Daniel S. Razon (born October 11, 1967) is a television and radio host in the Philippines. He is also the assistant overall servant (minister) of the Members Church of God International.
From 1987 until 1988, Daniel Razon started as a FM disc jockey at DWKY and DWST. Then he shifted to television first as newscaster on PTV4’s Pangunahing Balita and Balita Ala-Una, and host of the public-affairs programs Ang Pandayan ni Mang Pandoy and Dakila Ka Pinoy (1993 to 1997). He was also the executive producer and director of the public-affairs program of IBC-13, Ikaw ang Humatol (1994–1997).
From 1997 to 2003, Daniel moved to another TV station, ABS-CBN and became the host/newscaster of numerous TV shows such as Hoy, Gising (Hey! Wake Up!),Pulso, Aksyon, and Balita. Soon, he was seen worldwide via ANC (ABS-CBN’s sister station) as newscaster/anchorman for Dateline News (1998 to 2000) and as program host of Kumusta Ka, Bayan on The Filipino Channel (TFC). During those years he was also an anchor for the TV show Gising Pilipinas (1997–2003) and Usapang de Campanilla (2000 to 2003) over dzMM.
In 2003 Daniel moved to rival network GMA-7 where he became one of the hosts of Unang Hirit and anchor of Unang Balita, the show’s news segment. He left GMA in 2005.
On June 16, 2005, it was reported in the Manila Bulletin that Razon was forced to resign from GMA for the network "to maintain its neutrality in the midst of the on-going bitter conflict between the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ; INC) and the Members Church of God International (ADD). At that time, Razon was the Vice Presiding Minister of MCGI, and that the network had been receiving text messages from both Iglesia ni Cristo and Ang Dating Daan members, each accusing the other of wrongdoing. GMA "felt being placed in the middle of such conflict will not serve its best interest and decided to let go of Razon." The source of INC's complaint stemmed from a Razon's pronouncement in MCGI's doctrinal activity in which "You can see demons in Net 25 (a network owned by INC members)." Razon was quoted in the MCGI website that "I’d rather lose everything than to lose God" in reaction to the conflict he was facing regarding his job in "Unang Hirit" and in ADD.
