Broadcast Veterans unite: Ali Sotto joins Alex Santos on NET25’s Mata ng Agila Primetime
In a move that gives a fresh change in the local news, broadcast veteran Ali Sotto is set to join Alex Santos as co-anchor of NET25’s flagship evening news program, Mata ng Agila Primetime. This pairing marks a dynamic shift for the network and places two of the country’s most respected journalists at the forefront of its news delivery.
Sotto, a familiar face in both entertainment and news broadcasting, brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for incisive coverage to the news desk. Her transition from the realm of entertainment into the hard-hitting world of news has established her as a unique and versatile force in Philippine media.
“I really look forward to working with Alex. Rest assured that I will be (his) formidable partner and ally. Together, solid as one, in delivering the most trustworthy news coverage, from Monday to Friday. You can depend on that,” Sotto states confidently.
Alex Santos, a news anchor with deep roots in local Mindanao journalism, has ascended to national prominence on the strength of his insightful reporting and dedication to public service. Santos views NET25 as his home and has already made his mark as the host of its investigative powerhouse, Responde.
“Thank you, (Ali), for accepting this (job) as I know that our Alex-Ali tandem will surely deliver truthful news and I look forward, also, to this long-lasting partnership,” Santos expressed.
Sotto doesn’t hesitate to express her enthusiasm for returning to the anchor’s role: “I see this as a huge privilege, another chance given to me by our countrymen- to serve them. I would like to thank our NET25 management for the trust, for choosing me and offering the chance to spend time with our viewers nightly as we deliver THE most honest news.”
NET25’s commitment to journalistic excellence shines through this strategic move. Aligning Sotto and Santos at the helm of Mata ng Agila Primetime promises a fresh, compelling brand of news reporting for Filipino viewers.
