00:00The wind is strong and we can see that the rain is also heavy.
00:07Aside from the joy of delivering the first wave as a morning show,
00:10they also became the carriers of important events in the country.
00:18Several typhoons are also hitting our country
00:21and the first wave was there to give important information to the affected areas.
00:28It reached 455 mm and there was a rainfall within 24 hours.
00:34Who can forget the 2009 typhoon that hit many places in Metro Manila and Karatigbayan.
00:42It was 11 am when the water level was rising
00:45and after an hour, the roof of our house was blown away.
00:51I recorded a video of a woman
00:54when the water level rose from the sea when the typhoon Yolanda hit.
00:58A special coverage was delivered by Unang Hirit
01:02when the typhoon Yolanda hit the Visayas region in 2013.
01:07The Unang Hirit team was able to recover from the typhoon late.
01:11It was led by Love Anuver.
01:13They were not able to save themselves from the typhoon Yolanda.
01:17Before the typhoon hit, the former Unang Hirit host, Love Anuver, was there.
01:22We were thinking that we were going to cry.
01:26We were really thinking that the world was coming to an end.
01:30The Unang Hirit team was trapped inside a church.
01:35They were safe from the impact of the typhoon Yolanda.
01:39But when they left the church where they were hiding,
01:42the roof of the church was blown away by the typhoon.
01:47When we left, that was the scariest part.
01:50What?
01:51The people, the chaos, their faces.
01:54You don't know, it was really scary.
01:56There were dead people.
01:58It was like, what happened?
02:01I expected that we were overjoyed because we were alive.
02:04Then we saw that.
02:06You saw the dead people?
02:08Yes, that's it.
02:09That was the scariest part.
02:11Ivan.
02:12Ivan, this is more than a kilometer long line of vehicles entering Pasig City from Cainta.
02:18The Unang Hirit also brought us a hot update in 2020
02:23in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:26Ivan, what I also want to know is, I think the NCRT is in charge there.
02:31The Unang Hirit is one of those who watched and provided information
02:35about the situation of lockdown in the Philippines.
02:39I think they're almost letting us go home.
02:42And for the first time, the Unang Hirit also opened on Sunday.
02:48I'm here at Hong Kong Disneyland.
02:52Monaco's federal, Notre Dame Immaculée.
02:54We're here at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
02:57Aside from the important news and information,
03:00the Unang Hirit also showed us around different countries.
03:03Eiffel Tower, the most famous landmark here in Paris, France.
03:08We're still live from Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
03:13The Unang Hirit brought us to Holy Land or Jerusalem
03:17for a fun adventure in 2018.
03:20Welcome to Holy Land.
03:22Right here in this place, our Lord Jesus Christ was born.
03:28He showed us important places
03:31where the important part of Jesus' life was believed to be.
03:35And the CMMA goes to
03:39Unang Hirit Holy Land coverage by GFH.
03:44The so-called coverage won the Best Special Event Coverage
03:49at the Catholic Mass Media Awards in 2018.
03:52They hope that the Unang Hirit will continue
03:55to bring them crazy stories.
03:58More than being a morning show and giving news,
04:01Unang Hirit has been doing this for 25 years.
04:05It has also become a public service
04:08that provides a way to help our fellow countrymen.
04:12There are smiles on their lips
04:14because this is our true water service.
04:19From giving water to our fellow countrymen
04:22for a long time without supplies,
04:24From giving water to our fellow countrymen
04:27for a long time without supplies,
04:29to free electric fan repair.
04:31Our fellow countrymen from Pasay City came here early.
04:35Unang Hirit is for you.
04:36This is the new electric fan for you.
04:38Yay!
04:41Some commuters' problems were also answered by UH.
04:45Free bike gears were given to our fellow countrymen
04:50during the lockdown.
04:54Of course, we need visibility on the road
04:57for our fellow cyclists.
04:59We will also give them reflective vests,
05:02especially for those who are pedaling.
05:04It's still early, it's still dark.
05:05That's a beep card.
05:06It has a load of 500 pesos.
05:08Free beep cards were also distributed
05:11for our fellow countrymen who ride the MRT or Metro Rail Transit.
05:15Thank you so much.
05:17That's a beep card.
05:20Unang Hirit also became a reality
05:22to meet the needs of many students.
05:27We have a surprise for you.
05:29We sent you an email.
05:31Dear Yasmin,
05:33Unang Hirit has already answered your new laptop
05:36so that you can use it for your studies.
05:38We also included it in the broadband upload
05:41so that you can have a proper TV.
05:44Thank you so much.
05:46UH also gave free laptops
05:49for students in need.
05:52And free school bags for students.
05:56Thank you so much, guys.
05:58Most of all, Unang Hirit became a reality
06:01to change the lives of some students
06:04who can't finish their studies.
06:07Just like 19-year-old Allen.
06:11In 2019, I thought,
06:13what if I share my story
06:15what was the reason why I stopped going to school.
06:19I also told how I decided to stop going to school
06:25and then prioritize my work
06:27so that I can help my family.
06:31Allen was a working student
06:33and he had a hard time every year
06:35while studying and working at the same time.
06:39Every year is different
06:41because the first year
06:43I thought it's the hardest
06:45because I have to adjust.
06:47I'm not used to it.
06:49The first year is first and second sem.
06:52It's so hard because I only sleep for two hours every day.
06:55On Saturday and Sunday when there's no class,
06:57I'm still busy with school activities.
07:00Because of his story,
07:02Allen was chosen to receive the college scholarship
07:05of Unang Hirit in 2019.
07:07Despite being a Unang Hirit scholar,
07:10Allen continued to be a working student.
07:13He strived to get good grades
07:16even if it's tiring and tiring.
07:19That's why in college,
07:20I said, I've been studying for the last four years.
07:23Why didn't I give it all?
07:24So even if I only sleep for two hours,
07:26sometimes I don't have time to rest
07:31because other than school and work,
07:33at that time,
07:35I had other responsibilities in the church.
07:38So I said, it's okay.
07:40At least I'm healthy.
07:41My family is healthy.
07:42No one is sick.
07:44Allen considered the scholarship of Unang Hirit
07:47as one of the greatest blessings from God.
07:51When the scholar gave me Unang Hirit,
07:54I grabbed it right away.
07:55And then, I didn't have to pay for school.
07:58All the tuition fees and all,
08:01the program paid for me.
08:03It's a huge help because
08:04what I earned from work,
08:06I will help my family.
08:10And after four years,
08:12Allen graduated as a magna cum laude
08:16in the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management
08:20this July 2024.
08:22Maybe words are not enough
08:24to thank Unang Hirit.
08:27Of course,
08:28if I really absorbed what my relatives said before
08:32that once I can earn money,
08:34maybe I won't be able to study anymore.
08:37So I didn't foresee,
08:39or maybe I didn't see myself now
08:42that I already finished my studies.
08:45Plus, there are still Latin owners.
08:47Without the help of Unang Hirit.
08:50Currently, Allen is working in a hotel
08:53as a sales support specialist.
09:00Within 25 years,
09:03Unang Hirit has become an important part of our morning.
09:07Good morning!
09:08Luzon Visayas, Middanao.
09:10From delivering the hottest and correct news
09:14to giving hope
09:16to the people in need and suffering.
