Magandang Gabi... Bayan (transl.Good Evening... People) named after the signature open and closing lines of Noli de Castro, was a Philippine news magazine program which aired on ABS-CBN. It premiered on August 21, 1988, and ended on December 31, 2005.

History

The program was first broadcast on August 21, 1988, with its first anchor Kabayan (transl. compatriot or fellow countryman) Noli de Castro. The program's aim was to expose illegalities of some Philippine government officials as well as to render public service to the Filipinos.

The program was styled in the lines of U.S. news magazine programs 60 Minutes and Dateline. At Undás (All Saints' Day) every year, special episodes featuring horror stories were broadcast. Theses included reenactments of alleged paranormal incidents around the country.[3][4][5][6]

After de Castro's election as Senator of the Philippines in 2001 and subsequent election as Vice President of the Philippines in 2004, the show had substitute hosts, including Kat de Castro (De Castro's daughter), Erwin Tulfo and Henry Omaga-Diaz.

The final episode was broadcast on December 31, 2005.
