      Hataw Pinoy Chicago!’s first episode was aired on November 30,  2003 and after a mere 2 years in existence, it has already gained a faithful following among members of the Filipino-American community as well as other ethnic groups in the area. Its viewership continues to grow as word of the show spreads through word of mouth and through the publication of publicity materials in the community newspapers.

      Everyone involved in the production is dedicated to the cause of offering its audience a Filipino-American variety show that every Pinoy would be proud of.  They have their eyes set on their goal and hope to bring the show to much wider audience in the future. Today Chicago, tomorrow the world!
