It was then anchored by Mike Enriquez (then known as "Mr. Saksi") and Karen Davila. The first news was the "Rosing" (Angela) the most destructing super typhoon which strucks Metro Manila. Saksi became popular in such a short time, that people were using the word as a catchphrase, complete with the pointed forefinger like the program's news anchors. In the early years of the newscast, the anchors, especially Enriquez, popularized the word "pasok" (come in) in introducing reporters (who included Jessica Soho, Arnold Clavio, Mao dela Cruz and Susan Enriquez, among others). This style of introducing reporters was also previously used in GMA's other regional news programs patterned after "Saksi" like Balitang Bisdak (Cebu), Testigo (Davao) and Ratsada (Iloilo). <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">On July 1, 1996, Mel Tiangco joined Enriquez and Davila, after the former's transfer from ABS-CBN when she suspended from doing a TV commercial. Economist Solita "Winnie" Monsod also joined the newscast with her own opinion segment, "Mareng Winnie" (which became a moniker by which she has been since known for). Other special segments, such as Huling Hirit (light human-interest stories to cap the newscast, reported by Kara David) and S na S (Showbiz sa Saksi) (a showbiz segment with Lyn Ching then she anchored with Enriquez, Davila and Tiangco) were also added to the news program, as its set was reformatted & running time was expanded to 45-minutes. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">On June 1,1998, Saksi relaunched its studio set, graphics & re-updated the 1995-present logo. Partners Mel and Jay & Tapatan host Jay Sonza replaced Enriquez while he appointed as an anchor of GMA HeadlineNews with Risa Hontiveros who and the news team switched to Taglish then Filipino and Erwin Tulfo,who moved from ABS-CBN, became an anchor. Trinidad, on the other hand, became a co-host of Extra-Extra, a magazine program featuring different human-interest and entertainment stories (which also served as pre-programming to Saksi). Monsod left the newscast to host GMA's new public affairs program "Debate". The "Mareng Winnie" segment was replaced as "Pulso ng Mamamayan" (Pulse of the People), the segment features some filipino citizen say upon the pass events. Mel Tiangco, Sonza's co-host on Partners Mel and Jay, then joined the newscast as co-anchor, thus Saksi and Partners Mel and Jay are the news programs exclusive to them. When GMA Headline News transfers from English to Filipino Language, Saksi reformatted, the original subtitle, GMA Headline Balita, was dropped out in late 1998. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">On August 2, 1999, Saksi began to transfer its studio at the newly-bulit GMA Network Center.

Mike Enriquez was restored in this program although Tulfo was remained in the newscast. In the year 2000,Davila, now moved to ABS-CBN. The show won its first international awards the "Asian TV Awards". The show reformatted its logo & set, twice. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">On July 15, 2002, Tulfo left the newscast and Saksi exchanged timeslots with Frontpage in order for the latter show to compete with ABS-CBN's TV Patrol (which was, incidentally, the newscast that Tiangco came from before transferring to GMA). The shift to late-night also prompted the start of "Side Trip", a human-interest segment hosted by Howie Severino. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">In the same year, Saksi won the Gold Medal for Best  <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">Newscast in the New York Festival, becoming one of the few news programs outside the United States to receive the said honor.

The "Liga ng Katotohanan" tagline was also dropped in the newscast's titlecard. The new theme is incorporated with the elements of Saksi: Liga ng Katotohanan 2008-2011 theme music by Ryan Cayabyab. & Saksi: Liga ng Katotohanan 2004-2008 theme music by Jimmy Antiporda. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">Months after the reformat, Saksi re-designed its graphics, this features: Saksi title card and Social Media website of GMA News and in July 2013, it launched its segment "Midnight Snack", a food-trip segment hosted by Mikael Daez every Mondays to Thursdays, After a one-week hiatus, On November 5, 2013, it returned under the new title "Midnight Express". <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">As part of GMA News' shakeup, Vicky Morales bid farewell to the show after 15 years as the last remaining female anchor in Saksi and was added as the third anchor of 24 Oras.

It was then anchored by Mike Enriquez (then known as "Mr. Saksi") and Jean Garcia Eula Valdez. Saksi became popular in such a short time, that people were using the word as a catchphrase, complete with the pointed forefinger like the program's news anchors. In the early years of the newscast, the anchors, especially Enriquez, popularized the word "pasok" (come in) in introducing reporters (who included Jessica Soho, Arnold Clavio, Mao dela Cruz and Susan Enriquez, among others). This style of introducing reporters wasOn May 20, 1996, Eula Valdez joined Enriquez and Garcia, after the former's transfer from ABS-CBN when she suspended from doing a TV commercial. Economist Solita "Winnie" Monsod also joined the newscast with her own opinion segment, "Mareng Winnie" (which became a moniker by which she has been since known for). Other special segments, such as  Huling Hirit  (light human-interest stories to cap the newscast, reported by Kara David) and  S na S (Showbiz sa Saksi)  (a showbiz segment with Lyn Ching then she anchored with Enriquez-Garcia-Valdez) were also added to the news program, as set was reformatted & running time was expanded to 60 minutes.On June 1, 1998, Saksi reformatted its studio set, & graphics, but the logo has the same design Partners Mel and Jay &.Tapatan host Jay Sonza and Mel Tiangco Eula Valdez and Jean Garcia replaced Enriquez while he appointed as an anchor of GMA Headline News with Risa Hontiveroswho and the news team switched to Taglish then Filipino. Trinidad  on the other hand, became a co-host of Extra-Extra, a magazine program featuring different human-interest and entertainment stories (which also served as pre-programming to Saksi). Monsod left the newscast to host GMA's new public affairs program "Debate". The "Mareng Winnie" segment was replaced as "Pulso ng Mamamayan" (Pulse of the People), the segment features some filipino citizen say upon the pass events .Sonza's co-host on Partners Mel and Jay, then joined the newscast as co-anchor, thus Saksi and Partners Mel and Jay are the news programs exclusive to them. When GMA Headline News transfers from English to Filipino Language, Saksi reformatted, the original subtitle, GMA Headline Balita, was dropped out in late 1998.On August 2, 1999, Saksi began to transfer its studio at the newly-bulit GMA Network Center. Tiangco (who was appointed as anchor of Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco, which replaced GMA Headline News on the late-night slot but the newscasts continuously on weekends until 2002.) and Sonza left the newscast, & returning GHN anchor Mike Enriquez with Jean Garcia Eula Valdez. Enriquez-Garcia-Valdez were final anchors with him on the weekday edition of GMA Network News in their partnership. In the year 2000, Davila, now moved to ABS-CBN. The show won its first international awards the "Asian TV Awards". The show reformatted its logo & set, twice.On July 15, 2002, Saksi exchanged timeslots with Frontpage in order for the latter show to compete with ABS-CBN's TV Patrol (which was, incidentally, the newscast that Tiangco came from before transferring to GMA). The shift to late-night also prompted the start of "Side Trip", a human-interest segment hosted by Howie Severino. In the same year, Saksi won the Gold Medal for Best Newscast in the New York Festival, becoming one of the few news programs outside the United States to receive the said honor. The award (With the Peabody Award that the network won in 2000) was later recognized by the Philippine Congress by issuing the network a commendation for its work in News and Public Affairs in 2003.
