Hoy Gising! - Origin and Style

Origin and Style

Hoy Gising! is a public service program that started on TV Patrol as a segment handled by the Late Frankie Evangelista. It then grew into a half-hour program (later extended to an hour) chiefly anchored by Kris Aquino, Ted Failon, and Korina Sanchez. But the formula remained the same: the program tackling on all sorts of problems associated with the government, as well as social issues. The difference between the show and others of its kind is its semi-humorous method of commenting on the issues and problems it featured, and urging those concerned to "wake up." It also had a mambo-themed opening song performed by The Kumbancheros.

Famous quotes containing the words origin and/or style:

    There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx’s Capital.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body—both go together, they can’t be separated.
    Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
