“It is our objective to present the reliable, truthful and most comprehensive election scenario,” PTV News and Public Affairs head Chit Gatan said.

PTV has joined forces with Philippine Information Agency, Philippine Broadcasting Service-Bureau of Broadcast Services, Philippine News Agency, and Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation to cater all poll news across the country.
