She said maintaining trustworthiness is always a priority for GMA Network, noting that “a lot of effort and resources are put behind maintaining our credibility.
” Bautista underscored the critical role of GMA, as the leading TV network in the Philippines, in providing the Filipino people with quick and truthful news, especially as the current media landscape remains challenged by alarming disinformation forces. “I think at the heart of what GMA does is really genuine public service.
