News purveyor NET25’s website carried a weekend front page that ran from Malacañang to the Senate, from the Luzon Strait to a highway in Bavaria, and from Cavite to the medal podium in Nagoya.
The network makes a conscious effort to keep its weekend front page as full as a weekday’s, because weekends are when working Filipinos, provincial families and OFWs finally have time to read.
The top stories on the NET25.com portal from October 2 to 4, 2026 show that range of topics.

Through this lineup, NET25 ensures that a reader who opens the portal on a Sunday morning finds the same depth as on a Monday, in Filipino and in English.
This news is what should make the NET25 website’s “front page” a daily habit rather than a weekday one — information that is free to read anytime, anywhere on the NET25.com portal, and also carried on Mata ng Agila on Digital Free TV Channel 28 and Analog Free TV Channel 25.
NET25 continues to affirm its role as the “alternative mainstream” in Philippine broadcasting through a news and info portal that’s conscious about every Filipino’s needs, whether it’s the commuter, the OFW, the homebuyer or the sports fan. The media giant is providing a reliable space for catching up with what’s happening all around.
