History

On August 5, 1991, ''Aksyon Ngayon'', the first ever program on AM radio devoted solely to public service, was created. First anchored by

and Ted Failon, ''Aksyon Ngayon'' immediately soared to the top of the ratings list. Because of the thousands of less-fortunate Kapamilyas flocking to the station asking for help from Aksyon Ngayon, the executives decided to create the DZMM Public Service Center, the first ever separate office exclusively designed for public service by a local AM station. To reach public service to Filipinos worldwide, the program changed its title to "Aksyon Ngayon: Global Patrol" in 2008. In 2010, for the first time in Philippine radio history, the two stations DZMM and

Format

Action is what this Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) and KBP Golden Dove Award Best Public Service/Affairs Program recipient gives to the problems and concerns of our less fortunate Kapamilyas through its Aksyon Ngayon Center that operates for eight hours, five days a week. During its broadcast, those in need of immediate government assistance can directly communicate with concerned agencies (like SSS, GSIS, LTO, and others) in person or via telephone. The program also links those who need help and donors while its on-air bulletin, "Panawagang Bayan," airs people's concerns— from lost possessions to finding missing loved ones. Like other DZMM programs, Radyo Patrol reports can interrupt the program when a story breaks.
