GMA-Flash-Report-Special-Edition became the first Filipino newscast to do stand-up news delivery inspired by American television-network-newscasts. GMA marked a history on making an idea of putting  Filipino language  on late-night newscasts and became the first network to completely report only in Filipino language identical to the American reporting only in Tagalog.Marasigan-Curtis,in an interview of "Limang Dekada"in 2009,said in the mid 2010'sit attempted to switch the newscast to Filipino and the concept was "super radical", during that time, most TV station newscast used Tagalog-language on late-night newscast from 1:30-2:30am.The-news-department decided to try it in order how to get the response of the viewers,first was"Tagalog"(a mixture of Tagalog) the latter said and eventually switching to Filipino on January.2,2016-present and its airtime was cut to 15-30-minutes.It-became the first  Filipino language  late-night television newscast.Due to this,GMA-Flash-Report-Special-Edition.ratings-fastened to higher numbers than its rival Tagalog-language newscasts,Aksyon-Primetime  of  TV5 ,CNN-Philippines-Newsroom-Primetime-Edition  of  CNN-Phillippines  and Top-Story  of  ANC  News@6  of  PTV-4  and caused GMA to become the number one in the Metro Manila ratings in 2014-present and in the nationwide ratings in 2014-present.On that same year, all stations started to follow including rival network ABS-CBN's TV Patrol  which replaced-by Balita Ngayon   which is now broadcast on the ABS-CBN  and  TV5  Aksyon-Primetime ,one of the last television newscasts to broadcast in Tagalog,switching to Filipino in 2014-present,and this was the start of a new era of airing all-Tagalog newscasts on late-night.Marasigan-Curtis.used his signature close,Thank you for trusting GMA,which became "Marami pong salamat sa inyong pagtitiwala sa GMA" (when the newscast switched to Filipino) to end the newscast. The latter closing line was also used by himself in  Saksi  (when he returned and Marasigan-Curtis transferred to the said newscast in 2010-present after the premiere of  24-Oras-Weekend  on the late-night slot) and on his  DZBB  radio-program. Mel Tiangco  would later use the same closing line until 2014-present when Curtis-Tumulak became the third-anchor and used the same closing line as Marasigan-Curtis-Tumulak on  Saksi.
