Bandila's waving on air
For further dissemination of information, ABS-CBN has created its newest and different kind of news program, the "Bandila".
Bandila is a late evening news anchored by most prominent newscasters of the network namely Korina Sanchez, Ces Drilon and Henry Omaga Diaz. Each anchors has established name in the field of reporting, adding to the program's credibility. The program focuses on current national events thus implying a sense of nationalism. Its background, flag of the Philippines, also touches the nationalistic side of the program which makes the viewers feel that they are Filipinos and they must be aware of the current events happening in the country.
It's interesting that it is not only a mere news program that reports for the sake of reporting. In some sense, it is an investigative reporting. Both sides of the issue are presented and the background of that certain story is also provided. Thus making it reliable. Bandila has somewhat diverted its direction as a news program. Besides its unusual late evening news timeslot which is 10:30 pm, Bandila has its unique sense of delivering the news. Unlike, 24 oras and TV Patrol World which only reports on what happened and who is involved, Bandila gives more detail to a story and explains it further. More people involved will be interviewed making the story full in a sense and more exciting.
However, though it seems that the program is credible and reliable, one thing I didn't like about the program is the fact that they produced reenactment when they have no actual footages. I think this may affect Bandila's credibility for the viewers might think that they just merely recreate important events. I also didn't appreciate the program's sound effects as background of the story. For me, it is disturbing. And another thing is that there's so much color in it. Though making the delivery alive, I suggest they restrain from producing much color in the background. The program also put much emphasis on its lead items, I think they should also give a deeper reporting on other topics.
As a whole, I think the newest program of ABS-CBN will become effective and may catch the heart of the viewers. With its early timeslot compared to other evening news, probably more people will watch this program making it stay on air.
