00:00As a continuation of our efforts to expand the reach of the People's Television Network,
00:07following the opening of our Regional Center in Cotabato, BARMM,
00:11the PTV Regional Center in Legazpi, Albay will also open.
00:16And to give more details about this, we will be joined live from Legazpi City, Albay,
00:24Sheila Salaisay. Sheila, good morning! How are you in Legazpi?
00:30Good morning, Diane!
00:32And of course, we will be witnessing a very exciting event
00:37because after 7 years, PTV Legazpi will be back on-air.
00:43The inauguration of the newly-constructed PTV Regional Center is expected to take place at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
00:52The reopening is part of the goal of the People's Television Network
00:55to continue to bring confusing information to the entire Philippines.
01:01Just a little background, PTV-8 Legazpi first opened in 2010 to 2017
01:08where it is operated by a private counterpart with local programming
01:12where it has its own transmitter located in Washington Drive here in Legazpi.
01:17In 2022, the PTV Station will be built in Estanza, Legazpi, Albay
01:22after a Memorandum of Agreement signing by Misivis Land Incorporated and PTV Network.
01:29A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held, a ceremony of sign-on and signing
01:34for the inauguration of PTV Legazpi.
01:38One of the celebrations is Hon. Alfredo Garg, Jr., Mayor of Legazpi City,
01:43and Hon. Glenda Ongbongao, the Governor of the Province of Albay.
01:48Some PTV officials will also be present,

01:54Mr. Joselito Tangol from the Engineering Division,
01:58Engineer Gil Orense, PTV Chief Digital and Innovation Officer,
02:02and of course, PTV General Manager Antonio Tobi Nebrida, Jr.
02:07The PTV-4 Legazpi will serve as a platform for Legazpi and Albay
02:13to hold local programs that will serve as a means
02:16to hear the voices and wishes of our Bicolano fellowmen
02:21who are united in delivering information to the people.
02:25Our General Manager Antonio Tobi Nebrida arrived yesterday,
02:30around 3 p.m., and we followed him to Daraga Airport.
02:36But from yesterday morning until now,
02:39it's been raining heavily and the wind is strong here.
02:41It's expected that the weather will be good for a while,
02:44but we will lay an egg first, just in case.
02:48First, from Legazpi, Dianne.
02:51Hey Sheila, we're waiting for the official go-on-air of PTV Legazpi,
02:57but I want to ask you, Sheila,
02:59have you been to Legazpi?
03:02Have you tried the chili ice cream?
03:06Have you tried the Bicol Express?
03:07If you've been to Legazpi, what do you think?
03:09How was it?
03:10Did you roam around the place?
03:14You know, we had the opportunity to try, of course,
03:18the original, legit Bicol Express and Laing here in Bicol,
03:22and we won't be the last ones.
03:24And the Level 5 chili ice cream that I tried yesterday
03:29in Kagsawa Ruins.
03:31There's no tolerance for spiciness.
