AS part of the channel’s continuous undertaking to give to its viewers a line up of locally produced world’s best shows, Q-11 further fortifies its roster of public affairs programs via its new shows airing this February: "The Beat," "Reunions," and "Hired."

Hosted by Ivan Mayrina and Miriam Quiambao, together with Tonipet Gaba and Valerie Tan, "The Beat" is all set to spice up Monday late nights with a dose of the latest news and stories that matter to the Filipino lifestyle. The show premiered yesterday, February 4 at 10 p.m.

Covering a wide variety of topics for its viewers, "The Beat" is a fast-paced, one-hour program with a number of segments that are packed with tons of useful information presented in a more interesting and entertaining fashion. "Hindi siya straight news. We’ll feature things that we don’t normally see in the newscast," says Ivan.

Through its unique segments, viewers will be updated with the latest trends in fashion, the coolest gadgets, the hippest places to see and be seen, and the best dining experiences.

Bannered by no less than multi-awarded and most respected broadcast journalist in the country, Jessica Soho, "Reunions" aims to bring back the joy in the lives of Filipinos in search of their missing loved ones. Considered as the first of its kind in local television, the show tirelessly coordinates with local government units including shelters to end the search of the missing, and hopefully end in happy reunions.

"We realized through ‘Reunions’ that it’s not impossible to locate a missing person, at least, in the Philippines. We learned that there are agencies that give temporary shelters to vagrants and drifters but there wasn’t anyone helping them reunite the stowaways with their families," she shares. "Reunions" airs starting tonight (February 5) at 10.

Aspiring for a dream job? Q-11 is very much willing to help via "Hired." Hosted by the tandem of Paolo Abrera and Mariz Umali, "Hired" is the only reality show in the country that features dream job opportunities for its viewers.

"Not only are we going to help aspirants land in their dream jobs, the program will also become a medium for companies to find deserving employees as well as advertise their names," says Mariz.

Airing Sunday, February 10 at 8 p.m., "Hired" will also offer practical and useful tips on job hunting. "We’ll also share tips for job hunters on how to make themselves more marketable to potential employers and show them specific skills that they must develop for a particular field that they may be interested in," adds Paolo.
