24 Oras Southern Mindanao, formerly Testigo, is a regional news program aired over GMA Davao. It provides news and features around Davao City, the entire Southern Mindanao and Soccsksargen regions, and parts of Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions. The newscast airs at 5:20 PM to 5:50 PM every Monday to Friday with its broadcast center located at Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City. It is also simulcast over radio slightly-delayed basis on via DXGM 1125 AM.

History

Its main newscaster is Tek Ocampo, he started with Testigo in 1999 and made a name as a national reporter for GMA News when he left the show in 2002. After his stint with GMA Manila, he came back to Davao to anchor the program once more.

To strengthen its commitment of bringing the latest, most credible and most comprehensive news from the region, in February 2016, the newscast started its international broadcast on GMA News TV International alongside other regional newscasts Balitang Amianan and Balitang Bisdak.[1]

Testigo ended its 15-year run on November 7, 2014 as it adopts the branding of its now-main newscast 24 Oras as 24 Oras Southern Mindanao effective November 10, following their change of graphics and theme music of the network's flagship newscast of the same name.

Since February 1, 2016, this program is the only GMA regional newscast to use the 24 Oras branding after two of its other regional newscasts reverted branding to its original names, Balitang Amianan (since 2008) and Balitang Bisdak (since 1999).

Titlecard as Testigo used until 2009, when their theme and graphics were updated; and kept their former newscast's title until November 7, 2014.
