Karen Davila Leads Campaign to Revive Phil Theater Arts in 'Krusada'

Julius Leads Extensive Reforestation Campaign in 'Krusada'
The planned uprooting of trees by the SM management in the expansion of its mall in Baguio was met with outrage despite its scheme to build ‘green’ and energy-saving buildings.
Bernadette Sembrano Fights for the Mentally Ill in 'Krusada'
People with mental disorders or illnesses are often subjects of mockery and are unjustly incarcerated or abandoned by the judgmental public that labels them ‘lunatics’ or ‘crazy.’
Tomorrow (Feb 16) in “Krusada,” Bernadette Sembrano will examine how the government attends to the needs of the mentally ill and if it provides adequate support and attention to mental health care facilities in the country.
“We often forget that there are people with mental illnesses who need sufficient medical attention. We should re-evaluate if medicine and hospital confinement are their only options for their cure,” she said.
Bernadette has been actively engaged in missions that benefit the mentally ill for her involvement with ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sagip Kapamilya. They rescued the woman who figured in the news for living in a mosquito net in Guinobatan, Albay and the Reodava siblings in Aklan who have since gotten well.
Due to her experience with Sagip Kapamilya, Bernadette has also fought for the improvement of the conditions of mental facilities in the country. There may be existing psychiatric units and day-treatment centers, but most of them are located in Metro Manila and cannot be accessed by patients in rural areas.
Listen, take part and be one with Bernadette’s crusade because it takes more than words to make a stand. Watch “Krusada,” which is nominated in the Social Issues/Current Events category at the prestigious 2012 New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards, tomorrow (Feb 16) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26), 9:15 PM.
Abner Fights Anew for Freedom of Ailing Inmates
Broadcast journalist Abner Mercado will once again campaign for the freedom of the elderly and ailing inmates in different correctional institutions this Thursday (Jan 26) on “Krusada” following the recent deaths of some of these convicts.
In 2008 and 2011, Abner told of the stories of the elderly and seriously sick inmates whose only wish was to be granted executive clemency so they could spend their dying days with their loved ones.
This advocacy is close to Abner’s heart. He shares, “I empathize with those who have been doomed to spend the rest of their days behind bars in a decrepit condition, and whose only way out is death.”
Abner met Esmarie “Cheng” Salazar in June 2011. Cheng was a 52-year old inmate at the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong who was suffering from stage four of breast cancer. She applied for a pardon, but didn’t live to see her request granted.
Cheng’s story is similar to that of Querubin Libo-on, a convict at the New Bilibid Prison. With his request for clemency not granted, Querubin died of throat cancer inside the prison.
Did President Benigno Aquino III free any ailing inmate last Christmas? Will terminally ill convicts ever be given executive clemency in order for them to spend their last days with their families?
Listen, take part, and be one with Abner’s crusade because it takes more than words to make a stand. Watch “Krusada” this Thursday (Jan 26) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26), 9:15 PM.

Charie Promotes Undiscovered PHL Wonders in 'Krusada'
Veteran journalist Charie Villa will pioneer trips to some of the country’s unfamiliar and undiscovered destinations and promote them through the Internet travel portal ‘Choose Philippines’ this Thursday (Jan 12) in “Krusada.”
Charie, the news head of the ABS-CBN Regional Network group (RNG), will trek the less popular but breathtaking spots in Laoag, Pagudpud, Burgos, Bangui and Adams in the Ilocos region and pinpoint the factors that hinder tourism growth in these places.
Based on data, a single foreigner touring in the country generates jobs for ten Filipinos. Investing in lesser-known spots in the country would increase economic opportunities for Filipinos and ‘Choose Philippines’ is a great platform to help locals advance their livelihood, Charie said.
She stressed, “The role of tourism is to grow opportunities and revive livelihood but Philippine tourism is facing beautiful problems. I'm saying beautiful problems because they can be solved if only we point them out to the people and the government.”
The ABS-CBN RNG launched the ‘Choose Philippines’ website (choosephils.com) in April 2011 to give both Filipinos and foreigners accurate and up-to-date information about the places, local delicacies, products, and culture in the country.
Discover the beauty of the Philippines and be one with Charie’s crusade this Thursday (Jan 12) in “Krusada.” Because it takes more than words to take a stand, watch it after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26), 9:15 PM.
Karen and Henry Revisit Advocacies Launched in 'Krusada'
Broadcast journalists Karen Davila and Henry Omaga-Diaz will revisit the most heart-tugging stories featured in the advocacy program "Krusada" in 2011 this Thursday (Jan 5).
Karen and Henry will check if there have been improvements in the health and children's rights issues they tackled in the program, as well as Tina Monzon-Palma's fight for the rights of kids who are victims of child abuse. Also to be reviewed in the episode are Bernadette Sembrano's crusade for teachers' proper employment benefits and Ces Orena-Drilon's campaign for military families and women's reproductive health.
After a year of pushing for their own advocacies in "Krusada," ABS-CBN's veteran journalists such as 'Kabayan' Noli de Castro, Ted Failon, Julius Babao, Gus Abelgas, Lynda Jumilla, Tony Velasquez, and Dyan Castillejo have demonstrated that besides reporting, they can take a stand and act on the most pressing issues in the country to become true agents of change.
True public service is propelled by action, not merely words. Don't miss the special episode of "Krusada" this Thursday (Jan 5) after "Bandila" on ABS-CBN, or watch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable ch. 26) 9:15 PM.
Karen Davila Fights for Kids with Rare Diseases
Only one of 20,000 people is afflicted by rare or “orphan diseases” such as Gaucher disease, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Because of their low incidence and unfamiliarity, they receive insufficient support and attention from the government.
This Thursday (Dec 15) in “Krusada,” Karen Davila will introduce us to two kids who suffer from these unusual and aggressive disorders in order to seek support from public and private sectors.
Meet 13-year old Raprap who is diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta and doesn’t play and go to school. He shouldn’t be nudged because his fractured and sensitive bones fracture easily.
As a mother and a Youth Ambassador who was awarded by UNICEF for her campaign for children’s rights, Karen continues her campaign for children’s health and well-being by bringing these diseases to light.
“It’s difficult to be a parent of a child who suffers from a very serious illness. If we don’t understand them, who will?” she said.
Because it takes more than words to make a stand, listen, take part and be one in Karen’s crusade this Thursday (Dec 15) in “Krusada,” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN or watch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable channel 26), 9:15 PM.
Abner Mercado Advocates for Preservation of Endangered Filipino Films
The country stands to lose thousands of its locally-produced films for the next generation of Filipinos to appreciate unless an institution will be created to ensure its preservation.
In his documentary for “Krusada” tomorrow (Dec 1), ABS-CBN broadcast journalist Abner Mercado reports that only 3,500 out of the 8,000 Filipino films made since 1919 have been preserved, some of which are in bad condition.
“Filipinos today can see the richness of our country’s culture and values by watching classic and contemporary Filipino films. So it is important to preserve these films for the future generations of Filipinos,” he said.
Abner is pushing for the creation of a National Film Archive that will be responsible in preserving Filipino films.
He also talks to some of the country’s biggest names in showbusiness such as the Queen of Philippine cinema Susan Roces, critically-acclaimed director Celso Ad Castillo, box-office hit director Cathy Garcia-Molina, and former child star Niño Muhlach on their thoughts about the issue.
Because it takes more than words to make a stand, watch and be one with Abner’s cause tomorrow (Dec 1) in “Krusada” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or catch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable ch. 26), 9:15 PM.
Karen Davila Champions Crusade for Coconut Farmers
Award-winning broadcast journalist Karen Davila will expose the plight of coconut farmers in the Philippines tonight (Nov 24) in “Krusada” amidst President Aquino’s strong promotion of local coconut products’ potential in the international market.
Karen will visit a coconut plantation in Lopez, Quezon to look into the lives of coconut farmers who earn so little after months of hard work and waiting for harvest.
Coconut product exports reportedly generate $1 billion dollars for the country every year, but unknown to many, coconut farmers in the Philippines do not benefit from their yield.
Because it takes more than words to make a stand, listen, take part and be one with Karen’s crusade tonight (Nov 24) in “Krusada,” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or catch it earlier at 9:15 PM on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable channel 26).
Abner Mercado Campaigns for Puerto Princesa Underground River
The Puerto Princesa Underground River in Palawan, the country’s official entry to the “New 7 Wonders of the World,” captivated 450,000 local and foreign tourists last year with its spectacular subterranean river and mountain landscape.
It is recognized as the longest navigable underground river in the world spanning 8.2 kilometers and winds through a cave with rich mineral deposits such as stalactites and stalagmites.
This Thursday (November 10) in “Krusada,” Abner Mercado will urge viewers to vote for the PP Underground River, which holds a very special place in his heart.
The title is expected to attract more tourists to Palawan, thus boosting the country’s tourism industry.

Karen Investigates Causes of Flooding in 'Krusada'
Due to their proximity to Pampanga River, floods are a natural occurrence in some towns in Bulacan and Pampanga. However, the heavy flooding brought by typhoons Pedring and Quiel in some towns last September and early October was unforeseen.
Tonight (October 20) in “Krusada,” Karen Davila will explain how anthropogenic activities such as irresponsible garbage disposal and deforestation led to the overflowing of rivers, which caused extremely high flood water levels in these areas.
Karen will also survey the country's waterways system and consult with an expert on how fishponds and deep wells contribute to the problem of flooding.
How do we take care of our rivers so flooding can be prevented?
Find out tonight (October 20) in “Krusada” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or catch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Ch. 26), 9:15 pm. Listen, take part and be one with Karen’s crusade because it takes more than words to make a stand.
