President Rodrigo Duterte signed a law renewing the franchise granted to GMA Network for another 25 years.
He signed Republic Act No. 10925 on Friday, April 21.
GMA Network, which runs television channels, radio stations, and an online news site, had been given a franchise through Republic Act No. 7252 when it was still known as Republic Broadcasting System Inc.
RA 10925 allows GMA Network to continue operating its channels and orders it to provide air time for public service announcements, especially in times of emergency or calamity.
It also exhorts GMA Network to "comply with the applicable labor standards" with consideration to "the nature and peculiarities of the broadcast industry."
In 2015, talents hired by GMA won a case against the broadcasting company. The labor arbiter of the National Labor Relations Commission ruled that GMA-7' contractual workers, given the nature of their job, should be treated as regular employees and be given security of tenure and benefits.
Members of the Talents Association sued GMA 7 for depriving them of law-mandated benefits like health insurance and social insurance.
RA No 10925 also allows the President to temporarily take over or stop operations of GMA Network if in the best interest of the public.
On March 9, 2018, GMA Network launched its new slogan "Buong Puso Para Sa Kapuso" with a new station ID.
However, the network's current station ID in short version during the top/bottom of the hour before start the programs
Aside from the new S/ID, it would be reported that the return of former programs GMA Balita, Magnegosyo, Sesame Street, Batibot and Sis on the morning slot, while Eye to Eye and other programs as well weekly programs, the daily late-night English newscast GMA Network News while GMA News TV shows Day-Off and Ang Pinaka will put on weekend slots.
Nagmamahal, Manay Gina returns on television, while Maynila reverted to a weekday drama anthology.
