TRANCEDING BORDERS: I-Witness journeys through South Korea, the UAE, and Japan for episodes airing beginning February 28

This 2026, GMA Network’s multi-awarded and the Philippines’ longest-running documentary program, I-Witness, goes global as it embarks on a remarkable journey across South Korea, the UAE, and Japan—three nations where Filipino stories and world cultures meet. The episodes are set to air on February 28, March 7, April 18, and May 30.

In South Korea, John Consulta explores the history and friendship between the two nations, as the Philippines and South Korea mark 77 years of diplomatic ties. Beyond K-pop and K-dramas, he revisits the legacy of Filipino soldiers who fought for Korea’s freedom and the thriving connections that endure today.

In the United Arab Emirates, Atom Araullo journeys through Dubai, the “City of Gold,” to uncover how Filipinos have built lives, dreams, and businesses around the symbol of success: gold. Amid dazzling skylines, he finds that the true measure of wealth lies in resilience, sacrifice, and faith.

Atom continues his journey in Japan, where he ventures to Hakuba Village and Takayama City. Here, he discovers a young generation bridging the gap between nature and innovation and a master craftsman preserving centuries-old artistry—a reflection of Japan’s harmony between tradition and progress.

Through breathtaking visuals and powerful storytelling, I-Witness celebrates Filipino spirit, global connection, and cultural pride with stories that transcend borders and time. From the battlefields of the past to the skylines of tomorrow, I-Witness continues to bring stories that move and inspire, told through the lens of truth, humanity, and discovery.
