The Mike Enriquez Mel Tiangco Tandem is so popular in the broadcast industry
Mike Enriquez Mel Tiangco Tandem – Netizenz recalled the tandem of Mel Tiangco and Mike Enriquez after the latter’s death.
Mel and Mike are among the prominent news personalities. For many years, they have been together in the Kapuso primetime news program 24 Oras. In the past months, Mike took a break from doing shows due to his health condition.
On August 29, Mike’s death was announced and GMA Network issued an official statement on this sad news.
Following the announcement of Mike’s death, Vicky Morales broke down on national TV. She could not contain the grief she felt as she also spent many years working with the late broadcaster.
Netizens also expressed their grief over Mike’s death and showed sympathy to the loved ones of Mike. On X Mel Tiangco also became a trending topic following the death of the veteran broadcaster.
Many netizens recalled the fondest memories they have featuring the tandem of Mel and Mike on TV. X user @miniemitten recalled that years back then, the two news anchors were part of the netizen’s school night.
among my earliest memories are school nights where i stop my homework and sit on our long sofa with my grandparents to watch the news (we weren't wealthy enough for cable tv). as time went on, i think i made a connection between mr. mike and tita mel with my grandparents. https://t.co/9lCp1nV7HU

A netizen has a funny recollection of the tandem of Mel and Mike because their voices served as a time indicator that it was time to go home. “I’m not a news enthusiast as a kid, but when I heard Mr. Mike Enriquez, Tita Mel Tiangco and Ms. Vicky Morales’ voice, i knew, I had to go home or else,” X user @JangmiRose3e shared.
