Gus Abelgas started his career as a correspondent for a tabloid paper before moving to television.[2]

Abelgas joined ABS-CBN as early as 1987 as a member of the network's news team. He covered various natural disasters and events such as the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. Abelgas later shifted his focus to investigative journalism.[1]

He covered crimes as an anchor in True Crime and Private I.[2] In S.O.C.O. (Scene of the Crime Operatives) he worked with police and interviewed crime witnesses.[1] He also communicates with convicted and suspected criminals as part of his work in S.O.C.O.. Of his own approach, Albegas said he talks with the suspect calmly. He has received death threats from people whom he helped imprison -this became frequent that Abelgas no longer finds it bothersome.[3]
