It was my first time to watch Bandila last Friday night. Thanks to Florita and its effect to our TV reception, I was only able to watch the show once.
Bandila is a news program aired from Monday to Friday after ABS-CBN’s “Primetime Bida”. Three veteran news anchors host the said program: Ces Drilon, Korina Sanchez and Henry Omaga-Diaz. The title and the usage of the colors of the Philippine Flag seem to imply that it is all about news stories all over the nation. However, true to every news program’s aim of delivering news stories even outside the country, Bandila somehow managed to deliver bits of news stories from other parts of the world, even with a limited airtime.
At first, I thought that it was patterned from TV Patrol World where there is the usual “three-anchor-stuff” facilitating the flow of the program. But then, Bandila is quite different in terms of the way the anchors present the news. Aside from the anchors giving an overview of a news story, there are instances that they throw short “ad libs” on what they think about a certain story. This is quite good for the program since the interaction of the anchors gave the program a less formal mood. This also gave Bandila another style of delivering news stories; straight news reporting and a little of commentary.
More so, giving the anchors and the room set-up a full shot from time to time somehow made Bandila less intimidating as compared to other news programs where medium shots are given to the anchors showing only their upper body. Also, the show gave more visuals in terms of coverage, which was helpful in catching its viewers’ attention.
Unlike TV Patrol World, the treatment of news stories in Bandila is somehow better in terms of length and in-depth reporting. The stories are longer thus, presenting more sides and opinions of people involved. And at this time where every news story is equated with bad events, Bandila somehow made a difference upon its coverage of a doctor who chose to be in a rural area to help the people, regardless of who they are, NPA or Military.
And being a viewer of Bandila for the first-time, I can only say much of what I have observed. (“,)
