24 Oras Davao, formerly Testigo and 24 Oras Southern Mindanao, is a regional news program aired over GMA Davao. It provides news and features primarily around Davao City and the entire Southern Mindanao. It also covers the Soccsksargen regions, North Cotabato and Maguindanao provinces (including Kidapawan City and Cotabato City) and Surigao del Sur of Caraga (including Tandag City and Bislig City even they're moved from the now-defunct spin-off newscast of GMA Northern Mindanao 24 Oras Northern Mindanao (formerly Testigo Northern Mindanao) after it was abruptly cancelled one year ago). The newscast airs from Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM with its broadcast center located at Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City. It is also simulcast over radio slightly-delayed basis on via DXGM 1125 AM.
Its main newscaster is Tek Ocampo, he started with Testigo in 1999 and made a name as a national reporter for GMA News when he left the show in 2002. After his stint with GMA Manila, he came back to Davao to anchor the program once more.
To strengthen its commitment of bringing the latest, most credible and most comprehensive news from the region, in February 2013, the newscast started its international broadcast on GMA News TV International alongside other regional newscasts Balitang Amianan and Balitang Bisdak.
Testigo ended its 15-year run on November 7, 2014 as it adopts the branding of its now-main newscast 24 Oras as 24 Oras Southern Mindanao effective November 10, following their change of graphics and theme music of the network's flagship newscast of the same name.
