Dos Por Dos

Veteran radio reporters Gerry Baja and Anthony Taberna are both charming and funny but it doesn't end there. These two can be the deadliest in commentaries, capable of a blistering banter and clarifications on socio-political issues.

The first part of Dos Por Dos is a 15-minute newscast and the rest are filled with their sardonic views but humorous nonetheless.

 If cartoons have Tom and Jerry and Pinoy comedy has Dolphy and Panchito, brace yourselves for DZMM’s equally witty and charming dynamic duo--Tunying and Gerry!

The tandem of veteran radio reporters and commentators Anthony “Tunying” Taberna and Gerry Baja anchor the dynamic news and commentary program titled Dos Por Dos. The said on-air partnership became a hit to its loyal followers because of the two’s relentless commentaries, blistering exchange of ideas and clarifications on various socio-political issues. In fact, the essence of their program is perfectly encapsulated in its battlecry: “Humahataw…Humahagupit! Lumalatay sa Komentaryo!” Their daring opinions on different issues are balanced with their contagious good humor and frequent sardonic views. The program also includes noteworthy sound bites of news personalities.

Aside from the their own views, Tunying and Gerry pay importance to the opinions of their “textmates and textpartners.” They invite their listeners and viewers to interact with them through SMS. Most are fond of sending their violent reactions to the never-ending political circus in the country and reading such feedback adds to the substance of the program.

Anthony Taberna

Name: Anthony Taberna

Born: January 16,1975

Radyo Patrol 28, Anthony Taberna, “Tunying” to his friends and colleagues, a proud son of Nueva Ecija, has already accomplished a lot in the broadcasting industry at the young age of 33.

He started young in the industry. Anthony was 17 years old and a Mass Communication sophomore at New Era University when he had the opportunity to work as a part-time news writer at DZEC, operated by Eagle Broa dcasting Corporation. It was at this station that Anthony honed his journalistic skills and masterfully crafted his talent before a DZMM news manager took notice of him.

In 1997, Anthony transferred to DZMM after he was offered a slot with the Radyo Patrol reportorial group. As a reporter, he covered all the major beats – from Malacañang, to the Senate, House of Representatives, the Supreme Court to name a few.

In 2005, Anthony became the first recipient of the Best Radio Reporter award at the KBP Golden Dove. Indeed, this citation was well-deserved as he was the reporter who aired the content of the infamous Hello Garci recording – one of the most scandalous issues that hit our political scene in the past several years. This feat was followed by his reports from inside the San Carlos Seminary when Attorney Samuel Ong said to have had what he called the ‘mother of all tapes’, referring to the Hello Garci recording. He also proved his versatility when he gave a blow by blow account of Manny Pacquiao’s fight from ringside in Las Vegas.

Recognizing his talents, management tapped Anthony to anchor the developmental program, Ito ang Radyo Patrol, with his current on air partner, Gerry Baja. Together with Gerry, he then moved on to do Gising Pilipinas. It was while anchoring this program, Dos por Dos, a hard hitting program, was born. His incisive analysis of issues and hard-hitting commentary made Anthony a household name and also paved the way for a career on television via Magandang Umaga Pilipinas, which is now Umagang Kay Ganda.

Gerry Baja

His skills are honed by experience. There's no wonder why Gerry Baja can pull off a punch line with much wit and confidence.

Gerry's career took off early. During his junior year in college, he was hired as a news writer in DZEC of Eagle Broadcasting. He was later promoted as a reporter, covering the bloodiest coup d'etat against the Aquino administration in 1989.

In 1995, Gerry moved to ABS-CBN and worked as the Radyo Patrol 25 and later tapped as a desk editor. He got his first crack at anchoring through the program "Ito ang Radyo Patrol" aired every Sunday morning. This paved way to his partnership with Anthony Taberna.
