To all fans in the house, we have great news to everyone. Kuya Daniel Razon is hosting new programs on UNTV. Here they are –
In what may be considered yet another motor sports program in our local television programming, but Kuya Daniel Razon’s new show titled simply as MANIBELA is different.
The program promises to take us into another perspective of motoring to provide: analyses of new and upcoming vehicles, recommendations of the best ones fit for different walks of life, practical troubleshooting guides, driver’s survival kit tips, and a lot more on what every motorist needs to know about their vehicles.
There is also an added twist in this show because public service is highlighted. With that, the one dubbed as Mr. Public Service is the most logical person to host this new program. Kuya Daniel is a broadcasting extraordinaire, a sportsman, and the man behind some of the most unique charity projects in the Philippines, such as the daily services being provided for free in his Clinic ni Kuya and Botika ni Kuya. He is also the brainchild of the Free Bus Ride, Free MRT Ride for Senior Citizens, Free Airfare for OFWs, Free Transient Home and other more projects,
The show is every Sunday, from 5 to 5:30 p.m.
In DITO PO SA AMIN, a 30-minute program every Sunday at 5:30 p.m., Kuya Daniel will take us in trip to different places in town to showcase the true face of every hometown.
Compared with other travel shows, Dito Po sa Amin highlights the character of the city or town manifested by its people, culture, tourism and economic condition under the incumbent leadership of the place.
The program aims to promote a sense of appreciation for hometowns, and to educate people about what to expect and love in one’s native land.
Kuya Daniel is also host of Spotlight, Munting Pangarap, and the early morning public service-magazine program, Good Morning Kuya! He also hosts newscasts of Hataw Balita and Ito ang Balita. At around 8 p.m., he hosts the Bible-reading program, Mapalad ang Bumabasa.
Kenyan Willy Tanui captured his second major running title in the Philippines on Sunday as he ruled the 1st Kahit Isang Araw Lang-Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
Tanui, winner of the Cebu City Marathon last Jan. 10, nosed out compatriot Kiberess Kember for the title, pouncing on the latter’s “miscalculation” of laps in the 21-K race.
Tanui clocked a winning one hour and 14 minutes en route to the champion’s prize of P30,000.
Kember was 14 seconds off Tanui, good for second place and P20,000 prize, even as Alley Quisay emerged as the best Filipino finisher at third place with 1:19:06 for P10,000 cash.
“I was supposed to win but I made a mistake because I thought I needed one more lap. But it turned out that I was supposed to head straight for the finish line. I ran back but it was too late,” a disappointed Kember said.
Miscelle Gilbuena, another champion in the recent Cebu Marathon, emerged the runaway winner in the distaff side with 1:40:09 for P30,000.
A far second was Ana Vargas with 2:11:10 while Vanessa Napay took third with 2:12:07.
Competitions were also held in the 10K, 5K and 3K distances with Alquin Bolivar and Nhea Ann Barcena topping the 10K races for P20,000 each.
Justin Tabunda won two divisions – the 5K and 3K races – as the two events were flagged off at an hour interval.
The former Palarong Pambansa veteran thus went home with P17,000 prize for his two titles.
Adjennie Delos Santos ruled the women’s 10K race while Luisa Yambao topped the 3K race for cash prizes of P10,000 and P7,000, respectively.
Featuring 50,500 runners, the race aimed to generate funds for the free college education program of UNTV’s Kamanggagawa Foundation. – GMANews.TV

Hataw na sa panga-ngampanya ang mga pulitikong kakandidato sa darating na eleksyon bitbit ang mga pangako na iaahon tayo sa kahirapan ang ating mga kababayan at magandang edukasyon para sa mga kabataan.
Ito ay puro pangako pa lamang at hindi tayo nakasisiguro kung magkakaroon ng katuparan.
Mas naniniwala pa ako kay Kuya Daniel Razon, tinaguriang “Mr. Public Service,” dahil mas nauuna ang gawa kaysa sa ngawa.
Tulad ng pangarap ni-yang makapagbigay ng lib-reng edukasyon sa mahihirap na kabataan. Ang hindi natin alam, mayroon na pala siyang paaralan sa Pampanga na nagbibigay ng libreng edukasyon sa elementary, high school at kolehiyo, na ang gagawin na lang ng mga estudyante ay papasok na lang dahil kumpleto sila sa libro, uniform at pati sa pagkain.
Sa darating na pasukan ay bubuksan na rin ni Kuya Daniel at ng kanyang Kamaanggagawa Foundation ang La Verdad Christian College sa Calookan City na magbibigay din ng libreng college education para sa mahihirap na kabataan, na ang tanging pagbabasehan ay totoong mahirap at interesadong makatapos ng pag-aaral.
…
Dahil sa adhikaing ito ay naisip nilang itakda ang “Takbo Para Sa Libreng Kolehiyo” sa January 31 sa SM Mall of Asia kung saan ang malilikom na pondo mula sa tinatarget na 50,000 lalahok sa marathon ay idaragdag sa naturang pro-yekto.

P.S. Hmm… I bet most of you have heard the news! Kuya Daniel Razon leads a Twitter Awards Competition. For those who have not voted yet, now is the time to visit http://shortyawards.com/danielrazon to cast your votes! :)
Despite their non-commercial formats, UNTV shows were highly commended by the Anak TV foundation in eight of its shows.
Awarded recently were two of Kuya Daniel Razon’s programs, Good Morning Kuya and Munting Pangarap. On the other hand, other UNTV shows given honors were Kaagapay, Bread N’ Butter, Doc on TV, Sports37, Istorya, and Serbisyo Publiko.
The Anak TV Foundation (Southeast Asian Foundation for Children and Television) aims to promote media literacy for young viewers through child-sensitive and family-friendly TV programs in the country.

Leading the UNTV pack of eight programs on the awards night of December 8, 2009 at the Soka Gakkai Auditorium in Quezon City was Good Morning Kuya (GMK). This is an almost 5-hour public service program hosted in the morning by Daniel Razon, UNTV executive. Through GMK, the free-service projects of Razon that cater to the public, are being materialized. Razon is known for his Isang Araw Lang (Just One Day) movement that encourages every public servant to donate even just a day for genuine service to the community.
The show’s setting is such that it is low-key, with an appeal to the masses with its barangay-like atmosphere, given its pondahan segment. Pondahan in this set-up is a sari-sari store with a public plaza where people gather and talk about the affairs of the day from politics to day-to-day concerns. After amenities, they sing a song that comes out more like an editorial of the day, touching on talk-of-the-town issues in the hope that there will be changes.
Incorporated in the program is the one-and-a-half hour straight news, Hataw Balita that Razon himself anchors along with colleague Aida Gonzales.
GMK that airs every Monday to Friday, 4:45 AM to 9:00 AM, has already been awarded by several award-giving bodies prior to the Anak TV Awards.
A program with the same objective of helping the less fortunate in the country is Kaagapay hosted by Annie Rentoy, Dr. Manny Saguin, and Rolly Gonzallo. The program continuously delivers the diverse public-services of Razon such as the medical-dental mission being brought to various parts of the country through Kilos ni Kuya Daniel project. The free services of the program extend up to fellow countrymen detained in jails. This is aired in the station every Monday to Friday, 4:30 PM.
In-line with the public-service shows of UNTV is another Anak TV Seal awarded program, Munting Pangarap, hosted as well by Daniel Razon. The show’s format is about granting the wishes or requests of the poor Filipino citizens in their destitute state. It is being aired every Tuesday, 7:00 PM
Incumbent Anak TV Foundation President Bob Del Rosario said that there were a total of 54 TV programs including 8 of UNTV programs recognized by the Foundation that had awarded their seal.
Bread N’ Butter, a livelihood magazine program that is hosted by Arlene Razon, Kitt Meily, and Rodel Flordeliz, is also an Anak TV Seal Awarded show of UNTV. Bread N’ Butter gives tips in business, job-hunting, and practical lifestyle. The show airs every Friday, 5:30 PM.
A medical-oriented show, Doc on TV, discusses issues and information regarding medical and health matters. This is hosted by Dr. Edwin Bien and Rhea Horilleno every Sunday, 7 AM and is another UNTV Anak TV Seal awarded show.
Purely sports matters, like techniques and tips are being tackled in Sports37 that is hosted by Ryan Ramos every Sunday, 7:00 PM. Meanwhile ISTORYA, hosted by Bernard Dais and Loffrey Javier, is a feature show that addresses real stories and relevant social problems. It airs every Tuesday, 5:30 PM.
Serbisyo Publiko, on the other hand deals purely with public service matters mostly concerning issues that needs action from local to national government officials and airs every Wednesday, 7:00 PM.
Bro. Eliseo Soriano of Ang Dating Daan and the organization he is leading have been part of these free public-services along with the Kamanggagawa Foundation, Inc. Bro. Eli’s program is also presently being aired in UNTV.
It was not a typical celebration. Kuya Daniel Razon’s celebration of his fruitful 26 years in public service confirmed even more his title Mr. Public Service.
Thankful for reaching 26 years as a public servant
For his 26th-year as a public servant, Kuya Daniel chooses to have a charity event, Up Close, that benefited the Movie Writers’ Welfare Foundation (MWWF) headed by Ms. Emy Abuan. The exclusive one night gathering also highlighted the launching of his new coffee table book, Wild and the awarding of his platinum record album, Isang Araw Lang.

Proceeds of Up Close will also be used to augment the financial needs of his free daily public services, including the soon-to-rise free college, the La Verdad Christian College.
“Nakakawala ng pagod,” Mr. Public Service’s first few words after seeing the warm greetings from the crowd last November 30, 2009 at the Palacio de Maynila, Malate, Manila. With all his public service works on and off the camera, it was a relief to hear Kuya Daniel say those words.
The venue was filled with his supporters who were all elated to see him that night in his casual white polo. His beautiful wife Arlene Razon, creative director of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International Inc., was also seen in the crowd wearing a long white top. She joins her husband on stage as he sang Isang Araw Lang and after that bid him with a kiss, which made the crowd ecstatic.
Comedian Roderick Paulate, one of Kuya’s closest friends, surprised him and went to the celebration to greet him personally despite his other commitments as a running public official. Greetings from his family were shown in a video presentation hosted by the comedian.
The testimonials of how incredible a man of God Kuya Daniel is, overflowed that night.
The international televangelist, Bro. Eli Soriano of The Old Path (Ang Dating Daan) testified how Kuya Daniel is as a son. “I thank God that I have a son. I saw in him a good conscience. What I can say about the Isang Araw Lang (Just One Day) campaign, it’s an eye opener to men how much they can do for 30 days, for 365 days, more so a lifetime of doing good. We can do greater things for a lifetime.”
Because of his campaign, broadcaster Willie Espiritu didn’t smoke for a time, which resulted to his feeding the 500-800 kids after summarizing all the expenses he incurred from smoking in a year. Kuya Daniel advised him in a light manner to continue resisting the temptation of smoking. The crowd laughs as if concurring to Kuya’s advice.
“Yung puso namin, tinuruan mong maging mabuti,” Espiritu expressed.
Kuya Daniel is thankful to God for his 26 years in service to humanity. Before the celebration ended, he blew the candle on his three layered cake marking another blessed day of selfless service.
Manny Pacquiao, world-reknown international Filipino boxer
When and if Manny Pacquiao remains as an ordinary citizen and follows the vision he set for himself to achieve – that is, to help many poor Filipinos out of their miseries, he may have something to be proud of. And this feat may at least be compared to the way life has been going for Kuya Daniel Razon – best known for his massive public service endeavors, minus a public government office role (even though he won a seat).
Manny Pacquiao’s victory makes every Filipino proud. He has established a good sportsman’s stature all over the globe. He has shown his generosity and kindness by sharing some of his take home money to his fellow Filipinos.
However, recent reports have it that he is now inching to earning a place in government, after declaring bid to run as congressman in his hometown. His plans have divided people, with majority clamoring for him to stay the same man he’s been known by people – a boxer and an ordinary citizen.
One internationally-renowned writer, who commented on Manny Pacquiao’s bid to run in the 2010 Elections, calls on the international boxing sensation that being a politician is is not the way to ending our society’s misery and poverty and to helping many people. That writer is F. Sionil Jose, whose Philippine Star article may be read here.
Kuya Daniel Razon, best-known for his numerous public service efforts
Like some people with the means and resources to help, Manny thought the key to realizing his dream of rendering true public service is by earning a seat in government. And this brings to mind what Kuya Daniel Razon once said. He stressed that a government position is not a prerequisite to do public service. His advocacy, Isang Araw Lang (Just One Day), proves that there are a million ways to provide assistance for our indigent countrymen.
May sincere public service abound to this blessed country!

For most people, Sunday is a day of relaxation but for Kuya Daniel Razon, it’s another perfect day to spend it in service to the people.

With the fully-equipped ADD Mobile Clinic present, volunteer doctors and nurses were able to serve successfully over 1000 residents, according to Rico Sison, medical team coordinator in Batangas.

The health service is writ large of all his free public services reaching as far as Mindanao.
Batangeños were all thrilled to see Mr. Public Service in his comfortable civilian smart attire on a Sunday. The whole day affair went on perfectly just like any working day in the Clinic ni Kuya aired on his morning show, Good Morning Kuya! where hundreds of people come in daily to avail of the free medical services: general checkup, laboratory services, dental services, dermatology, pediatric services and minor surgery, among others.
Because of his humanitarian efforts, Kuya Daniel has been nominated to receive the National Thank You Day Award. Other nominees include internationally-acclaimed boxer Manny Pacquiao, the late musician rapper Francis Magalona, Philippine comedy icon Dolphy, CNN’s Top 10 Heroes of 2009 Efren Peñaflorida, globally-recognized film director Brillante Mendoza, multi-faceted performer Lea Salonga. The late Cory Aquino received the award with 119 votes. Kuya Daniel got the second highest votes with 107. Once again, thank you for all who voted for our dear Kuya Daniel.

A true public servant knows no restrictions of day or time. Even his sports tournament-for-a-cause, such as the recent Isang Araw Lang badminton play-offs were done on Sundays.
Hello fellow Fans of Kuya Daniel Razon!
I am so excited to share with you the good news about our dear “Kuya Daniel”. After the success of his Brush and Shutter exhibit for a cause here are the two PMPC Star Awards nominations for UNTV37’s Good Morning Kuya! Hooray!!!
It’s official – Kuya Daniel Razon and his hit morning show Good Morning, Kuya! receive much-deserved nomination slots in the prestigious 23rd Star Awards for Television.
Kuya Daniel is out to prove that God-given talents, hard work, and creativity make him a deserving nominee for the Best Morning Show Host category. Good Morning, Kuya! is also shortlisted as Best Morning Show by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC).
Good Morning, Kuya! is the brainchild of renowned broadcaster and Mr. Public Service Kuya Daniel Razon. Click here to read more.
And to make us all happier… here’s the Manila Bulletin’s report on Kuya Daniel’s Gold Record Album…
Multi-talented TV personality Daniel Razon is jubilant that his latest album “Isang Araw Lang” has gone gold with about 12 thousand copies immediately put out by request. This he told the Manila Bulletin during a recent ribbon cutting to open a new business centre under his care called BMPI.
His 10-song album containing 90% covers is actually led by the original title track that also serves as theme song to a film project of the same name. However, the brilliant cover choices from the past decade have helped ensured its power being easy-to-like.
His gentlemanly voice may not be considered that exceptional but the sincerity of the singing and the great melodies that carried it along seized a strength good enough to produce good sales.
(Broadcaster’s CD hits gold, Yugel Losorata, October 28, 2009) More here.
A sincere public servant with a good heart blessed with many talents, we wish Kuya Daniel all the best!
Go Kuya Daniel! :)
