History

When the newscast was launched on January 16, 1995 on DXLL-TV, it was first known as "Chavacano TV Patrol". First anchored by Irene Covarrubias and Roland Ramos, the studios of TV Patrol has lack of broadcast equipments since the network was newly transferred to the old PBS studios. From that date up to 2004, the news was ended with Zamboangueño Chavacano quotes or sayings (translated to English) called El Refran del Dia.

The newscast renamed into "TV Patrol Chavacano" in 1996. Hoy Gising! segment was aired on this newscast. Other news portions were Chavacano Starnews and Editorial by Reynerio Candido, who was later the main anchor. The same year, broadcast facilities for TV Patrol Chavacano were upgraded. Thus it was seen live.

When Ramos left the newscast in 1997, he was replaced by Butch Bustamante, who joined Irene Cobarrubias until her departure in 1999. Jennifer Villanueva joined the newscast in 2000 along with Bustamante and Candido.

Butch Bustamante left the newscast in 2001 to run for a seat in the Zamboanga City council, as well as Reynerio Candido three years later. Candido also ran successfully for a seat in the Zamboanga City council in 2004. Villanueva left the newscast in 2006 as she was replaced by Jewel Mendoza-Reyes.

In January 2014, Reyes is joined by Darla Laude, but left a month later.

In January 12, 2015, the program celebrated its 20th anniversary and inserted a "20" to its title card.
