00:00 Despite the challenges, there is an individual who is considered the key of GMA Network
00:06 to its success.
00:08 Atty. Felipe El Gozon, also known as FLG.
00:12 So in his retirement as CEO, let's go back to his colorful life and heart for his fellowmen
00:20 that became the way to protect Kapuso Network.
00:24 Marizumali is a witness.
00:28 From being a small radio station
00:31 to being a full-fledged TV station
00:37 and from a rainbow satellite
00:43 became the heart of every Filipino.
00:47 [Music]
00:57 And now, GMA is known as the leading, biggest, most trusted, and most awarded multimedia network in the Philippines.
01:09 It will not be possible without the three important letters.
01:14 That is the FLG.
01:17 The initials of Felipe Lapuz Gozon, the chairman and outgoing chief executive officer of GMA Network Inc.
01:24 Who would have thought that this kid from Malabon would become a giant in the broadcast media industry.
01:31 In 1974, he bought a breathtaking TV station from Bob Stewart
01:38 with his partners, Gilberto Duavit Sr. and Menardo Jimenez.
01:43 In 2000, he became the CEO of GMA.
01:47 Under his leadership, he led some of the biggest, most prominent, and most top-rated programs in the history of Philippine television.
01:58 As well as the most award-winning newscasts and public affairs programs.
02:03 Among them are the four prestigious George P. Body Awards, which are only held by GMA in the Philippines.
02:11 When I took the helm of GMA in 2000, we were a far second among the Philippine TV stations.
02:24 So I dreamed of making GMA number one.
02:29 And rallied my team to work harder than ever before.
02:40 The rest is history.
02:42 Under his leadership, GMA grew and expanded in all parts of the country, including abroad, and on the internet and social media.
02:53 We are reaching our people's talents and talents.
03:01 There is no other reason why GMA's family would not be formed.
03:10 In becoming number one, the bigger challenge for FLG
03:14 To do even better than what we have been doing before.
03:17 And that is to provide the kind of superior, responsible entertainment that we have to the public.
03:29 And more importantly, to provide objective, unbiased, unprotected, and unhindered news to the whole country.
03:44 Under his leadership, he brought GMA Network to many successes and also to many challenges.
03:52 And his constant message
03:54 Is stand for truth. Integrity and truth are what we live for in the media industry.
04:04 We are committed to truth above all else.
04:09 In announcing his retirement, GMA's current president and chief operating officer, Gilberto R. Duavit Jr. will be the CEO of Kapuso Network.
04:21 The Executive Committee Chairman, Joel Marcelo G. Jimenez, will serve as the Director of RGMA Network Inc.,
04:28 Executive Committee Chairman and Director of GMA New Media Inc., and other subsidiaries of GMA Network.
04:36 FLG will remain the Chairman of the Board and will serve as the company's advisor.
04:41 In more than two decades of being the CEO of FLG, GMA has achieved a lot.
04:46 And in every success, FLG knows who should be thankful.
04:51 God and the people who make up GMA.
04:55 I have always said that our people are our best assets.
05:02 The equipment that we buy will depreciate the moment we use them.
05:08 But the stories we create live in the hearts of our viewers and appreciate over time.
05:18 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Marize Umali, your witness.
