The story
Established in 1959 as the radio news and commentary division of Metro Manila radio station DZBB, GMA News is one of the oldest news and public affairs departments in any Philippine media network. Throughout its long existence, it pioneered trends in radio and TV news gathering and current affairs production.
In October 2022, following the retirement of Marissa Flores as the head of GMA News and Public Affairs, the public affairs division was spun-off as GMA Public Affairs, and the news division was subsequently renamed "GMA Integrated News" under the leadership of Integrated News, Regional TV and Synergy head Oliver Victor B. Amoroso. The rebranding was intended to emphasize the combined resources of its television, digital, radio, and regional platforms.
On March 30, 2026, the "GMA Integrated News" branding was dropped in favour of reviving the "GMA News" brand and its historic Serbisyong Totoo slogan which has been used since 2002. Vice President of News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva was appointed as the Officer-in-Charge of GMA News following Amoroso's early retirement.
