A typical weekend for Filipinos consists of attending mass, spending time with the family, and other relaxing and recreational activities. However, for the people behind Salamat Dok!, ABS-CBN’s multi-awarded educational-public service program, Saturdays and Sundays are spent to serve the people.
Now on its 12th year, one of the longest-running current affairs shows on Philippine TV continues to help ensure the good health and wellness of the Filipino family with informative and relevant features and interviews in the program. Airing every Saturday and Sunday morning on ABS-CBN, the country’s leading media and entertainment company, it is able to reach, inform, and educate millions of Filipinos nationwide.
Moreover, for over a decade, the show has also reached and served thousands of Filipinos directly, through medical missions which happen every week on Sundays inside the ABS-CBN compound, while the program is airing live, and in their special medical missions in baranggays in and out of the metro. Partnering with other organizations, the show is able to provide free medical services to our indigent countrymen. They were even there in the aftermath of Yolanda.
However, one does not have to look far to meet people whose lives have been touched by the program as its own hosts – Bernadette Sembrano, Alvin Elchico, and Jing Castaneda – have all been blessed by the show.
Salamat Dok! airs on ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN HD (SkyCable ch 167) every Saturday and Sunday.
