State of the Nation (formerly State of the Nation with Jessica Soho) is a Philippine television news broadcasting show broadcast by GMA News TV and GTV. Originally anchored by Jessica Soho, it premiered on February 28, 2011. Atom Araullo currently serves as the anchor.

Overview

The show features several guests to analyze the issues of the Philippines, as well as reports and rundown of the day's news.[1]

In March 2020, the show was temporarily suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The show resumed its programming on September 21, 2020.[2]

On January 4, 2021, Maki Pulido and Atom Araullo replaced Jessica Soho as anchors.[3] In February 2021, GMA News TV was rebranded as GTV, with the show being carried over.[4]

On October 28, 2024, due to GMA News' cost reduction, Araullo became the sole anchor of the news show and Pulido was let go from the show.[5]
