Pinky & Alvin anchor all-new TV Patrol Weekend

MANILA, Philippines - Pinky Webb and Alvin Elchico will be anchoring ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol Weekend, starting today and tomorrow, to deliver the biggest and latest news stories relevant to Filipino households.

Bringing in their experience covering wide-ranging topics, Pinky and Alvin will provoke discussions on socioeconomic issues that may have been neglected by the government and society, provide information to empower consumers about their rights and present features to help Filipino families achieve a work-life balance.

Pinky will also banner accounts on day-to-day problems oft-ignored by the government in Kulang sa Pansin. In her first report for Kulang sa Pansin, Pinky will help an old, jobless widow with no children apply for a senior citizen card.

“The new assignment is challenging and I am very excited to anchor ABS-CBN’s primetime weekend newscast,” said Pinky, who also co-anchors XXX and ANC’s Mornings@ANC.

Meanwhile, Alvin will educate the public to be vigilant, and pro-active consumers in Tapat Na Po. “When you sum it all up, we are all consumers and consumer issues relate to us more,” Alvin said.

TV Patrol Weekend airs every Saturday, 5 to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, 6 to 6:30 p.m.
