Net25 Marks 25 Years of Broadcasting, Reaffirms Commitment to Public Service

How's This for a symmetrical alignment? The year 2025 indeed marks the significant 25th anniversary of NET25, the flagship television station of Eagle Broadcasting Corporation. It's noteworthy that NET25 pioneered digital broadcast TV in the Philippines back in 2000. The network's reach extends beyond television, encompassing DZEC Radyo Agila 1062 and their FM station, Eagle FM 95.5, as well as five other Radyo Agila AM stations located in Lucena, Dagupan, Cebu, Naga and Davao.

As NET25 president Caesar Vallejos so aptly put it, "For 25 years, NET25 has stood firm in its commitment to truth and genuine public service. This milestone is not just a celebration of our journey; it is a reaffirmation of our responsibility to inform, inspire and serve the Filipino people with integrity and purpose."

And because NET25's 25th anniversary is truly a milestone event, the network has organized a series of activities throughout the year. One of these was the Third NET25 Golf Cup, held on April 14 at the Alabang Country Club.

The event saw Mata ng Agila news anchor Alex Santos teeing off alongside other celebrity golfers such as Anthony Suntay, Epi and Vandolph Quizon, and Randy Santiago. Several other NET25 personalities, including Korina Sanchez-Roxas, Rikki Mathay, Tonipet Gaba, Love Añover, and talents from Starkada, also graced the event. The awarding ceremonies were hosted by Vince and Patricia Hizon.

Moving from the greens of the golf course, NET25 hosted an even grander celebration for the 10th anniversary of their "Summer Blast" concert. The event took place at the Philippine Arena, the world's largest indoor arena situated in Bocaue, Bulacan, on April 27.

Indeed, the sheer number of people I saw gathered at the Philippine Arena Complex in Ciudad de Victoria that day must have set some kind of a record. Unofficial estimates suggest a massive crowd of around 100,000 individuals, all enjoying the various amusement rides, food booths and outdoor activities.
