UNTV unveils plans on carrying out its 9th year theme: "Inspiring Change, Building Better Communities"

UNTV-BMPI CEO Daniel Razon revealed some of the TV station's projects in fulfilling the theme of the station "Inspiring Change, Building Better Communities".

(Ineexpand natin ang ating ginagawang public service at gusto natin mas marami ang ating maaabot. Kumbaga nagsimula ka sa maliit na scope, ngayon community na ating pinupuntahan.)

"We are expanding our public services, we want to reach out to more people. We started out on a smaller scope, now we are already going to the communities." said Razon.

One of the focus of UNTV this year is to improve its free public health services by distributing UNTV Philhealth coupons to indigents in remote communities of the country.

UNTV Philhealth coupons will be distributed to indigents in remote areas of the country.

With this project, there will be no need for people in need of medical assistance to travel to Metro Manila just to avail the free check ups and medicines provided by UNTV. Participating hospitals in various parts of the country will already grant them service upon showing the coupon.

This project is in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and local government units.

(So we will coordinate with the DSWD and the local government para mas ma-identify natin kaagad ang indigents na maaaring mag-avail ng UNTV Philhealth coupons na magagamit nila sa mga areas na nila.)

"So we will coordinate with the DSWD and the local government to quickly identify the indigents that could avail the UNTV Philhealth coupons which they could already use in their respective areas. " said Daniel Razon.

In addition to that, UNTV will also sponsor families that cannot avail of Philhealth services by providing  UNTV Sponsored Philhealth Cards. The TV station will pay for the premiums of the health service instead of the families.

Another new public service of UNTV is Rescue Cab (Tulong Muna Bago Pasada) which will tap to the thousands of taxis roving around Metro Manila to assist in case of road accidents.

New public service from UNTV termed Rescue Cab taps taxi drivers
 to provide help in an event of an accident.

This project is adapted from Tulong Muna Bago Balita, which is another brainchild of Kuya Daniel.

(Kaya natin tinatawag na Rescue Cab ang ating naman ngayon dito itina-tap ay yung mga taxi drivers.. Tayo ang nagte-train sa kanila, tayo ang nag-o-augment ng pangangailangan nila para maging qualified din sila sa pagre-rescue.)

"The reason we call it Rescue Cab is because we now tap the taxi drivers. We train them, we are the ones to augment their needs, for them to be qualified in rescue." he said.

New television programs are also expected to debut in the coming weeks at UNTV Channel 37 to provide worthwhile shows to its viewers.

More projects are expected from the public service station on the coming seasons as promised by Daniel Razon.

(We will expand sa bigger pa, God wiling sa mas malaki pa na scope. Nagumpisa ka sa pamilya, smallest unit of society, then you go to the community, dirediretso na yun with God's help.)

"We will expand, God willing, to a larger scope. You started from the families, the smallest unit of society, then you go to the community, that will keep on going with God's help." said Kuya Daniel Razon.

UNTV's Daniel Razon Launches Country's First Tulong Muna Bago Pasada

Three years after the successful launch of Tulong Muna Bago Balita, Daniel Razon introduced another public service dubbed Rescue Cab: Tulong Muna Bago Pasada that intends to include cab drivers in the advocacy of helping first before anything else.

"Maybe, if all cab drivers will have rescue trainings, our streets will be a much safer place." said Razon in an interview.

(Siguro kung lahat ng taxi drivers gaya po ninyo ay makakapag-train ng rescue, mas magiging ligtas ang ating mga kalsada.)



In 2011 alone, more than 11,000 road accidents were recorded by the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group accounting for more than 1,000 deaths and 4,000 injuries that year.

With Tulong Muna Bago Pasada, Kuya Daniel hopes that cab drivers will be instrumental in helping motorists, commuters, and pedestrians in the event of an accident.

In cooperation with Philippine Red Cross, the first batch of orientation started June which covers Basic Life Support (BLS) trainings and is expected to end this July. Attendees will also receive a certificate upon completion of the training.

"I hope that this will be the start of our cooperation to serve, not only to our passengers but also to other motorists and commuters as well." Razon added.

(Ito po sana ay maging isang pasimula ng ating pagtutulungan para makapaglingkod hindi lamang sa ating nagiging pasahero kundi maging pati sa mga motorista at mga naglalakbay sa daan.)

When Razon through UNTV launched Tulong Muna Bago Balita on July 2010 - which is the ascendant program of Tulong Muna Bago Pasada - it opened up plenty of avenues for public services and apparently, it has also inspired public service programs from other media outlets other than UNTV.

As an example, TV5, a local channel, launched 'Rescue5' on February 2011 with the same format of helping first before reporting as UNTV's Tulong Muna Bago Balita.

Kuya Daniel Razon is an advocate of numerous public service projects in the country. Some of his projects includes free college education program through La Verdad Christian College in Caloocan City and Apalit, Pampanga. Also, Clinic ni Kuya has more than 13 branches nationwide to give free health checkups to those in need.

Interested parties to participate in Tulong Muna Bago Pasada may contact UNTV hotlines at (02) 441 8688 and (0938) 803 0777.
