Keep the GMA channel label and viewing platform together. GMA’s international programme area distinguishes Pinoy TV, Life TV, News TV International and On Demand, with a regional programme guide. A Philippine domestic airtime should not be assumed to match an overseas edition.
Channel and platform name together
For a drama, supply the original title, season and episode rather than only the Philippine channel brand. An on-demand title and a linear scheduled episode can appear through different routes. GMA’s international page contains guide selectors, so retain the selected region and service when comparing a programme time.
Region, episode and commentary
For an overseas household, specify Filipino, English dubbing or another actual speech/subtitle need for the named show. A general international brand does not establish every programme’s language tracks. Likewise, a news service and a lifestyle programme are different viewing priorities; a full newscast may not match the short reports displayed on a news page.
Keep Philippine and overseas dates
Use Asia/Manila for the original Philippine date and the actual overseas guide region for viewing time. Keep both dates if an episode falls on different calendar days. Record the programme link, full service name and current viewing country before asking about availability. A familiar show title does not establish the rights or replay window on a separate IPTV service.
Time-zone reference locations
Asia/Manila
Use the location relevant to the viewer and the event date. IANA reference locations are not a count of distinct current offsets; do not apply one fixed offset to the whole country.
