The program premiered on May 19, 2017, and is supposed to air every Friday at 7:00 p.m. (UTC 08) on the government-owned People's Television Network.[1] In the pilot and so far only episode of the program, Duterte discussed the appointment of Roy Cimatu as the new Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) secretary, replacing Gina Lopez.[3]
The program is supposed to be a spin-off of the long-running television program "Gikan sa Masa, para sa Masa", a weekly talk show that aired every Sunday morning over ABS-CBN Davao when Duterte was still the mayor of Davao City and until the start of his presidential campaign.[4] In January 2023, it began airing on SMNI, and reverting to its original title.[5]
In August 2016, a state-owned free tabloid newspaper, named after the program's title, was introduced to the public.[6]
Temporary suspension
editOn December 18, 2023, Gikan sa Masa was suspended for two weeks by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) due to Duterte's death threats against Alliance of Concerned Teachers Rep. France Castro in two separate episodes: October 10 and November 15, despite an initial warning already being issued by the MTRCB on November 8.[7][8]
