## About

GMA News arrives at Philippine households through the television set before it reaches any website, roughly ninety percent of the country inside its weekly reach. Three families hold the company, and the congress that must one day renew its broadcast franchise is also the institution its reporters investigate hardest. It runs no editorial page at all, so what the newsroom thinks has to be read off what it chooses to cover.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** GMA Network, Inc., listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. Three family vehicles hold the company: the Gozon holding 25.23 percent of common shares, the Duavit holding 23.47 percent and two Jimenez companies a further 23.55 percent, with the top five record owners at 83.06 percent of common and 99 percent of the voting preferred shares. Public float is about 21 percent and foreign investors may hold only depositary receipts. Gilberto R. Duavit Jr. has been president and chief executive since January 2024, with Felipe L. Gozon as chairman.
- **Funding:** Advertising, which was roughly 91 percent of revenue in 2025; election advertising alone contributed more than two billion pesos that year. The news site is free with no paywall, and consumer revenue comes from international subscription channels rather than from news.
- **Focus areas:** National politics and governance, metro and regional news, public-service information including weather and class suspensions, business and markets, world news, and a standing special-reports investigative strand, in both English and Filipino.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
