Up Close and Personal with Marissa del Mar was a public affairs talk show produced by Millicent Productions, hosted by businesswoman and socio-civic leader Marissa Del Mar, and broadcast by IBC. The program premiered in 2002 and aired every Tuesday evening. Three years after, it was moved on Wednesday nights.

On June 1, 2011, the program was effectively cancelled by IBC in preparation for the introduction of AKTV programming block on IBC-13.[1] Three months after, on September 10, 2011, Millicent Productions launched Buhay OFW that was also hosted by Del Mar and initially aired on AksyonTV and later in 5 Plus.[2]

Background

It was an informative television program that features heart-warming success stories of people through segments on lifestyle, business, events, and places of interest. More specifically, it has a special public service feature that promotes civic-mindedness and concern to special needs and special attention to children and other people who have less in life.[3]
