The hosts of ABS-CBN's morning show Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG) and GMA-7's Unang Hirit do not seem affected by the network war.
UKG hosts Long Mejia, Ariel Ureta, Winnie Cordero, Jorge Carino, Anthony Taberna, Amy Perez, Jeff Canoy, and K Brosas shot a video saying "happy anniversary" to their Kapuso rival program.
Unang Hirit, which started airing in 1999, is celebrating its 20th year.
Jeff Canoy posted the video on his Twitter account on December 3. The video also happened to be shown on live TV.
The UKG hosts said, "Mula po sa pambansang morning show ng Pilipinas, happy anniversary, Unang Hirit!"
Jeff also wrote in his tweet, "Mula sa @ukgdos, happy 20th anniversary sa @UnangHirit!"
Before Unang Hirit finished its December 3 episode, the hosts of the Kapuso show took time to thank the Kapamilya hosts for their greeting.
Arnold Clavio said, "Nais nating pasalamatan ang isa sa mga bumati sa atin, ang mga taga-UKG."
The other hosts of Unang Hirit—Lhar Santiago, Suzi Entrata, Luane Dy, Susan Enriquez, Pia Arcangel, and Mang Tani Cruz—cheered and said hello to the hosts of their rival program.
Arnold also posted a separate thank you message for the UKG hosts on his Instagram account.
Arnold took a video of himself and said, "Sa mga bumubuo po ng UKG, maraming salamat sa inyo pong naging pagbati po sa amin sa Unang Hirit."
He wrote in his caption, "Maraming salamat sa pagbati @iamtunying28 at sa @ukgdos"
