Mayor Turabin-Hataman, who was joined by department heads, partner agencies and institutions, thanked everyone who attended the launch and invited other offices and institutions to join the effort.

“When you have an informed citizenry, half of your work as public servants is done. If you have an informed citizenry, sila ho ang maaasahan natin, kaakibat at partner natin sa lahat ng gusto nating gawin. On the other hand, ‘pag ang citizenry mo ay vulnerable sa maling information, ang laking talo,” she said in her message.

She also reiterated the motivation for founding IsaTV and mentioned that people are more receptive to information packaged in an entertaining manner.

Meanwhile, teasers of IsaTV programs were shown to give the audience a glimpse of the content, format, personalities and other topics the viewers can look forward.
