Martin Andanar - The Man of Podcasts and His Mancave

I knew Martin Andanar years ago wherein they pioneered one of the first Facebook-interactive group for The Evening News (T.E.N.) which gathered thousands of members from all over the country and even beyond. And even with the changes that have happened with TV5 in the past years in which brought the formation of new news mediums such as Radyo5 and News5 which expands the networks reach to the masses.

Martin played a big part with these changes, and currently heads  News5 Everywhere & TV5 Everywhere, which are very active online portals for news and information. He would also be very busy with his daily shows on Radio and TV, yet still finds time to work on his new passion which is podcasting.
