Background edit

 
Title card from June 2, 2014 – August 22, 2014, on Solar News Channel.

The show was the sole public-service program produced by CNN Philippines, carried over from the network's predecessors Solar News Channel and 9TV and the channel's first locally produced program in Filipino vernacular language, as it serves public needs. It is also CNN PH's only program that uses vernacular language until April 2016 when the network's first ever Filipino language newscast Balitaan was launched.

The program was a one-stop-shop for complainants, queries and feedback from the public to government organizations, the private sector and NGOs through their Action Center. Up-to-date live reports via phone line or on-site from CNN Philippines reporters also air on the program - albeit recently scaled down until the end of its run. Advisories on power, water interruptions and missing people are flashed on the final segment of the show. The show was anchored jointly by Gani Oro and Amelyn Veloso[4] from its inception until September 2016. This was Oro's comeback project after his unsuccessful bid for the Quezon City 5th district congressional bid in the 2013 national elections and his television return after a long stint at Super Radyo DZBB.[5]

In September 2016, Gani Oro left the network to join DZRJ 810 AM Radyo Bandido and 8TriMedia Broadcasting Network (coinciding with the launch of his new weekday afternoon program "Oro Mismo"), leaving Amelyn Veloso as the sole anchor until January 27, 2017.
