Palawan News struggled with producing regular video content due to limited manpower and the high demands of traditional video production. Creating a single video required a full team (scriptwriter, videographer, editor) and several days of work, making a daily news video series unsustainable. Their existing format was also limited to text-heavy updates with no voiceovers, limiting audience engagement.

By integrating AI tools like Gemini and NotebookLM into their workflow, Palawan News reinvented its video production model. A single person could now produce a compelling, narrated news video in just a few hours. AI was used to summarize articles, write scripts, and generate visuals, removing the need for field shoots and complex logistics. Despite challenges with AI's cultural inaccuracies in image generation, the team learned to refine prompts and workflows to achieve their goals, ultimately expanding their creative freedom and enabling a consistent, daily output of engaging video content.
