Career

Sumangil was a production assistant and researcher of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs for three years, before moving to GMA Network in 2004 as a writer and producer of GMA Public Affairs programs' segments. [1] [2] [3] He eventually reassigned to a field journalist covering criminal activities exclusively, [4] [5] drawing inspiration from then-GMA Integrated News reporter Michael Fajatin. [1] Sumangil's scoops particularly included the newscast 24 Oras 's "Justiis: Condominium Behind Bars", which focused on Santa Rosa City District Jail's crowds. It received a nomination for a Golden Nymph Award. [5] In 2017, he contributed the "Sa Pusod ng Digmaan" documentary in i-Witness . [6]

News TV Quick Response Team , a newscast in which an anchor was "on-the-scene" within the present-day events, marked Sumangil's first anchoring stint in 2018. With his blessing, he replaced Jiggy Manicad, who left the network to run for senator in 2019. [7] [8] [9] Sumangil co-hosted the magazine program Dapat Alam Mo! from 2021 to 2023, alongside Kim Atienza and Patricia Tumulak. [10] [11] Program manager Mon Torres assigned Sumangil after News TV Quick Response Team was ended due to GMA News TV's programming changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. [12] [13] Drawing from his music hobby, as well as given his traditional occupation, Sumangil stated that he had a unique persona for the program. [14]

In May 2023, Sumangil hosted the investigative public service show Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso . As his first solo program, it focuses on giving a resolution of community problems in the Philippines. Sumangil had doubts about becoming a successor to broadcaster Mike Enriquez. [a] He joined 24 Oras as a regular anchor in November 2023. [2] During Enriquez's medical leave before his death, Sumangil temporarily worked on the newscast, [16] and thought that this could prepare him for an opportunity to pursue it permanently. He accepted the offer after having newscasting lessons. [17] Sumangil described his position on 24 Oras as an aspiration during his early career. [5]

Personal life

Sumangil is married with two children. He serves as a reader at a Roman Catholic parish in Mandaluyong. [1]
