    This descriptive-comparative study aims to determine the program format of the two mainstream TV news programs here in the Philippines: TV Patrol (ABSCBN) and 24 Oras (GMA). There are two types of TV news program format, standard format and tabloid format. Both formats are guided by four elements: segment, news selection, news delivery and language. Survey was used in measuring the knowledge of Ilonggo viewers on the program format of TV Patrol and 24 Oras. The study covered 12 barangays in Iloilo City with 400 respondents. Results of the data-gathering process showed that TV Patrol is in tabloid format while 24 Oras is in standard format. News delivery is the most tabloid element of TV Patrol while Language is the most standard element of 24 Oras.

    Alli, Zerlene; Cabarga, Herchelle Anne; Satiagudo, Emme Rose (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2018-05)
    The immense influence of reality television has paved the way for the massive success of Big Brother franchise across the globe. Here in the Philippines, Pinoy Big Brother continues to become one of the most popular reality shows. The increasing popularity of PBB to its audience especially the youth prompted the conduct of the study to identify the perceptions on real life resulted from Ilonggo teenagers' exposure to PBB Lucky Season 7. Anchored on George Gerbner's Cultivation Theory, the researchers conducted a survey among Grade 12 Senior High School students in the First Congressional District of Iloilo. The researchers utilized the gualitative and guantitative method in data collection and analysis. The overall mean score reflected a positive perception, thereby, the researchers have concluded that reality TV viewing has a positive effect on the perception of Ilonggo teenagers towards real life. The positive perceptions revealed that regardless of being light viewers, respondents’ exposure to PBB Lucky Season 7 bears effect in influencing their perception on real life. Hence, it presents a different light on Gerbner's Cultivation Theory, which states that television's immense influence is mirrored on the heavy viewers. The reality cultivated by reality shows like Pinoy Big Brother is a manifestation of the strength of the television as a medium and as a powerful tool that can shape the minds and the society.
