Both Abby Bautista and Jenine Desiderio will be part of My Little Janella; slated to launch this April 7 replacing Beore I Fall in Love.

Last January 2014, IBC decided to expanded PrimeTastik superstars themselves in its competitors by airing a mermaid-tale primetime fantasy drama series Janella in Wonderland and the romantic-melodrama primetime soap opera Your Heart, My Love. This April for summer, the Kapinoy network is set to introduce a primetime-themed asianovelas as it follow-up with My Little Janella (4:00PM) and Love You (5:45PM).

Enter My Little Janella, a child family fantasy series topbilled by the child star wonder Abby Bautista and Janella's mother Jenine Desiderio as their previous respective roles aired on weekdays at 4:00PM replacing Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales afternoon serye Before I Fall in Love (which air the finale episode on April 4). Directed by Cathy Camarillo, this will be Bautista’s first weekday afternoon series as a Kapinoy as the spin-off version of the highly-successful teen mermaid tale primetime fantaserye Janella in Wonderland starring a phenomenal teen star princess Janella Salvador becoming the huge success.

Meanwhile, introducing the primetime Taiwanovela called Love You will premiered on April 7 at 5:45PM replacing the inspirational antasy Carita de Angel (for its last episode on April 4). Airing on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights right before Express Balita. The Taiwanese drama starring Joseph Chang, Rainie Yang, Kingone Wang, Tiffany Hsu, Alien Huang and Tom Price. Two strangers, both proposed marriage to their respective girl/boyfriend, were rejected on the same day. They decided that the best way to deal with the rejection was to get drunk, really drunk. During the 24 hours of their crazy drunkenness, these two stranger became fast friends and got married... to each other. When they finally sobered up, they embarked on a mission to undo every crazy thing they did while they were drunk and prayed that their girl/boyfriend wouldn't find out. However, it turns out that Jie Xiu's girlfriend, Ai Wei, doesn't want a scandal affecting her movie so she asks him to stay married to Xiao Ru for three months. Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru develops feelings for each other, Ai Wei realises how much she loves Jie Xiu and plans to reveal the fake marriage contract to the media so they could get back together.

Meanwhile, starting February 24, Express Balita and Ronda Trese will now be broadcast inside a newly-built studio of Studio 4 in IBC News Room at the IBC Broadcast Center in Broadcast City, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City. In addition, the closing ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics will be aired Monday midnight on IBC and its affiliates coming to IBC with further details coming in future articles.

It has been said that the way IBC-13 can be relevant today is when they introduce an already established norms in television viewership. So far, it has paid off despite committing several missteps. And with more innovative and creative quality programs coming in the succeeding weeks, expect IBC to expand its effort in bringing a different kind of programming to more knowledgeable viewers.
