TV5 Unleashes ‘Third Quarter Storm’ of Strong Programs

June 28, 2014

TV5 is all set to unleash a storm of game-changing programs with its Signal No.5: Umuulan ng Saya third quarter campaign, as no less than TV5 President and CEO Noel Lorenzana spearheaded the official unveiling of the network’s new line-up of Entertainment, News and Sports offerings during a recent trade launch attended by a number of business partners, media agencies, key sponsors and other VIPs.

Hosted by Gelli De Belen, Tintin Bersola-Babao and Edu Manzano, the trade event gave attendees an exclusive and first-hand look of what promises to be even greater things to come from the Kapatid Network this third quarter, what with a fortified programming grid that further reinforces TV5’s commitment in offering viewers a different kind of TV experience.

TV5’s third quarter storm officially makes its mark on July 7 with the launch of an even stronger morning television block, beginning with the back-to-back Season 3 premieres of two of the Kapatid Network’s most engaging programs, Face the People (at 10:30-11:30AM), with seasoned host Edu Manzano now joining and forming a formidable trio of hosts together with Gelli de Belen and Tintin Bersola-Babao; and Let’s Ask Pilipinas (at 11:30-12:00NN), the country’s favorite interactive game show, which welcomes singer-songwriter and natural comedian Ogie Alcasid as its new host.

Taking over the reins of weeknight primetime viewing on TV5, also on July 7, are two new gripping Asianovelas, both known as big hits in Korea—the fantasy-drama Bride of the Century (at 10:30-11:00PM) and the romantic-comedy Cool Guys, Hot Ramen (at 11:00-11:30PM).

TV5 also gives viewers all the reasons they will need to stay in every weekend with the launch of three exciting weekly programs, beginning with the exclusive free-tv airing of It Takes Gutz To Be a Gutierrez (Saturdays at 7:00PM, beginning July 5); the much-awaited return of the country’s original and longest-running talent show of its kind, Talentadong Pinoy; and the premiere of the one-of-a-kind game show that challenges contestants to complete a series of tasks without making any noise at all, ''Quiet Please! Bawal ang Maingay!'', hosted by the multi-hyphenate Richard Gomez.

TV5 is also poised to change the game of sports on TV by taking basketball fans much closer to the action of the heroic Gilas Pilipinas, most especially with the exclusive live free-tv airing of all the Gilas team’s much-anticipated games in the upcoming FIBA World Cup, which is set to run from August 30 to September 14.
