FELIPE GOZON

President and CEO GMA Network, Inc.

This Yale- trained topnotch lawyer turned around GMA Network from a sluggish, second-fiddle network 15 years ago into a dynamic broadcast behemoth to become No. I in ratings, audience share, credibility, and public trust.

In November this year, the market value of GMA Network, Inc. rose by P5 billion or 28 percent to P25 billion from a low of P20 billion barely nine months ago.

The network claims to be the largest. Its nationwide ratings hit 37.4 percent in September alone, compared with rival ABS-CBN’s 34.9 percent, per Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

Profits have risen 80 percent, and will exceed the whole 2014 income and more than make up for the decline in profits in 2013.

For every P100 of revenue, GMA makes more than double the money its rival network makes, thanks to savvy programm ing and marketing, and of course, unrivalled public trust.
