For his wit and no-nonsense commentaries, broadcast journalist and radio commentator Anthony “Ka Tunying” Taberna has been added to the growing roster of broadcast personalities joining the Advanced Media Broadcasting System’s (AMBS) AllTV.

He was accompanied by his wife and Outbox Media’s top executive, Rossel.
AllTV is the newest TV network joining the Philippine broadcast spectrum that aims to provide Filipino viewers an elevated TV experience in the country.
Tolentino cited Taberna’s high-trust rating as the reason why AllTV tapped him as one of the pioneer talents of the new TV network.

The country’s top radio and TV commentator said he is humbled by the move to tap him as one of the pioneer broadcast personalities for the new TV network.
“Thank you po sa pamilya ng AMBS dahil pamilya n’yo na ako ngayon. Salamat po sa tiwala ninyo sa akin. Alam ninyo, pinag-uusapan nga namin ng aking boss — ang aking misis — kung ano ang maiiambag natin sa larangan ng telebisyon… sabi niya sa akin, 48 years (old) pa lang naman ako sa January… Kumbaga ay napakamura ko pa lang po para lumisan sa larangan ng telebisyon,” he said during the event.
Taberna, who has been in the broadcast industry for 30 years, said he is excited about this new partnership.
“Ang pagsimula po ng aking pang-40 na taon sa pamamahayag, kasama ko po ang AMBS-AllTV,” he said.
