The former Vice President of the Philippines is returning as a newscaster in TV Patrol joining him with Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon. It has been rumored though that Karen Davila had ill feelings towards ABS CBN for making her leave the news team. Her partner Julius Babao is retained who will be appearing in "Bandila" together with Ces Drilon. Such return of Noli de Castro is reportedly a strategic move by ABS CBN to combat the show of Wilie Revillame's Willing Willie", a former talent of ABS CBN. Wiling Wiling is said to be getting high ratings when Shalani, the President's girlfriend being one of Willie's co host.

Yes Karen Davila says that she have a feeling of loss because she anchored TV Patrol for about 6 years. And i think its pretty unfair for the part of ABS CBN just to exit Karen who is working hard just to deliver those news to the Filipino Community and the World also.

That is precisely my other point. If am not mistaken, that is the reason why she switched channel because of a good offer. Then after 6 years, Karen is being taken for granted. Well, what can I say. That is how ABS CBN handles their talents.

Yes that's how ABS CBN handle their talent and their strategy to compete with other station. That's how life and career goes.

De Castro has been a TV icon and he's really good. Although it is reported as a strategic move, I also think that Noli would still be back in the news since he had said it before. And as for shalani, I still don't understand why she accepted to be a co-host of willie revillame whom we know who he is..

Well, I am also blank with the reason why she accepted being a co-host of Willie. I think, she accepted it as a new career move since the show is also catering to help not only to entertain. Plus, she has been an apple of the eye since the public have known her to be the President's girlfriend. Hi Mark again! That was a very "showbiz" opinion...I like it.

Welcome back "kabayan" - back to you're real profession
Hello Maean, I've always admired him to be the "BEST" Anchor of our Time. although, I was amused when he ran for Vice President, seems this Political Career of his has tarnished a bit of his reputation. Although I've always known his intentions were good, it's really hard to maintain a good posture in Politics most specially if you have enemies. I thought Shalani is already an EX of President Noynoy already? I wish Mr. Noli De Castro wouldn't attempt to run for public service again.for now, am not even sure if it's really competing him as a anchor battling willies show. There's no way they can beat the news.

Hi Letranknight! I just hope Noli won't run again in politics, it is not his expertise. Well, according to the report, it was said that the changes is a strategic move to beat Willie's show. As for me, I agree with you, if ABS CBN thought of competition, they have to retain beating against 24 Oras and not an entertainment news. That is why, I thought of a loophole that it is connected with the case battle betwwen the network and Willie which prompted the former to make changes. As for Shalani, I think she is an EX. It is already spreading that she call it quits with our President.

i heard its because of the low rating against willies show in tv 5. i think noli and korina is a good pair for tv patrol to improve the ratings but we can understand if karen and julius will feel bad about it.

Let us assume or surely say that the news show has a low rating, what puzzles me really is why they have to compete with Willie's show, which is an entertainment show. Isn't it the reason behind is in connection with ABS CBN and Willie's case? Because for me, why is a network has to compete with an entertainment show with a news show?

Hi alkaine! Actually, Noli de Castro is a former news broadcaster, known to be such before winning the Vice Presidential. He did not run for any position after his term, hence went back to news casting. I doubt he can make it as President if he runs for it. I also doubt why he even won the VP position then.

I dont think it was necessary to put noli and korina back to tv patrol just to raise their rating. Personally, i like juluis and karen more than them because the atmosphere in the studio is light and relax with juluis and karen around.

Well, honestly my friend, I am not really into the ratings of the show. I am just wondering why ABS CBN has to compete with an entertainment show? There is something fishy with the sudden changes and replacements. They said it is because to beat Willie's show in TV5.

Honestly, I don't like Korina Sanchez taking over Karen Davila. Maybe because that she has streaked of politics in her since she got married to her husband vice presidential candidate Mar Roxas. Kabayan is fine but we all can't help (in my family) that he has politics in him also. Would he still be credible enough to deliver news? I hope he's not biased. Willie's ratings is soaring high. Here in our area, most of them watch Willie's show than hearing the news. LOL

I don't like much Karen Davilla but i mostly don't like Korina Sanchez either. but i think it was immature for ABS to remove Davilla just because of the ratings. i think it's the method of reporting that should be change and not the reporter themselves.maybe he never should have run in the first place.

I heard that Karen Davila tried to transfer to Channel 5 but was told that their news team is complete. She was instead offered a place in the cable news channel that Channel 5 is going to launch soon. At the rate TV5 is growing, it might be wise to hitch her star with them. I am not so sure that Willing Willie will be able to topple the news shows. Sure people were curious when Shalani was introduced, mainly because they wanted to see the recently ex-ed girlfriend of PNoy. My mother and I watched the launch and I was bored after a while. I think people are use to getting their news at that time and will not willingly shift allegiance.

tv 5 should compete fairly with the other two networks so people can still watch news promgrams which are very important so people will know about the happenings. if tv 5 is really confident about willie's program they should just put the airtime same as the noon time show of others. if its really true that willie still gets a high rating, what should they worry about?

I am happy that Noli comes back to newscasting. I think he is better there than in the government agency. As to Karen, I don't think she will have ill feelings, she is mature and not narrow minded. Good luck to Shalani, hope she will not be upset when people talk negative stuff about her. Hope Willie learned his lesson too.

I think Noli is really better off in the news industry than being a politician. To be frank, he is not good at it. As to Karen, I just hope she gets a good offer by the network. As to Shalani, I think she will get to use with it as time passes by. She is new in the tv industry and still adjusting.

Actually I was not able to watched television news for two months already.I am just feel safe when logging in to my computer.Abs-cbn is a media company driven to change whatever should be changed.I don't see any issue here.It is just a big moved,that is life.It is time for a change when everything is getting worst.No network war just put everything in control.

I kinda felt odd when I ws flipping channels between TV Patrol and 24 Oras because I felt that both main male presenters (De Castro and Enriquez) are known newscaters who are projecting their voices on air. I much more apprecited De Castro over Enriques any daY. As for Shalani, she's courting trouble with attention. Willie is a known 'harraser'.

I have no trouble who is more effective in news casting whether Noli or Mike. I am more particular with the news and I find GMA 7's 24 Oras more fair in rendering news. Although, I admit that I switch channels too. I tried to check on and able to see how Wiling Willie and it can be observed that Shalani is quite awkward being with Willie. But I guess, she is new to the tv industry so perhaps that is the reason why. She is still adjusting. And yes, I guess she is in trouble with Willie's not so good reputation.

for me i found tv patrol as more reliable. well, what can i say, i was born with kapamilya environment. anyway, it is better that they return korina to tv patrol. i guess korina deserves to be there. she is miles better compared to tiangco.. or tianco or what.. heeheh

Oh well, what can I say. We have our own choices or bets on who is best. I think, what matters to me is the news. If we have to compare between Korina and Mel, I guess the latter is more credible.

Sorry but I kinda laughed when you mentioned that it was a strategic move against Willie rather than against Mike Enriquez. You have to remember that a news program and a variety program have different formats and different audiences. the time slot of Willing Willie is against the news programs (e.g. TV Patrol and 24 Oras). I believe that they used this schedule to give viewers a choice or to be specific a choice to escape from horrid bad news being reported everyday by the same anchors in a monotone voice. When it comes to Shalani, I think it is another PR move since the said woman seems not to know what is doing with herself. I do wonder why she associated herself with such programs at all.
