in San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, California. Reception In October 1988, early in the program's run, Meg Mendoza of the Manila Standard criticized the show's format, stating that "we still prefer [GMA Balita] since we can't stand the blood and gore being shown.... Sensationalism may be good for the ratings but there's no substitute to honest and intelligent reporting." In 1989, poet and literary critic Virgilio S. Almario was critical of TV Patrol's use of Filipino "siyokoy" words, loanwords from the Spanish or English language that are formed through a misunderstanding of Spanish grammar. As examples, Almario highlighted the use of the words "aspeto," "parliyamento," "pesante," and "konsernado," which he respectively corrected as "aspekto," "parlamento," "magsasaka," "paisano" or "magbubukid," and "konsernido." However, he still commends the program for "passionately" delivering news in the Filipino language. Accolades The national TV Patrol and its anchors and reporters throughout the two decades of broadcast got various local, national, and even international recognitions, such as the Asian TV Awards, New York Festivals, and the International Emmy Awards, as reported in the ABS-CBN Corporate Annual Reports. On its 1987 launch, TV Patrol got a winning nod from the 1st Star Awards for Television formed by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC). Main anchor Noli de Castro won the Best Male News Anchor that year. The provincial editions of TV Patrol Regional and their respective news teams also got notable local and national recognitions (including from KBP Golden Dove Awards and Catholic Mass Media Awards.) Among the award-winning provincial editions and regional news teams hail from TV Patrol North Luzon, TV Patrol Palawan, TV Patrol Panay, TV Patrol Negros, TV Patrol Central Visayas, TV Patrol Eastern Visayas, TV Patrol South Central Mindanao and TV Patrol Southern Mindanao.
