Daniel Razon’s a Fan of Emmy-winning TV series ‘24’

Veteran broadcast journalist Daniel Razon is a fan of 24, the Emmy-award winning television series. This we learned after watching two episodes of Good Morning Kuya when Razon indirectly implied his admiration to the popular US crime drama.

On the Monday episode (January 3) of Razon’s morning show, he jested that “We will build our own CTU,” referring to the fictional Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) from 24, the acclaimed longest-running espionage-themed television drama. On December 31, UNTV unveiled its News and Rescue Command Center.

Razon’s concept and design of the Command Center and his new studio booth, which serves as monitoring stations for their news and rescue operations, may have really been inspired by 24’s CTU.



Razon's priority has always been the delivery of public service.  The UNTV News-and-Rescue Command Center is the latest among his many public commitment initiatives. Among the public care he launched include: Clinic ni Kuya, Law Center ni Kuya, free bus and jeepney rides, and the like.

24 stars Emmy-award winner Kiefer Sutherland who played the character of Jack Bauer, a counter-terrorist agent who displays exceptional skills in combat and problem-solving. The show reaped international popularity due to its unique storyline, fast-paced sequence, and adrenaline-pumping scenes.  In every season of 24, Jack Bauer and his team’s mission is to avert terrorist activity within a limited timeframe of 24 hours. 

Meanwhile, following the debut of UNTV News-and-Rescue Command Center last New Year’s Eve, Razon broached his visions on upgrading the command center’s capability through the latest communications technology.  From his statement, Razon indirectly hinted on building a CTU which Razon will use for public service. For fans of 24, it would be easy to pick up what he meant when he said this, which somehow suggested that he wants to establish a hi-tech facility with advanced protocols similar with a CTU for more efficient operations.

In another instance, Razon’s fascination for 24 was revealed following the botched rescue and assault operation of the Philippine Police on the August 23, 2010 Manila hostage-taking.  He quipped that policemen should watch the television series 24 to learn a thing or two about crises situations.
