Perspective
Sumangil was a production assistant and researcher of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs for three years, before moving to GMA Network in 2004 as a writer and producer of GMA Public Affairs programs' segments.[1][2][3] He eventually reassigned to a field journalist covering criminal activities exclusively,[4][5] drawing inspiration from then-GMA Integrated News reporter Michael Fajatin.[1] Sumangil's scoops particularly included the newscast 24 Oras's "Justiis: Condominium Behind Bars", which focused on Santa Rosa City District Jail's crowds. It received a nomination for a Golden Nymph Award.[5] In 2017, he contributed the "Sa Pusod ng Digmaan" documentary in i-Witness.[6]
News TV Quick Response Team, a newscast in which an anchor was "on-the-scene" within the present-day events, marked Sumangil's first anchoring stint in 2018. With his blessing, he replaced Jiggy Manicad, who left the network to run for senator in 2019.[7][8][9] Sumangil co-hosted the magazine program Dapat Alam Mo! from 2021 to 2023, alongside Kim Atienza and Patricia Tumulak.[10][11] Program manager Mon Torres assigned Sumangil after News TV Quick Response Team was ended due to GMA News TV's programming changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13] Drawing from his music hobby, as well as given his traditional occupation, Sumangil stated that he had a unique persona for the program.[14]
In May 2023, Sumangil hosted the investigative public service show Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso. As his first solo program, it focuses on giving a resolution of community problems in the Philippines. Sumangil had doubts about becoming a successor to broadcaster Mike Enriquez.[a] He joined 24 Oras as a regular anchor in November 2023.[2] During Enriquez's medical leave before his death, Sumangil temporarily worked on the newscast,[16] and thought that this could prepare him for an opportunity to pursue it permanently. He accepted the offer after having newscasting lessons.[17] Sumangil described his position on 24 Oras as an aspiration during his early career.[5]
