Palaban (2006) An economist, an investigative journalist and a beauty queen. Three people from divergent backgrounds and eras - Winnie Monsod, Malou Mangahas and Miriam Quiambao. Beginning November 8, this interesting mix of personalities will keep you company every Wednesday night, discussing issues from the boardroom to the bedroom. For this magazine-talk program, Winnie Monsod's mission is to interview the most sought after personalities in politics and business. With the former NEDA Director-General's no-nonsense approach to issues, expect juicy soundbites from people you want to hear from. Malou Mangahas, one of the founders of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, will give viewers an inside look at the lives and lifestyles of public figures. Expect investigative stories that will put the spotlight on shady government projects, and the people behind them. Palaban also sets the stage for the emergence of a new Miriam Quiambao. After showing her grit in handling a reality program, Miriam's more serious side will now be seen. The World Vision advocate for children's rights will handle a wide range of topics, from poverty to gender issues. Palaban will air every Wednesday night, right after Saksi.
