27:17 Exchange rate ng $1 nito is P35.293. That's with the Asian Financial Crisis factored in. For comparison, exchange rate nung 1993-96 naglalaro sa P23-26. Not bad. Although it got worse around nung time ni Erap hitting highs of P44 around Nov 1998 pero yan na pinakamataas and it mostly remained around the low 30s nung 1999 before spiking to the familiar P50 territory nung late 2000.
Then in during the early years of the GMA Administration, unang nag-spike sa ₱56 ang isang USD (contributing factor was then the ongoing US military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan where the latter was a result of the 9/11 attacks besides the post EDSA II political instabilities and the ongoing Communist and Islamic insurgencies), before returning to the ₱40+/$1 level which remained until the Duterte administration though it returned in 2021 admist the COVID-19 pandemic at ₱47/$1.
It is also good to see Ms. Cathy Santillan in full bloom broadcasting for RPN Newswatch, after catching up clips of hers doing Newsbreaks, thanks to Sir Undustfixation and VOTIII.
What an interesting newscast, though. Originally, Secretary De Villa and PCSO Chair Morato were part of the initial Senatorial lineup of Lakas for 1998. Senator Macapagal-Arroyo was originally vying for the presidential race with Sen. Sotto as her running mate under Kampi. Lakas Senators Guingona and Ramos-Shahani both initially aimed for the vice presidency. Mayor Lim is still considering running for president. Eventually, the tables turned-De Villa and Morato, who were Lakas stalwarts, became presidential candidates in other parties. Senator Macapagal-Arroyo would later become the running mate of Speaker De Venecia, while Senator Sotto backed out and returned to the LDP as a re-electionist Senator under LAMMP. Senator Guingona instead opted for re-election to the Senate, while Senator Ramos-Shahani retired due to term limits. Guingona would later become Vice President after Edsa Dos. Lim eventually ran for president but also lost.
Other networks do not air a news break before the main newscast. (EDITED) This video upload was just a merged video of a separate newsbreak & the main newscast. If 9pm ang The Big News sa ABC 5, last na ang 8pm Hope Top of the Hour News. Same with what RpN 9 did before. 9pm ang last RpN news break, 10pm ang NewsWatch
Wow Undustfixation uploaded some Newswatch videos including cigarette commercials like More, which is uploaded a commercial two day ago 😊😊 Until 2007, Newswatch on RPN 9 was well known of sponsoring cigarette brands like More, Hope, Champion and others before it was disappeared in 2007 thanks to the law 😊😊 As of 2024, Indonesia still airing some cigarette ads on TV with some brands like Semporna, Djarum Super, Bentoel and others 😊😊
Not only those. Those cigarette brands prior to 2007 also sponsored some basketball game portions, like PBA. Last 2 minutes was my favorite part when Ed Picson says "And we're in the last two minutes brought to you by HOPE. The Luxury Cigarette." Those were the days.
11:47 Miriam Defensor-Santiago was ahead of her time! Poll Computerization in 1998 (it would take 12 years to make it happen) She would run and lose the 1998 Presidential elections, finishing 7 out of 10 candidates, with around 700k votes, mostly in Iloilo Province, her bailiwick. It was Estrada's landslide, who adopted a lot of Miriam's tough on crime and corruption message. Also, Miriam the realpolitik - she is not sure if her bill will pass on time or will be implemented.
In 2004, there was already a plan to introduce automated polls. However, nagkaanomalya eh sa pagkuha ng mga gamit. Nabili na sila, pero bcs of the fiasco, ay ndi rin nila nagamit
There was a law passed allowing the supposed automation of the 1998 elections, Republic Act No. 8436. Prior to that passage, the first ARMM elections in 1996 were 'computerized', being the pilot area of the new system. Marami ding pagtatangka na gawing automated ang 2001 at 2004 elections, with the 2004 polls being the controversial due to the controversial COMELEC-Mega Pacific deal. The law was amended in 2006, RA 9369, na na-materialize lang noong ginawang automated ang 2008 ARMM elections and the rest is history.
Nope. Makikita mo yung MRT na ginagawa sa likuran so kahit andyan sila tuloy yung project. Nagtagal sila diyan until ng mga 2010s nung tinayo yung QC business district.

I miss this kind of TV News. '96-2000 are the best years of my life.
I was 16 yrs old at this time. I am now 43. Thanks for the memories, RPN9 ❤
How i wish that rpn9 will turn back in philipine television with that kind of format❤

A day before I was born… Thanks for this precious gift for us, Sir Dusty! 🎉
2:38 I've been looking this Newswatch OBB! 🙏💖😊👍
2:37 rare Newswatch Primecast OBB 😮
Loving this Newswatch OBB from that year (its giving me both ITN News at Ten and NBC Nightly News' vibe)
Thanks for this upload! ❤
1:14 the nostalgic voice over of rpn 9 that ive heard in the early 2000s.
Eric Eloriaga came from rival The Big News of then-ABC 5.
How I miss MDS! 😭
5:55-9:22-10:01-11:00-12:39-14:52-17:04-18:17-20:08 Interview
This after Harry Gasser left NewsWatch PrimeCast and he replaced by Eric Eloriaga.
Sen. Ramon Magsaysay left LP in 1997 but returned in 2013.
Yes when he was slated in the Team PNoy senatorial slate even if he did not win.
What an interesting newscast, though. Originally, Secretary De Villa and PCSO Chair Morato were part of the initial Senatorial lineup of Lakas for 1998.

Lim eventually ran for president but also lost.
Even Finance Secretary Bobby De Ocampo also gunned for the presidency under Lakas NUCD but later became part of its Senate slate.
Shahani ran for governor in Pangasinan yata in 1998
@@jorellgador336and lost to the brother of Viktoria Agbayani.
4:37 the old SLEX West Service Road with the construction of skyway stage 1
I think it's somewhere in Taguig 😊😊
Until 2007, RPN was one of the only broadcasters to sponsor a cigeratte brand on one of its news programs.
Anyways, that obb at 2:37 tho...
I think at that time, Harry Gasser replaced Dante Luzon on TVP Cebu, co-anchoring with Haide Acuna (?).
Ganda naman ng Newswatch dati.
30:54 Brendan Fraser would be an Academy Award winner 26 years later for his role in The Whale
>Sponsored by More Cigarettes
>One of the headlines is about an ambush on a tobacco company executive
💀
Yeah and it is one of the cigarettes that no longer exist in advertising since 2007 because of tobacco regulation laws

They didn't. I just merged it with the full broadcast instead of uploading it separately.
@undustfixation oh I see. Thanks for shedding light about it. Mea culpa.

Akalain mo, yung superimposed na text ng headline habang nagbabasa ng lead sentence ang anchor dati, naging lower thirds na ngayon.

Did Harry Gasser move to ABS-CBN regional news after RPN?
back in the day when cigarette ads were allowed even between news cast.
6:32 reporter ay ang asawa ni Harry Roque
Mylah Reyes boses nya 9:45
pero it was her who also filed that report na binasa lang ng anchor
American Accent si Eric Eloriaga
Heto po ba yung ginagawang mrt3 nung nademolish yung mga squatters sa edsa
Nope. Makikita mo yung MRT na ginagawa sa likuran so kahit andyan sila tuloy yung project. Nagtagal sila diyan until ng mga 2010s nung tinayo yung QC business district.
@undustfixation ah ok slmat po
That's uhh...bad timing here: 27:56 - 28:02
ahead of today's standard.
3:10 - decriminalizes squatting - DIOSKO KAYA PALA DUMAMI NA NG HUSTO ANG MGA SQUATTERS EH!!
Decriminalizing SQUATTING? Tsktsktsk...
