Hoy Gising! Kapamilya T3: Kapatid Sagot Kita On Call: Serbisyong Totoo. Ngayon. Failon Ngayon |
Hoy Gising! (English: Hey! Wake Up!) was a TV segment on ABS-CBN. Originally part of the flagship national network news broadcast TV Patrol, it eventually evolved into a legendary long-running public service program. Three years later, Hoy Gising! revived the program again for Saturday afternoon airings as Hoy Gising! Kapamilya.
Hoy Gising! was a public service program that began on TV Patrol as a segment handled by the late Frankie Evangelista. It then grew into a half-hour program (later extended to an hour) chiefly anchored by Kris Aquino, Ted Failon, and Korina Sanchez. The formula remained the same: tackling all sorts of problems associated with the government, as well as social issues. The difference between the show and others of its kind was its semi-humorous method of commenting on the issues and problems it featured, and urging those concerned to "wake up."
The show was directed by Rolly G. Reyes. He wrote the lyrics of the theme song (which is ironically set to the tune of Shame and Scandal by Trini Lopez), and created the segment titles. The show had a mambo-themed opening song performed by The Kumbancheros.
