Hosted by GMA News pillar and seasoned broadcast journalist Mike Enriquez, Imbestigador took investigative reporting to the next level by giving voice to the oppressed and righting wrongs for the ordinary people. In essence, it has not only aired grievances but provided concrete solutions to the victims of injustices of numerous ills in society – from anomalies and corruption to unscrupulous activities and various other crimes. Imbestigador also broke new ground on television when it pioneered using actual footage of gripping surveillance operations in the pursuit of its stories.

The film is an adaptation of Rick Yancey’s hit novel, published in 2013.

For this year, I am happy that beyond covering press conferences and movie premiere of the films, I will be able to see the Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Night which will be held in the newly renovated Kia Theatre (New Frontier Theater) which we visited in our Quezon City Tour. This will be a first for me, even I am exposed to the entertainment industry for years.
