One of the innovative projects introduced by Kuya Daniel through UNTV was the use of drone technology for media and rescue operations since 2013. This was part of his news-and-rescue advocacy, “Tulong Muna Bago Balita” (Rescue First Report Later).

“Tulong Muna” was introduced in 2010 as the new journalism model of UNTV. Kuya Daniel is Chairman and CEO of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International (BMPI), the content provider company for UNTV.

According to its website, the 2014 Digital Asia Expo and Conference will highlight the emergence of digital media displays and invite local and international experts in the digital media industry.
