Rosal decided to revive her old show on GMA. Damayan once again premiered in the same year on GTV Channel 4 (which later became MBS, PTV and NBN) to provide humanitarian work through national television, together with her co-host William Thio.[3]
At the same time, Rosal hosted a drama anthology Ulila on government-owned network BBC (now ABS-CBN) from 1976 to 1980, and Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko on GMA—these particular shows earned Rosal numerous citations such as the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service in 1999, Order of the Golden Heart in 2006, and the Ading Fernando Lifetime Achievement Award in the 22nd PMPC Star Awards for TV.[2][4]
After 35 continuous years on the airwaves, Rosal announced that she would be leaving the show. It ended on November 20, 2010.[5]
