[edit] History

Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko was first broadcast on GMA Network on December 1, 1975, with original hosts, Rosa Rosal (a longtime and tireless Red Cross volunteer), Orlando "Orly" Mercado (later to become a Senator and Defense Secretary) and Dr. Antonio Talusan (a renown nephrologist). KMMK has consistently played the role of being the media link between the indigent needy and the private sector. In the '80's, actress Boots Anson Roa, Susan Valdez, Connie Angeles, Cielito del Mundo all co-anchored the TV program. Two doctors, Susy Pineda (who would later become Orly's wife) and Nonoy Zuniga (also a popular singer) both beefed up the team. In the '90's, Mildred Ortega and Rose Clores, were part of the show. Dr. Susy's public health expertise helped redirect and rationalize the ever-growing scope of work of the foundation. Since 2004, Connie Angeles has been the public face of the show specially during Orly's teaching stint in Kobe, Japan. Orly continues to be involved in the foundation as its President.Today,the longest running TV show continues to survive as it embodies the credo that we are our brother's keeper.
