Synopsis

The main ingredient in this morning show is audience interaction and participation. In line with this new format, they are airing their show from Club O (formerly Dish) in the ABS-CBN compound to make the show more accessible to the public. The program includes live traffic points from six key points in Metro Manila, as well as occasional regional news.

In some provinces at 6:15 AM, ABS-CBN Regional Network Group would cut this program mid-way (without any notice) to air forty-five minutes of provincial morning programming. Each local morning program, produced by their respective news departments, features news and features related to its target regional audience.

Due to the network's shutdown, these regional programs are now being aired on their respective Facebook pages at 7:00 AM.

History

Umagang Kay Ganda premiered on June 25, 2007 at 5:15 AM, replacing Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas. The original hosts include Edu Manzano, Pinky Webb, Lucky Mercado, Anthony Taberna, Alex Santos, Winnie Cordero, Donita Rose, Zenaida Seva, Ogie Diaz, Kim Atienza, Bernadette Sembrano, and Rica Peralejo.

Edu Manzano and Ogie Diaz left the program more than two years later. Manzano was running for Vice President, while Diaz was concentrating on hosting Entertainment Live.

On May 11, 2009, Umagang Kay Ganda launched "Boto Mo iPatrol Mo Ako Ang Simula" in preparation for the 2010 Philippine elections.

On July 13, 2009, Ginger Conejero and Atom Araullo separately joined the program, filling the vacancy by the departure of Manzano and Diaz.

On October 21, 2009, Kim Atienza left the program to join the talent competition program Showtime (later known as It's Showtime) as one of the hosts.

On March 22, 2010, Andre Felix, Bekimon, and Phoemela Baranda joined the program as hosts. The same year, Araullo left the show to concentrate on field reporting.

On February 7, 2011, the program was reformatted, with Iya Villania, Jeffrey Tam, and Miss Universe 2010 fourth runner-up Venus Raj joining the program to replace Sembrano, Peralejo, Conejero and Bekimon. On August 1 of the same year, Bernadette Sembrano replaced Webb after the former's six-month hiatus from the show.

On January 30, 2012, Bianca Gonzalez replaced Donita Rose (who left the show to train as a professional chef), while Anthony Taberna and his Dos Por Dos co-host Gerry Baja joined the program as hosts.

On June 4, 2012, comedian-actor Ariel Ureta joined the program as one of the new hosts.

On January 28, 2013, Jorge Cariño joined the program replacing Santos, while Araullo returned to the show after three years.

On February 10, 2014, Umagang Kay Ganda shortened its timeslot from 5:00 AM to 7:30 AM to give way for the airing extension of talk show Kris TV.

On October 2, 2015, Bernadette Sembrano left the program to focus on TV Patrol.[1]

On October 23, 2015, ANC ended its simulcast for Umagang Kay Ganda in preparation for the major revamp of the channel's programming, logo and imaging. The timeslot was replaced by Mornings @ ANC and Early Edition beginning since 2015.

On June 20, 2016, Umagang Kay Ganda brings back its original three-hour runtime from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM.

On September 15, 2017, Atom Araullo left the program (following his leaving from ABS-CBN) due to his decision to return to GMA Network.[2] The next year, Kori Quintos and Jeff Canoy joined the show replacing Araullo and Alvin Pura.

On April 2, 2018, Umagang Kay Ganda switched to high definition format, along with the other ABS-CBN News programs.

On July 29, 2019, Canoy officially became part of UKG as a permanent co-host after filling-in for Araullo.

On March 18, 2020, Umagang Kay Ganda was temporarily replaced by the simulcast of DZMM TeleRadyo on the show's timeslot for the first time in years as provisional programming. Gerry Baja's Garantisadong Balita airs at 5-6am, Noli de Castro's Kabayan (6-7am; 7:30-8am), and the tag team of Ted Failon and Noli de Castro in morning newscast Radyo Patrol Balita Alas-Siyete at 7-7:30am. The program returned on air on May 4, though it begins at 6am as DZMM's Garantisadong Balita remained on air.

On May 7, 2020, Umagang Kay Ganda resumed its simulcast with ANC due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Controversy

Taberna's remarks on rape victim

On February 19, 2018, In the video, a news report of a 19-year-old girl was delivered; she was allegedly gang-raped after meeting up with someone she was chatting with online. In the background, however, Anthony Taberna’s voice can be heard, saying, "This is just remarkable. It’s not the first time that this happened. There have been so many incidents like this of eyeball meet-ups. What’s more dangerous is you not only go to that eyeball meet-up, you even went out for a drink. That’s the problem, that’s the hardest of all, especially since you’re drinking out with an all-male group." Later, seemingly cutting off Jeff Canoy, Taberna was heard saying, "No. The truth is it’s easy to say that to men. Excuse me in so far as the victim is concerned, the one who must be given justice. But this should be a warning for future incidents. If you’re a woman, don’t enter a hole of evil-doers."[3]
