Gising na, Unang Hirit na! 

For 26 years, Unang Hirit (UH) has been the nation’s morning companion, bringing early news, fresh energy, and true public service to millions of Filipinos. As it celebrates its 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 communities. And this year’s anniversary celebration is bigger, braver, and more exciting than ever.

To mark this milestone, the kickoff of its 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

UH begins its 26th year with major surprises – UNEXPECTED GUESTS and hostmates! This year, UH has already made waves with the introduction of new hostmates, and on its anniversary, even more stars are joining the morning party – different personalities, different vibes that the viewers won’t see coming.

Sorpresa Projects

UH has been rolling out exciting SorpresaProjects leading up to the anniversary—projects that are real (not ghosts), transparent, and meaningful. It had Project Full Tank, which offered free fuel for tricycle drivers, and Project Free Palengke, a market where everything was free.

And for its 26th anniversary, the surprises grow even bigger with PASKO PROJECT—a special Christmas surprise for Cebu residents affected by Bagyong Tino. With many families still staying in evacuation centers and unsure of how they’ll celebrate Christmas, PASKO PROJECT aims to bring the season’s warmth, joy, and surprise right to them.

Christmas-Serye

Because it’s the holiday season, expect fun, and feel-good Christmas Serye gimmicks!

The Christmas Serye continues in Baguio, bringing stories of warmth, family, and the magic of Christmas straight from the country’s Summer Capital.

Catch ‘Unang Hirit‘ weekdays at 5:30 a.m. on GMA. Global Pinoys can watch it via GMA Pinoy TV.
