Emil Sumangil is a Filipino journalist and broadcaster. Known primarily for his work on scoops about criminal activities, he first anchored the newscast News TV Quick Response Team in 2018 before co-hosting the magazine show Dapat Alam Mo! three years later. In 2023, Sumangil joined the newscast 24 Oras as a regular anchor and had his own investigative public service show, Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso.
Career
[edit]Sumangil became a production assistant and researcher of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs in 2002. He moved to GMA Network in 2005 as a writer and producer of GMA Public Affairs programs' segments.[1][2] Sumangil eventually reassigned to a field journalist covering criminal activities exclusively,[3][4] drawing inspiration from then-GMA Integrated News reporter Michael Fajatin.[2] His scoops particularly included the newscast 24 Oras's "Justiis: Condominium Behind Bars", which focused on Santa Rosa City District Jail's crowds. It received a nomination for a Golden Nymph Award.[4] In 2017, Sumangil contributed the "Sa Pusod ng Digmaan" documentary in i-Witness.[5]
News TV Quick Response Team, a newscast in which an anchor was "on-the-scene" within the present-day events, marked Sumangil's first anchoring stint in 2018. With his blessing, he replaced Jiggy Manicad.[6][7][8] Sumangil co-hosted the magazine program Dapat Alam Mo! from 2021 to 2023, alongside Kim Atienza and Patricia Tumulak.[9][10] Program manager Mon Torres assigned Sumangil after News TV Quick Response Team was ended due to GMA News TV's programming changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[11][12] Drawing from his music hobby, as well as given his traditional occupation, Sumangil stated that he had a unique persona for the program.[13]
In May 2023, Sumangil hosted the investigative public service show Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso. As his first solo program, it focuses on giving a resolution of community problems in the Philippines. Sumangil had doubts about becoming a successor to broadcaster Mike Enriquez.[a] He joined 24 Oras as a regular anchor in November 2023.[1] During Enriquez's medical leave before his death, Sumangil temporarily worked on the newscast,[15] and thought that this could prepare him for an opportunity to pursue it permanently. He accepted the offer after having newscasting lessons.[16] Sumangil described his position on 24 Oras as an aspiration during his early career.[4]
Personal life
[edit]Sumangil is married with his wife, and have two children. He serves as a reader in a parish in Mandaluyong.[2]
