GMA Network Posts P2.0 Billion Net Income After Tax in H1 2025
The Network's consolidated revenues reached P10.1 billion, up from the ?7.8 billion recorded in the same period last year. Advertising revenue rose to P9.3 billion, driven by election-related placements during the May midterm polls, alongside higher revenues from production services and others.
Operating expenses (OPEX) increased by 6% to P7.6 billion, mainly due to higher cash and non-cash production costs, as well as general and administrative expenses.
Its strong revenue growth enabled the Network to deliver P3.8 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the period ending June 2025, a solid 91% increase from the previous year.
GMA Network's robust performance is complemented by its continuing dominance of nationwide ratings in H1 2025, according to Nielsen TV Audience Measurement. The multi-awarded public affairs program "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" is the most-watched show in Urban Philippines for Q2 2025.
Reaffirming its leadership as the country's most credible and top news source is GMA Integrated News. Its comprehensive 'Eleksyon 2025: The GMA Integrated News Coverage' earned the highest viewership on-air and online compared to competitions.
The Network also continues to strengthen its leadership in the digital space, securing the No. 15 spot in the Tubular Leadership Worldwide rankings for June 2025, according to data from global analytics company Tubular Labs. It remains the highest-ranking media company in the Entertainment and Media category in Southeast Asia.
As part of its 75th anniversary celebration, GMA Network launched a fresh lineup of innovative programs in June, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality storytelling.

Marcos confident US will defend PH territory
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday expressed his confidence that the United States will defend the Philippines should it face security challenges, particularly in the West Philippine Sea. Speaking to Indian news media 'Firstpost,' Marcos was asked if he is convinced that the US would come to the Philippines' defense should it face a security challenge in the region. 'I am, because the assurance is that we have been receiving in those terms from the new [US] administration before I went there, and when I went there,' Marcos replied in reference to his recent official visit to Washington, D.C. last July where he met US President Donald Trump and senior defense officials. Marcos also cited the Trump administration's 'ironclad commitment' to the Philippines amid the 'dangerous' Chinese actions in the South China Sea. 'I believe that remains constant, and I'm not surprised because we really have had a very, very long history together with the US,' the President said. 'It has been a very long and very good relationship, and I think it will remain so. I'm sure it will remain so,' he added. In July, Manila reiterated its call for China to comply with the nine-year-old arbitration ruling that nullified Beijing's claims in the South China Sea. Marcos is currently in India on a five-day state visit. Meanwhile, Marcos said the world will have to readjust to the new US tariff rates. 'That's where it stands right now, and it is just something that we will have to adjust to and the effects on our economies are all about the same,' he surmised. 'The entire world economy is going to have to readjust itself. He reinvents himself in many ways,' he added. According to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the new US tariff rates are unlikely to change. Trump had announced a new 19% tariff rate for goods from the Philippines after he and Marcos had a meeting during the Philippine President's US visit. When asked for advice how to negotiate with the US, Marcos answered, 'Just do your best' and be 'smart about it.' 'We now need to be agile, our economies need to be agile. We need to be able to adjust very quickly,' the President said. 'That's how we are structuring our economy: strong, robust, but agile, and it seems to be the most important quality right now,' he added. — RF, GMA Integrated News

Marcos expects reduction in subsidy for P20/kilo of rice
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. is expecting a reduction as to the subsidies for the government's P20 per kilo of rice initiative. 'Habang 'yung production natin gumaganda, bababa nang bababa 'yan (subsidy),' Marcos said during an interview with GMA Integrated News. 'Naabot na natin 'yung punto na masabi natin, 'O kaya na natin ito. We can afford it. We can afford the subsidy,' the President added. (We have reached the point that we can say that we can do it. We can afford the subsidy.) Marcos ensured that the coverage of the Benteng Bigas program would expand to ensure that more sectors of the population can access the staple food at a cheaper cost. Initially launched in the Visayas last April, at least 162 locations across the country have since been offering the cheaper subsidized rice, according to the Department of Agriculture. Members of the vulnerable sectors are on the priority list of who can avail the P20 per kilo of rice. The P20-per-kilo rice initiative operates primarily through KADIWA ng Pangulo outlets. The rice is being sourced from stocks of the National Food Authority (NFA), which are procured directly from local farmers. --- RF, GMA Integrated News
