Damayan Ngayon, also known as Damayan is a Philippine public service talk show program, and is one of the longest-running public service programs in the country. The first incarnation of the show was hosted by veteran actress and Philippine Red Cross member Rosa Rosal and William Thio, which first ran on ABS-CBN from October 20, 1969, until it closed down on September 21, 1972, as a telethon, and was revived on December 1, 1975, and aired on GTV (which later became MBS, NBN and PTV) until November 20, 2010, after merely 35 years. The second incarnation of the show premiered on PTV on October 6, 2017, and now airs every Fridays. It was hosted by Thio, and new host Emilie Katigbak. [1] [2]

Rosal decided to revive her old show on GMA. Damayan once again premiered in the same year on GTV Channel 4 (which later became MBS, PTV and NBN) to provide humanitarian work through national television, together with her co-host William Thio. [3]

At the same time, Rosal hosted a drama anthology Ulila on government-owned network BBC-2 from 1976 to 1980, and Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko on GMA—these particular shows earned Rosal numerous citations such as the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service in 1999, Order of the Golden Heart in 2006, and the Ading Fernando Lifetime Achievement Award in the 22nd PMPC Star Awards for TV. [2] [4]

After 35 continuous years on the airwaves, Rosal announced that she would be leaving the show. It ended on November 20, 2010. [5]

Concept and legacy

Damayan featured mostly doctors and other personalities to discuss advancements in health and public service. It also hosted telethons to provide financial aid to those who are in need such as typhoon victims, those with no medical assistance and others[ which? ]. [1] [6]
