ABS-CBN broadcast journalist Alvin Elchico has officially joined “TV Patrol” as one of its main anchors along with Noli de Castro, Karen Davila, and Bernadette Sembrano on Monday night (Sept. 2).

“Panibagong yugto na naman ng aking buhay sa newsroom ang aking tatahakin at araw-araw na ako magbabalita sa ‘TV Patrol.’ Maraming, maraming salamat po sa tiwala,” said Alvin.

Prior to joining “TV Patrol” weeknights, Alvin served as the anchor of “TV Patrol Weekend” for 13 years, while also covering the energy and consumer beat.  Starting as a field reporter, Alvin later became the face and anchor of “TV Patrol Bacolod.” 

Upon relocating to Manila, Alvin joined ABS-CBN’s AM radio station DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 where he continued his work as one of ABS-CBN’s field reporters.

Apart from “TV Patrol,” Alvin continues to anchor “Gising Pilipinas” with Doris Bigornia on Teleradyo Serbisyo.

Alvin took over the news anchor duties of Henry Omaga Diaz, who bid farewell to viewers last Friday night as he prepares to join his family in Canada after many years of dedicated service as an ABS-CBN broadcast journalist and news anchor.  

“Salamat po sa lahat ng Kapamilya na patuloy na tumatangkilik sa ABS-CBN News. Ipinapangako po namin na hindi naming kayo iiwan at patuloy naming palalakasin at pagagandahin ang pagkalap ng balita at impormasyon para sa sambayanang Pilipino sa Pilipinas at sa buong mundo,” said Alvin.
