GMA Network, Inc. announces the appointment of Vice President for News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva as Officer-in-Charge of GMA Integrated News and Senior Assistant Vice President and Deputy Head for Synergy Marivic Araneta as Officer-in-Charge of GMA Regional TV and Synergy following the early retirement of Oliver Victor Amoroso as Senior Vice President and Head for Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy.

Concurrent Vice President for News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva has been with GMA Network since 1997. From overseeing newscasts and specials as Program Manager, Seva rose through the ranks and was appointed Assistant Vice President in 2010, followed by promotions to Senior Assistant Vice President in 2017 and Vice President for News Programs and Specials in 2020. She led the production of a portfolio of high-performing, award-winning news programs and specials. As concurrent OIC of the GMA Integrated News, she will oversee the day-to-day operations of the entire department.

Meanwhile—Marivic Araneta, Senior Assistant Vice President and Deputy Head for Synergy and OIC of GMA Regional TV and Synergy—will lead the Regional TV and Synergy Department, including Regional TV's Central Office operations. Araneta, who began her journey at GMA Network in 2004 as Promotions Manager for its Viewer-Directed Marketing Division, took on the role of Sports and Special Projects Manager in 2009 and later became the Senior Programming Manager for GMA Regional TV. In May 2022, Araneta was named Assistant Vice President for Local Content Production before being promoted to Senior Assistant Vice President and Deputy Head for Synergy five months later.

A loyal Kapuso for almost two decades, Amoroso was appointed as Acting Head of the GMA News Group in 2022. In 2023, he was promoted to Senior Vice President for Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy. He spearheaded the successful integration of GMA News Manila, GMA Regional TV, GMA News Online, and Super Radyo DZBB into GMA Integrated News, solidifying its position as the Philippines' top multimedia news source and the “News Authority of the Filipino.” He also oversaw the Network's regional operations, content and production, and business development, including 12 TV stations strategically located across the Philippines and handled the Network's various initiatives and partnerships, including sports production.
