Program Description:

"The World Tonight" is the late evening news program of ABS-CBN News, anchored by Angelo Castro Jr., Loren Legarda, Ces Drilon and Dyan Castillejo. Aside from winning the KBP Golden Dove Award for "Best News Program" for 5 consecutive years, " The World Tonight " has received other numerous accolades, including the prestigious Catholic Mass Media Award. Since its inception in October 1986, "The World Tonight " has always been at the cutting edge in not just delivering the news as they happen, but also in trying to analyze their significance Among its foremost objectives is to give the overall picture of news events. Being the late evening news program of ABS-CBN News, "The World Tonight" takes advantage of its lead time to get the meat of news stories and present them with the use of cutting edge visuals. It tries to explore and present the different angles and aspects behind the headlines: how they happened, why they happened, and what can Filipinos expect in the near future. The result is a package of stories neatly wrapped and presented to viewers, easy to understand---yet serious. "The World Tonight" believes events overseas deserve as much media attention as local news do. Because information and technology brings countries closer together, "The World Tonight" keeps in step with the trend to go global. In its pursuit of editorial excellence, the program exercises a high degree of journalistic responsibility, never compromising in running after stories. Emerging shortly after the 1986 People Power Revolution, the program believes in media freedom and believes its role is to defend it. It is for these reasons that "The World Tonight" constantly seeks out issues that affect society. It also aims to highlight the human spirit and, therefore, pursues stories that provide insights into the human will to overcome adversity.
