The Isyu Ngayon series (Issues Today) was a brand of regional news magazine shows of different GMA Regional TV stations in the Philippines. They were aired weekly in Dagupan, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao on Saturday mornings; and aired daily in Naga, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro and General Santos. The Isyu Ngayon family of programs was not available in the Metro Manila market. Its editions in Naga, Iloilo, Bacolod and Davao were aired internationally via GMA News TV International.
Airing History
Isyu Ngayon premiered on October 30, 2010, as a Saturday morning news magazine program replacing the Agenda series of GMA Regional TV in Dagupan,[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=107976539269760&id=301605070582 Isyu Ngayon North and Central Luzon Statement] Cebu,[http://www.philstar.com/cebu-entertainment/625241/gma-7s-isyu-karon-debut-today GMA 7's Isyu Karon debut today][http://www.philstar.com/cebu-entertainment/627221/isyu-karon-good-start Isyu Karon off to a good start] Iloilo and Davao, a special series of forums and documentaries for the 2010 national and local elections. The program was well known of being patterned with Sunday morning talk shows in the United States tackling political issues and human interest stories and was the network's answer to Mag TV Na. It was also launched on November 22, 2010, as a daily news magazine program following the launch of regional news and public affairs teams on their satellite stations in Naga,[https://bikolnews.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/gma-tv-7-naga-airs-%E2%80%98isyu-ngonian%E2%80%99/ GMA TV-7 Naga airs ‘iSYU Ngonian’] Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro[http://www.cdodev.com/2010/11/22/gma-local-news-program-debuts-today/ GMA local news program debuts today] and General Santos[http://www.gensantos.com/2010/11/kapuso-launches-isyu-soccsksargen-a-daily-cebuano-docu-news-program/ Kapuso launches "Isyu Soccsksargen, a daily Cebuano docu-news program][http://www.southcotabatonews.com/2010/11/isyu-karon-soccsksargen-on-gma-channel.html Isyu Karon Soccsksargen on GMA Channel] as an answer to the regional editions of TV Patrol in these areas.
However, its editions in Dagupan, Cebu, Iloilo and General Santos were cancelled during the last quarter of 2011 to first quarter of 2012 despite garnering good ratings, the three weekly editions were replaced by a travel show Let's Fiesta aired every Sunday while the operations of General Santos station was later on absorbed by the Davao station with Flash Bulletin as its solely produced program. Despite the cancellation of four editions, Isyu Ngayon remained in some areas.{{Cite web |url=http://thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/114-community-news-cat/2784-ilonggo-isyu-subong-preferred-by-more-viewers |title=Ilonggo Isyu Subong preferred by more viewers |access-date=December 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210205710/http://thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/114-community-news-cat/2784-ilonggo-isyu-subong-preferred-by-more-viewers |archive-date=December 10, 2015 |url-status=dead }}[http://gmalocalprophet.blogspot.com/2011/11/111111-ilonggo-isyu-subongs-end.html Ilonggo Isyu Subong ends][http://www.philstar.com/cebu-entertainment/727812/isyu-karon-central-visayas-preferred-more-viewers Isyu Karon Central Visayas preferred by more viewers][https://www.facebook.com/LetsFiesta/info?tab=page_info Let's Fiesta Information]
With the plans of GMA to extend their Serbisyong Totoo and because of the outgrowing performance in the provinces, it led for two Isyu Ngayon to transform into live newscasts. On September 14, 2012, the Naga edition successfully ended following the launch of GMA Bicol originating station and was replaced by its flagship regional newscast Baretang Bikol, which later on became 24 Oras Bikol.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEudONfNe8g GMA Bicol launch featured on Isyu Ngonian] Then it was followed on February 4, 2013, when the Cagayan de Oro edition was replaced by Testigo Northern Mindanao, which later on became 24 Oras Northern Mindanao following the launch of the GMA Northern Mindanao originating station.
On October 13, 2012, Isyu Mindanao was launched as consolidation for Cagayan de Oro, Davao and General Santos editions.[https://www.facebook.com/GMATVNorthernMindanao/posts/429950093719563 GMA TV 5 Davao launches Isyu Mindanao] Eventually it was replaced by Isyu ug Istorya on July 19, 2014.
The Bacolod edition, which was the only daily edition using the Isyu Ngayon brand, was aired side by side with Ratsada of GMA Iloilo[http://www.visayandailystar.com/2012/November/30/people.htm Kapuso beefs up telecast in Western Visayas] and later stopped, this edition became the flagship news and public affairs program of GMA Bacolod. Unlike other GMA regional newscasts which were aired live from their respective studios, the program was taped on location except for covering local events when they were being broadcast live. The edition, however, was not included to the news programs of the network rebranded to 24 Oras. However, the program's episode for April 24, 2015, turned out to be their last episode after the network decided to strategically streamline its regional operations which led to the termination of some employees and talents and cancellation of other morning and afternoon programs as well as closing down other regional news departments in Ilocos, Bicol and Northern Mindanao on the same day, followed by Iloilo news department on November.[http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/local-news/2015/04/27/gma-tv-bacolod-goes-air-404505 GMA TV Bacolod goes off air][http://www.philstar.com/region/2015/04/28/1448787/20-employees-gma-bacolod-retrenched 20 employees of GMA Bacolod retrenched][http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/740106/gma-7-scraps-iloilo-city-news-program-lays-off-20-staff GMA 7 scraps Iloilo City news program, lays off 20 staff]
