For the enhancement of People's Television Network (PTV4), Japan committed to give 38.20 million yen or P16.428 million to improve its programs and there are major changes to be expected.
Japanese Ambassador Kazuhide Ishikawa together with Foreign Affairs Secretary Jose Rene Almendras signed the Cultural Grant Aid for PTV4 last June 17.
"Grant will cover the acquisition of programs produced by the NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster," the Japanese embassy said in a statement.
They said that their are new programs will be introduced on PTV4, including the 167 documentaries and the 522 shows about Japanese culture, disaster preparedness, and deepening the understanding of the human condition.
After incoming Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte decided to boycott the media more Filipinos are expected to tune in to PTV4 and Radio Television Malacañang.
In a interview with ANC, the Incoming Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin Andanar said that a former ABS-CBN executive is fit to become the General Manager (GM) and news director of PTV4.
