“May you continue to inspire others and elevate the standards of journalism, “ he said.

GMA Chairman Atty. Felipe L. Gozon and fellow Kapuso broadcast journalists Pia Arcangel, Atom Araullo, Mel Tiangco, Emil Sumangil, and Vicky Morales also sent congratulatory messages through a video. 

“Ivan, I am both proud and happy that you remain a loyal Kapuso for 25 years and counting. I look forward to having you with us for a very long time,” Gozon said.
