Returning TV Patrol anchor, Karen Davila became a trending topic on Twitter after Noli de Castro withdrew his candidacy for senator on October 13.
After 11 years, Karen Davila returned to TV Patrol, replacing seasoned anchor Noli de Castro, who filed for senatorial candidacy on October 8.
Davila was welcomed to TV Patrol on October 11. Her return trended because of a ‘leaf blooper’ during her outro on the show, caused by strong winds outside the ABS-CBN building.
However, few days after her return to the news show, de Castro announced his withdrawal from his senatorial bid. He believes that he will be able to help more people as a broadcaster rather than a politician.
With this, netizens were concerned about what will happen to Davila since de Castro may return to the TV Patrol.

Some prefer Davila on the news show than de Castro. So, they advised de Castro not to return to TV Patrol.
We need Karen Davila there. No need for Noli.

For me, it's time for Kabayan Noli to rest as a newscaster in TV Patrol. Davila is such a great addition to the roster. Okay na ako sa HOD – Ate B – Miss Karen trio.

No, back out from the race but don't go back to TV Patrol. I like Karen there https://t.co/sMQpVwKKtN

As much as see Noli de Castro as the icon of TV Patrol, happy na ako sa lineup ni Karen Davila, Bernadette Sembrano ad Henry Omaga Diaz.

I still prefer Karen Davila over Noli De Castro kahit na minsan masyadong eager magtanung.
Bagay naman sina Karen-Henry-Ate B eh.
At least yung TV Patrol Sabado, nandun pa rin sina Ate Zen at Sir Alvin. Solid pa rin ang Weekend edition.#TVPATROL#KarenDavila

Happy na kami kay Karen Davila. Huwag ng bumalik si Noli sa TV Patrol

However, some also pitched to let de Castro come back so, and the TV Patrol will have four newscasters.
Para mas maganda ang TV Patrol, Gawin na nilang apat na news broadcaster para sa mas maluwag, mas mabilis, mas siksik, at mas mahabang pagbabalita.

TV Patrol: 4 is Better than just 3 news broadcaster.
Kabayan Noli de Castro, Karen Davila, Henry Omaga Diaz, and Bernadette Sembrano are 4 most trendy news broadcaster in the Philippines 🇵🇭
So please Let's stop because there are only 3, that's not enough! Four Can Get Four

Netizens also suggest keeping Davila in TV Patrol and reviving ‘Magandang Gabi Bayan’ for de Castro.
Just give Noli de Castro the same format like his old days "Magandang Gabi Bayan" weekly program. There he cn discuss or features any topic that hounding our country & the ppl.
Karen Davila deserves to be in TV Patrol. Young and with fresh mind.

Karen Davila is best for TV Patrol. I'd say a reboot of Magandang Gabi Bayan would be the perfect comeback for Kabayan Noli De Castro. Perfect timing ang Halloween for the launch.Gosh nostalgia I'm ready for you☺️

Noli de Castro has been one of the original hosts of TV Patrol since the show was established in 1987.
Davila was still part of the show on the October 15 episode of TV Patrol, and de Castro did not yet return.
