A time for heroes: 2007 southeast Asian Games in Nakhon Ratchasima, THAILAND

The 2007 Southeast Asian Games officially known as the 24th Southeast Asian Games was a Southeast Asian multi-sport event held in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Thailand from 6 to 15 December 2007, with 475 in 43 sports and disciplines featured in the games.

At this time to prepare the coverage, ABS-CBN executives, led by chairman, president, and CEO Eugenio Lopez III that the broadcast rights of the regional multi-sport event were to be held in the same city and country. This company, along with the Philippine Sports Commission and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation to sign an agreement to air this event on February 24, 2006, three months after the Philippines hosted the 23rd Southeast Asian Games.

Thus, the ABS-CBN corporation through its sports division ABS-CBN Sports, its TV channels ABS-CBN and UHF network Studio 23, cable channels Balls, ANC and DZMM TeleRadyo and AM radio station DZMM, along with government station PTV-4 and rival ABC-5, and radio stations DZMM Radyo Patrol 630, DZRH, DZSR Sports Radio 918, 92.3 XFM and 106.7 Dream FM to cover the 2007 edition of Southeast Asian Games in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Thailand live nationwide and worldwide on all platforms - TV, Radio, Internet via Facebook and Youtube on PC, smartphones, and tablets.

This coverage was powered by the Philippine Sports Commission and UCare, co-presented by the Department of Tourism, Alaxan FR, and Petron, and in part by Pride Detergent, Unique Toothpaste, Shield Bath Soap, Meralco, Jollibee, Hapee, Capsulac, Accel, MC Billboards, Tanduay, Nestle Milo, PLDT, Globe, TM, Eyeberry, Dunkin Donuts, Cherry Mobile, Fukuda, My Juiz, AICS, Manila Bulletin, 2GO, GES, Steeltech Colored Roofing and M Lhuillier Financial Services, Inc.

besides next to kart racer Guidicelli, Sy, Bumgarner and race car driver Pastor is Cebu basketball player and businessman Jeremy Ryan Huang, who was joined by CGA&P (Sen. Cayetano, Go, Abrera and Protacio) in Manila, on December 9, 2007, at Spiral Restaurant of the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.

Radio announcer Dennis Antenor, Jr. (formerly known as Dennis Guisado of YES! FM 101.1) was at the DZRH studio, while dozens of amusement-park goers outside of Star City - Amusement Park and PICC participating in the "Occupy" protests, as well the Anti-government protesters clash with police at Roxas Boulevard.

While Guidicelli, Sy, Bumgarmer, Pastor and Huang in Manila with CGA&P, Diaz, Joven dela Merced, Magsaysay, San Diego and Tayao-Cabrera, is no other than Enchong Dee and Ken Uy, are participated at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games swimming competitions in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Uy was in lane 4 of men's 100-meter freestyle finals at past 7 p.m. on December 8 and Dee was in lane 8 of men's 100-meter butterfly finals at past 7:29 p.m. on the same day.

It can be remembered that only a number of GMA-7 programs reached the top spots in the primetime rating charts in the history of the Rainbow Network this 2004: these are Imbestigador and StarStruck. It was two years since GMA-7 launched an offensive to snatch away the overall No. 1 Philippine TV network spot from ABS-CBN (still called the Star Network) but only had its 2 shows out of the top 10 primetime slots currently. ABS-CBN is still clinging on to a vast Metro Manila audience share of 40-50% (in contrast to GMA-7’s Metro Manila audience share of 20-35%), and a massive regional share of 70-90%. It’s a stark contrast with what happened to ABS-CBN after EDSA Uno, where it took less than 2 years to go back to the overall No. 1 spot for the Philippines’ most-watched TV network (having its 10 shows in the top 10 primetime slots), which it had since 1953-1972 and 1986-2004. And ABS-CBN still has the strong trust of the majority of advertisers, being the No. 1 network for the whole of 2003.

Claims are virtually ridiculous, malicious, and baseless with regards to ABS-CBN conniving with 2 of the world’s most trusted TV rating groups–AGB and AC Nielsen, and with regards to the moving of channels of both ABS-CBN and GMA-7 by some cable operators, who were falsely accused of conniving with ABS-CBN execs, as various reports by the Philippine Star declared so.

While GMA-7 heavily has its Kapuso campaign since October 27, 2002, ABS-CBN still has the Kapamilya campaign, which has been with the network since January 1, 2000. The Kapamilya campaign of ABS-CBN was first done in coinciding ABS-CBN’s two grand events: the network’s Philippine Independence Centennial party at Expo Filipino in June 1998, and the nationwide and worldwide multimedia year-end broadcast “The ABS-CBN Worldwide Celebration of the New Millennium” last December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000.

Pia Archangel, Arnold Clavio, Mike Enriquez, Angelique Lazo, Vicky Morales, Connie Sison, Jessica Soho, and Mel Tiangco at the Westside Studio of Broadway Centrum and Studio 2 of GMA Network Center are anchors of the live 48-hour marathon sports coverage.

The primetime drama series of two networks were pushed back for up to two hours.

This coverage would compare the 1995 visit of Pope John Paul II for the 10th world youth day in Manila.
