According to Kuya Daniel, the UNTV Broadcast Center is a realization of the advocacy of the network to continuously extend assistance to fellowmen.

“UNTV is open to all. It doesn’t discriminate against religion. It don’t discriminate aganst color or ethnicity. It is open to all who are in need of help. And it always ready to serve,” the veteran broadcaster said in an interview during the event.

A modern broadcast studio, an auditorium with 300-siting capacity and a full-sized basketball court will just be among the numerous ammenities of the building.

Three disks for the floating AM and FM radio stations, a restaurant and a 360-degree observatory tower will rest on top of the skyscraper.

The structure is dubbed as an iconic building that will rise along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue or commonly known as EDSA because of its unique architecture.

Mayor Bautista said that the UNTV Broadcast Center will surely become a tourist attraction because of its appearance.

Furthermore, the Quezon City Mayor shared that UNTV has done so much (for the good of the masses) in the decade it existed in the broadcast industry (under the leadership of Kuya Daniel).

“In a decade’s time of UNTV, the network has reached a long way,” Mayor Bautista said, wishing that, “Kaka (Kuya Daniel) and the leadership of UNTV last 10-more fold decades … so that they can help more people.”

The expected completion of the UNTV broadcast center is on 2016.
