GMA is First Local TV Network to Implement Closed Captioning in Philippine Free TV
Leading broadcast station GMA Network has officially started implementing closed captioning beginning October, becoming the first local TV station in the country to do so.
Offering a more inclusive viewing experience, GMA’s closed captioning enables its viewers to read a full transcription of the dialogue as well as other key elements of the program such as background music, effects, etc. at the bottom part of the screen. This is especially beneficial to viewers who are deaf or who are hard of hearing.
The Network’s move is in compliance with Republic Act No. 10905, which requires “all franchise holders or operators of television programs to broadcast or present their programs with closed caption option…"
An initial test of this service was applied to the film Mission Impossible, which was aired on Kapuso Movie Festival last September 28.
Currently, the Network is fully implementing closed-captioning in all movie blocks shown on GMA-7 and select movies on GMA News TV and will be operational on certain television models.

Veteran actor Chinggoy Alonso passed away last Sunday, October 15. He was 67 years old.
According to his manager, Shirley Kwan, Alonso died at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Chinese General Hospital in Manila due to colon cancer.
Kwan said arrangements are being finalized for the actor's wake at the Garden of the Divine Word in Christ the King in Quezon City.
A distinguished theater actor since the '60s, Alonso was also part of many films and teleseryes. His recent projects include the ABS-CBN shows "Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon" and "Wildflower," and the movies "Etiquette for Mistresses" and "The Healing."
A product of the University of the Philippines, Alonso joined the international group of the UP Concert Chorus and appeared in many concerts and musicals here and abroad.
Theater aficionados also remember his portrayals of Captain von Trapp in "The Sound of Music," Don Quixote in "Man of La Mancha," and Professor Higgins in "My Fair Lady."
