*GMA, WHERE YOU BELONG (I'm home!) | 1994

The GMA Rainbow Satellite: Where You Belong Station ID from May 1994 is a cherished piece of Philippine television history, evoking warm memories for many Filipinos. It transports viewers back to what is often called the “golden age” of TV—when GMA’s lineup was a mix of beloved variety shows, Disney cartoons, and NBA games. For many, watching this Station ID meant gathering around a neighbor’s television, as color TVs were still a status symbol. It featured GMA’s “Big 3” stars—Kuya Germs, Ate Vi, and Ate Luds—who defined the network’s identity in the early ‘90s. The jingle, reminiscent of a lullaby, carried an emotional weight, especially its heartfelt closing line: “I’m home!” Some even note its similarities to American jingles, like WJZ-TV’s theme. More than just a branding piece, the song captured a deep sense of home, comfort, and belonging. It portrayed GMA as more than a network—it was a gathering place, a trusted companion, and a bridge between generations. The lyrics exuded warmth and happiness, reinforcing the idea that GMA wasn’t just about shows; it was about shared experiences that felt like home. With lyrics by Menardo Jimenez, Sr., music by George Canseco, and vocals by the Men and Women of JAM Creative Productions (inspired by JAM’s WJZ-TV 13’s It’s a Good Feeling to Know), this Station ID remains a nostalgic time capsule. It reminds us of an era when television wasn’t just something to watch—it was something that brought people together. It's a place that you come home to It's where everything's just fine that we could share together To pass away the time Moments that you treasure. A smile that you can't hide the brothers of tomorrow just building up inside It's where you belong, It's the place where you belong It's where you belong, GMA's where you belong Good friends, old and new Friends you know are always true It's where you belong, GMA It's where you, you, you, it's where you belong. #GMARainbowSatellite #WhereYouBelong #GMANetwork #
