Dokyu (2005) ABC, one of the major broadcast networks in the Philippines, believes in going back to the basics. The station created big waves in the broadcasting industry when it launched a new program, “Dokyu†in April 2005. Dokyu is a venue for student, independent or first-time filmmakers to showcase their documentaries. Untouched by mainstream commercialism, these are documentaries in their purest form. In its first season, 26 productions made by students from reputable colleges and universities in the country revolutionized Philippine TV through documentaries with insightful and inspiring themes, cutting edge and innovative styles. In its second season, “Dokyu†presented documentaries by NGO’s and established filmmakers with topics ranging from human rights violations in the countryside and children’s rights to Philippine cultural traditions and snapshots of smalltown village life. Like a Special Edition DVD copy of a blockbuster movie, Dokyu does not only feature the documentaries themselves but it also profiles the filmmakers and presents their commentaries. Peppered with visually striking images, Dokyu examines the idea behind each documentary. Anne Torres, a broadcast journalist known for her investigative reports, hosts “Dokyu.†As a maker of documentaries herself, she is the ideal link of the filmmakers to the typical Pinoy televiewers. “Dokyu†airs every Wednesday at 11pm on ABC.
