Emil Sumangil takes on a new mission as he officially becomes part of the award-winning newscast “24 Oras” as one of its main anchors.
Sumangil has been in the broadcast journalism industry for the past 20 years. He was formally introduced as “24 Oras” anchor in a contract signing held last November 20 at the Studio 5 of GMA.
Present during the signing were GMA chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon; president and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr.; and SVP and head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
Sumangil has been at the forefront of major stories many times, covering exclusive after exclusive of the biggest headlines of the day. He is known for immersing in the plight of the everyday Pinoy and helping their concerns be heard, thus earning the “Kapuso Action Man’’ moniker.
“Buong pagpapakumbaba, sa ngalan po ng aking pamilya, tanggapin ninyo ang taos sa puso kong pasasalamat sa pagkakataon at pribilehiyo na ipinagkatiwala ninyo. Hindi ko po ito sasayangin at aabusuhin, bagkus aking pang pagyayamamin for God and country,” he said.
GMA’s top management has recognized Sumangil’s dedication and hard work as one of GMA Integrated News’ most trusted broadcast journalists.
“Talagang magaling si Emil hindi lang na reporter, anchor ng news at public affairs program,” said Atty. Gozon, saying that Sumangil perfectly fits the position of one of “24 Oras” anchors. “He more than deserves the appointment at malayo pa ang kanyang mararating sa trabaho,” he added.
Emil has been a regular pinch-hitter to GMA Network’s flagship newscast “24 Oras.” As news anchor, he joins Mel Tiangco and Vicky Morales in delivering the latest news, breaking stories, as well as the biggest events here and abroad via 24 Oras. And together with “Chika Minute” segment host Iya Villana-Arellano, “#KuyaKimAnoNa” segment host Kim Atienza, weather presenter Maureen Schrijvers, and “Game Changer” segment host Martin Javier — Sumangil finally completes the reinforced line-up of “24 Oras.”
