Gud Morning Kapatid (transl. Good Morning Sibling, stylized as Güd Morning Kapatid) is a Philippine television news and talk show produced by TV5. Originally hosted by Justin Quirino, Gretchen Ho and Jes delos Santos, it premiered on June 19, 2023, on the network's Gandang Mornings line up.[1][2]
Maoui David, Chiqui Roa-Puno, Dimples Romana, Ted Failon, Czarina 'DJ Chacha' Guevarra, Andrei Felix, and Angela Lagunzad-Castro currently serve as the show's hosts.[3][4] It airs from Monday to Friday, 5:30 am to 8:00 am (PHT), on TV5 and its livestreaming channels; with simulcast on RPTV from 6:00 am PHT. Since October 2024, the show hooks up the first newscast segment from Ted Failon and DJ Chacha sa True FM, which airs on True Network outlets and affiliates (except DXET-FM Davao).
Overview
The TV5 management conceptualized the morning show in 2023 when Frontline Sa Umaga was still on air. Gud Morning Kapatid premiered on June 19, 2023, originally replacing Frontline sa Umaga, which back then was relegated as a segment for the show. Originally aired from 9:30-11:00 a.m. PHT, the program later cut its airing to 75 minutes (from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. on May 6 to July 12, 2024, and later from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. by July 15, 2024). Justin Quirino, Gretchen Ho and Jes delos Santos served as the original hosts.
In October 2023, Maoui David, Chiqui Roa-Puno and Dimples Romana gradually joined the show as hosts.[2][5]
The three original hosts eventually left the show on different dates: On November 3, 2023, Ho announced her departure, to focus on anchoring The Big Story on One News. Later, on October 17 and 18, 2024, Delos Santos and Quirino quietly departed, respectively; the former continues to anchor for Frontline Pilipinas Weekend, while the latter leaving the network altogether, as revealed on social media.
On October 21, 2024, the network announced a major revamp in its daytime programming, with Gud Morning Kapatid moving its timeslot to 5:30 a.m., and extending to 2½ hours, directly competing for the first time with other morning shows along the same airtime: PTV's Rise and Shine Pilipinas, GMA's Unang Hirit, UNTV's Good Morning Kuya and Net 25's Kada Umaga. Angela Lagunzad-Castro, Andrei Felix (a holdover from FSU), Dr. Val Gadiaza, and Hannibal Talete joined the show. The radio tandem of Ted Failon and Czarina “DJ Chacha” Guevarra also joined the show, contributing the newscast segment of Ted Failon and DJ Chacha sa Radyo5 (later renamed as Ted Failon and DJ Chacha sa True FM), which is hooked up on TV5 from 6:30 to 7:00 a.m., marking the partial return of the radio program's simulcast on the channel after it was halted on May 3, 2024. The change also marked the re-start of the morning show's simulcast on RPTV, which used to be partially simulcast since the channel's first broadcast on February 1; albeit simulcasting only from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m., and may subject to pre-emptions due to live sports coverage commitments that the channel may carry between the said two hour period.[4]
