The show aimed to reconnect families with their long-lost loved ones with the help of the government and private groups.[1][2] Often, the cases involved young children or senior citizens. The series searches for missing persons by looking over the COMELEC’s voting list or the National Statistics Office records for data on the person. Then they flash the missing person’s name and photo on air. Aside from searching for missing persons, the series also advises televiewers on how they can avoid these situations.[2]
The idea for the show came back when Jessica Soho was still hosting the late-night magazine show Jessica Soho Reports before she was moved to primetime with Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho. During one slow news week, Soho came up with the idea of reporting on a story about missing children. Their first episode with that concept showed three missing children. A day after the episode aired, all three children were reunited with their families.[3]
From that episode, a weekly program locating missing persons was launched. It was first known as Sana'y Muling Makapiling and later changed its title to Reunions. The show aired on Tuesdays at 10 p.m., primetime.[2][4] By 2007, more than 200 reunions were featured.[4]
In six years, by the time show ended, 800 families were reunited.[3] When the show ended, the concept lived on in Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.[3] The series is streaming online on YouTube.[5] Sometimes, episodes are rerun during the Holy Week.[6]
