Yooooo!!!! It's you, DJ Billy, one of the iconic voice of 96.3 WRock Cebu today! Never thought that you are one of the RPN Cebu Correspondents way back then. Thanks to some random search of Old Philippine News Intro 💯
Right before Nikki De Guzman, Mav Gonzales, Denice Dinsay, Maoui David, Pauline Verzosa, Gretchen Ho, one of the most beautiful face in Philippine broadcasting was Cathy Santillan.
@@rolandong2311Pero kung titignan mo si Cathy Santillan, halong Jen Rosendahl at Ginger Conejero. Kaya she's my ultimate bias when it comes to female newscasters during the 90s, tapos ang mga bias wreckers ko ay sina Mel Tiangco, Korina Sanchez at Loren Legarda.
Iconic yung 3D logo na iyun. Lately bumalik ang 3D appliances sa dating brand logo from 3D New Generation. 'Di ko gets bakit nila binago yun. Sa mga batang 90s, para kasing nakadagdag yung intensity ng music at yung effect na para kang hinahatak o hinigigop tila ba (as a young kid) ng electric fan kaya creepy siya. Sponsor rin yan sa mga top-of-the-hour news bulletins. Before no'ng di pa uso ang overtime, an ad or two can air as continuity before the next show with the station ID.
RPN might have been lagging in ratings at that time, but they were still able to take advantage of using satellite broadcasts to deliver local news from their relay stations in Visayas and Mindanao.
I think they were lagging by the 2000s. Sa 1995 power pa yan RPN-9 our fav channel. This was also the time of the Mari-Mar craze na naging desperate yung ibang network nagpalabas din ng mga Mexican telenovelas.
Malakas pa ang RPN noong 90s. They started lagging during the early 2000s, when Asianovelas were introduced, specifically Meteor Garden, Meteor Rain and the other F4 drama installments. Asianovelas suddenly became a trend, Mexicanovelas suddenly became a thing of the past. Isa pang factor diyan, hindi rin kasi nakuha ng RPN yung 2 pang Thalia dramas. Naunahan sila ng ABS CBN sa Maria Mercedes at ng GMA sa Rosalinda
Newswatch alumnae Cathy Santillan (1984-1999) and Joyce Ann Burton-Titular (2009-2011) are both titleholders of the Bb. Pilipinas. Cathy Veloso-Santillan (BBP 2nd RU, 1979) Joyce Ann Burton-Titular (BBP Young Intl, 1981 and BBP Universe, 1985) Fun fact: Cathy Santillan is the mom of Magic 89.9 DJ, Migs Santillan.
After his stint in RPN News Watch for many years as national caster, Harry Gasser was also a news presenter, this time in a local news, for ABS-CBN Cebu's TV Patrol Central Visayas in 1999/2000 (if the year is correct)
Another interesting fact, Harry Gasser was replaced by Eric Eloriaga, who was the former anchor of The Big News on then-ABC 5 and remained as its main anchor until 2000 when it was replaced by Primetime Balita. He would return to the anchor's chair when NewsWatch was revived in 2001 and was the final anchor on-board when it aired its final newscast on March 9, 2007.
1:22 "Hi, Billy!" William "Billy" Sienes, the one in a frame below Harry(+) and Cathy, is currently a disc jockey of DYRK-FM (96.3 WRock). You can still hear him through 96.3 FM (for those living in Cebu and some parts of Central Visayas) or thru 96.3 WRock web streaming.
Whoa!! That's DJ Billy?! I've been a longtime listener of 96.3 WRock in Cebu, and Billy is definitely a familiar voice. Never expected to actually see his face here, especially in his younger days. Now I wonder how his NewsWatch reports sounded like.

Given that the relay station’s transmitter for the TV part is in Shrine Hills, its radio station counterpart has a transmitter located at Barangay Bunawan.

Naalala ko tuloy, ginawan ng parody ni Jon Santos si Harry Gasser. During the Ispup 80s edition when they parodied some of the classic commercials and shows in the 1980s, Jon Santos plays the role of Harry Gasera
Kadalasan during PBA Games, pati na "Live on 5" primetime newsbreak sa ABC umere ang napakagandang komersyal ng Hope The Luxury Cigarettes bilang major sponsor.
No. 3 ata sa ratings yung "Kasama Mo" which makes sense. I doubt mao-overtake mo yung dalawang higante. Itong era naman na to on the other hand, malakas pa RPN and in virtual deadlock with the other channels.
Having read what "surround stereo" meant back in the day, it's pretty much useless. Look up "MTS" - the two extra audio channels contain extra info lang. It doesn't mean yung definition natin today na immersive.
@@undustfixation Oh okay okay. So not necessarily na katulad siya ng way ng pag-broadcast ng audio nowadays ano? I remember Studio 23, as in channel 23 in Mega Manila na rumerehistro na Stereo sa TV namin nun. Pero di ko pinakinggan if yung pagka-stereo niya is yung katulad ngayon. And ang baduy rin siguro kung legit stereo talaga, knowing na ang way of producing ng audio for TV before is ang speech ay nasa left channel while ang music ay nasa right or vice-versa. And before naman kasi mostbTV sets have only one speaker, pwera yung mga bagong CRT TV by the time.
Not really. Just a very good command of the English language, pero walang accent or “twang”, kung papakinggan mo uli nang mabuti. Same thing if you listen to the late Angelo Castro Jr.
@@mangdannyboySila ni Angelo Castro Jr. ang mga alamat pagdating sa late-night newscast noon. But, the one with a strong American accent was Eric Eloriaga.
@@undustfixationI remember 3D commercials during the 90s. They also have celebrity endorsers like Pinky Marquez and the late Subas Herrero. Hoping for that both TVCs be uploaded, which ever is available.
I never expected to see myself in this old clip on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing this. That's me, William Sienes, na may buhok pa. 😅

Well, we have Loren Legarda (The World Tonight) and Vicky Morales (Network News) who were attractive as well.

@@regrobvmagtibay Actually she's more of a Ginger Conejero. Sa facial features, medyo related, not sa dugo. 😊👍

Boses ba yun ni Peter Musñgi?
Yes, nagpoprovide sya VO sa mga commercials back then.
Sa tingin ko wala na riyan si Coco Quisumbing na nagsilbing co-anchor ni Harry Gasser sa Newswatch Prime Cast.
Yes. Nasa Asia Business News na si Coco Quisumbing that time.
Interesting point here: yung logo na ginamit for osb ng News ay yung '80 na logo despite na iba ang ginamit for the ident.
It is basically done in a computer and they opt for Helvetica instead of Peignot.
@@Zyugo its nice to see that, since di pa uso ang paglagay ng picture as part ng osb.
Pero they could have used the 94 logo, though.
@@rolandong2311 technically, they were still using the main RPN logo outside of their on-air brand of The Network, even during the New Vision 9 era.
