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.
