptualized the morning show in 1995 when Magandang Umaga Po was still on air. The show started on June 3, 1996 as Alas Singko Y Medya (literally "5:30"; derived from the Spanish A las cinco y media) which premiered with original hosts Julius Babao and Panjee Gonzalez. Gonzalez temporarily left the show due to her upcoming marriage to ABS-CBN's chairman and CEO Eugenio Lopez III, but returned a few months later, until Christine Bersola-Babao was named as her permanent replacement.
Aida Gonzalez was the first female traffic reporter of the show (and of the network) and became the host in 1996, and Alvin Elchico, an anchor from TV Patrol Western Visayas (now TV Patrol Negros), was assigned to the main office in Quezon City and appeared on the show from 1997.
On January 16, 1999, the show began broadcasting a weekend edition, hosted initially by Cosim with Mon Ilagan and RJ Ledesma. On January 17, 2000, the network launched Balita Alas Singko ng Umaga to serve as the pre-programming for the morning show.
Babao and Cosim were the main news anchors while Bersola, Jeff Fernando and Riki Kwek presented lifestyle tips and other feature segments and Ira Panganiban presented sports.
On March 5, 2001, Babao and Bersola temporarily left the show to host Talk TV, a new talk show to replace Today with Kris Aquino. Cosim and Ilagan, together with Cherie Mercado, Connie Sison and Pia Guanio, became weekday hosts.
On August 2, 2002, the network redesigned the show, to be renamed Magandang Umaga, Bayan on Monday, followed by a new morning talk show to replace Morning Girls.
Magandang Umaga, Bayan (2002–2005)[edit]
The renamed Magandang Umaga, Bayan (Good Morning, Nation) premiered on August 5, 2002, retaining Julius Babao, Christine Bersola-Babao, Cheryl Cosim, Aida Gonzalez, Rikki Kwek, Ira Panganiban, Connie Sison, Pia Guanio, Erwin Tulfo and his wife Karen Padilla from Alas Singko Y Medya as the main hosts of the show. The show added new hosts Bobby Yan, Aljo Bendijo (then anchoring TV Patrol with Korina Sanchez and Henry Omaga-Diaz), then-Cong. Juan Miguel Zubiri, Jesse Andres, showbiz reporters Mario Dumaual and Jeff Fernando, and Obet Serrano.
Segments for Magandang Umaga, Bayan included "Problema ng Pinoy", a public-service portion for the daily concerns of the average citizen presented by Cong. Miguel Zubiri, and "Itanong Mo Kay Atty", a legal advice feature covering issues set in by viewers from all parts of the country, presented by attorney Jesse Andres of the PECABAR law firm.
Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas (2005–2007)[edit]
In 2005, the first regional morning show was launched on March 7 entitled Maayong Buntag Kapamilya (ABS-CBN TV-3 Cebu) as a local counterpart along with Panay Sikat (ABS-CBN TV-10 Iloilo), launched on January 16, 2006 and Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao (ABS-CBN TV-3 General Santos and ABS-CBN TV-5 Cotabato), launched on June 19.
Also on June 6 of that year, it carried the title Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas with new hosts. The show ended on June 22, 2007, due to poor ratings and was replaced by Umagang Kay Ganda, as a customized format for MUP.
