For 26 years, Unang Hirit has been part of Filipinos’ mornings, bringing early news, fresh energy, and true public service to millions of Filipinos. And as we celebrate our 26th anniversary, the shout rings louder than ever: GISING NA, UNANG HIRIT NA!
UH has never been just about waking people up. It’s also about waking Filipinos to hard truths that matter, from corruption to everyday concerns of our communities. And this year’s anniversary celebration is bigger, braver, and more exciting than ever.
To mark this milestone, the kickoff of our 26th anniversary also serves as UH’s Christmas kickoff – the first day of Christmas on Unang Hirit, setting the tone for a week filled with holiday cheer.
BIG GUESTS & HOSTMATES
We’re kicking off our 26th year with major surprises – UNEXPECTED GUESTS and hostmates! This year, UH has already made waves with the introduction of new hostmates, and for the anniversary, even more stars are joining the morning party. Different personalities, different vibes – TRUST US, YOU WON’T SEE IT COMING.
SORPRESA PROJECTS
UH has been rolling out exciting Sorpresa Projects leading up to the anniversary—projects that are real (not ghosts), transparent, and meaningful. From Project Full Tank, which offered free fuel for tricycle drivers, to Project Free Palengke, a market where everything was free.
And for this anniversary, the surprises get even bigger with PASKO PROJECT—a special Christmas surprise for Cebu residents affected by Bagyong Tino. With many families still in evacuation centers and uncertain about how they’ll celebrate Christmas, PASKO PROJECT aims to bring the season’s warmth, joy, and surprises directly to them.
Here’s another clue for an upcoming surprise: SOMETHING TO DO WITH REMOTE CONTROL!
CHRISTMAS-SERYE
Because it’s the holiday season, expect fun and feel-good Christmas Serye gimmicks!
Our Christmas serye continues in Baguio, bringing stories of warmth, family, and the magic of Christmas straight from the country’s Summer Capital.
UH viewers, get ready for surprises and prizes! Tune in every weekday morning and celebrate 26 amazing years with us. GISING NA… UNANG HIRIT NA!
