GMA Integrated News will air the second installment of its special documentary Biyaheng Totoo: Sana sa Eleksyon 2025 tomorrow, focusing on unemployment, overseas Filipino workers’ rights, and food security.
The program, hosted by seasoned journalist Vicky Morales, will be shown on May 3 at 9:30 p.m. on GMA Network.
Journalists Raffy Tima and Ivan Mayrina report on the challenges facing job seekers and agricultural workers across the country.
Tima’s segment, “Magandang Trabaho at Kabuhayan,” looks at Filipinos forced to leave the country for work and the risks they face overseas. It also highlights government data showing nearly two million unemployed as of February, with voters identifying job creation as a top concern in the 2025 elections, according to a Social Weather Stations survey.
Mayrina’s report, “Sapat at Abot-Kayang Pagkain sa Hapag-Kainan,” travels to Tarlac and Pangasinan to examine the situation of farmers and fisherfolk. Government statistics show one in four in the sector lives in poverty, despite their central role in food production.
The segment also features individuals like Jonathan, a rice farmer waiting weeks for the National Food Authority to buy his harvest, and small vendors who struggle to earn enough for daily survival. Between 2021 and 2023, the Philippines had the highest number of food-insecure people in Southeast Asia at more than 51 million.
The second part of the series follows last week’s episode, which covered hunger, healthcare, poverty, and education. According to Nielsen TV overnight ratings, the April 26 broadcast drew a 5.5 percent people rating in urban areas.
Biyaheng Totoo: Sana sa Eleksyon 2025”Part 2 will also be livestreamed via GMA Integrated News’ social media platforms.
