Ivan Mayrina

Since joining GMA in 2000, Ivan has built a solid career as a reporter and has become one of the most reliable and credible voices in broadcast journalism.

He began his Kapuso journey as anchor of GMA News Live/Flash report and Segment Producer of the long-running morning TV show Unang Hirit. He would later become one of the on-camera personalities of Unang Hirit and has been one of its news anchors and hosts since then.

In 2018, Ivan officially joined Pia on GMA Integrated News' weekend primetime newscast 24 Oras Weekend.

As a beat reporter, Ivan has covered the justice and courts beats, the Manila Police District, community events, and national government agencies. As a Malacañang reporter, he has covered two Philippine presidents: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (June 2022-present) and former President Rodrigo Duterte (May 2021-June 2022).

Ivan has covered major national and international events, including the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda (2013), which contributed to GMA Network's third Peabody Award.

He was the first on the scene after the siege of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels in Kolambugan town in Lanao del Norte in 2008. The coverage earned for GMA's flagship newscast, 24 Oras, a "Silver World Medal" for best newscast in the 2009 New York Festivals.
