History
Established in 1959 as the radio news and commentary division of Metro Manila radio station DZBB, GMA News is one of the oldest news and public affairs departments in any Philippine media network. Throughout its long existence, it pioneered trends in radio and TV news gathering and current affairs production.
In October 2022, following the retirement of Marissa Flores as the head of GMA News and Public Affairs, GMA Public Affairs was spun out into a separate division, and GMA News was subsequently renamed "GMA Integrated News" under the leadership of Oliver Victor Amoroso. The rebranding was intended to emphasize the combined resources of its television, digital, radio, and regional platforms.[2]
On March 30, 2026, the "GMA Integrated News" branding was dropped in favour of simply "GMA News" again, while also reviving its historic Serbisyong Totoo slogan which has been used since 2002.[3] Vice President of News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva was appointed as the Officer-in-Charge of GMA News following the early retirement of Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
Campaigns
GMA Weather (formerly IMReady and GMA Integrated News Weather Center)
The GMA Weather is the news division's weather forecasting subdivision originally launched in 2010 as IMReady, a public safety and preparedness campaign of GMA News and Public Affairs. IMReady is the country's first 24/7, one-stop shop for public safety information.[4]
IMReady was forged through a partnership between GMA and several government agencies including DOST-PAGASA and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). It also draws support from GMA's collaboration with Google and Waze.[5]
In 2014, GMA New Media, the technology and digital arm of GMA launched the mobile application IMReady wherein users can see real-time information and updates including weather, traffic situations, and news alerts. It is available on iOS and Android phones.[6]
As part of the changes within GMA Integrated News, IMReady was renamed to GMA Integrated News Weather Center in 2023, focusing on weather forecasting with an 'expanded' roster of forecasters, succeeding Nathaniel Cruz, who retired as its resident meteorologist.[7]
Think Before You Click
The social media responsibility campaign "Think Before You Click" by GMA News and Public Affairs was spearheaded by former GMA Vice President for Professional Development and journalist Howie Severino, reminding netizens to be responsible with every click they make on social media or anywhere online.[8][9] The campaign was honored with the 2011 Civility Star Award by the Civility Counts Project; and was awarded with the Safe Surfer Award in the 2012 Globe Tatt Awards.[10][11]
