TV5, Its Stars and Shows - What's Ahead?


It was just two years ago when TV5 under a new and aggressive control of businessman Manny Pangilinan made a grand debut on Philippine television. What happened after the launch made a big impact on everyone in the industry - insiders, players and observers. Not to mention, the network rivals who did not see the cash giant coming. For people behind TV5 began talking to stars and their managers to offer deals that were just too hard to resist. Star piracy became a daily buzz word and order of the day. For truly, they walked the talk, and the industry was jolted like never before. TV5 projected an endless cash flow image to whoever it sees fit to engage in their network.

Stars and their managers were all agog, quick to the draw, sending feelers that they were available for a deal of a lifetime. And who wouldn't be blown away by sky-high talent fees, four to seven times bigger, laid beautifully before anyone willing to be tempted.

And so it went. Stars, both popular and has-been knocked at MVP's door, signed up and were stamped a new name - Kapatid, TV5's new catchword. Soon they were given projects, and cameras began rolling. Everyone was happy and excited. Everything was just too good to be true. TV5 produced shows for their new talents. But it ended there.

After two years, came the painful, horrifying truth: TV5 is losing money - by the billions. The reason is a dead give-away: hardly anyone is watching their shows. Rating is single digit. No audience. No advertisers. Their stars remain unpopular, and worse, those whose stars were still shining prior to the transfer have dimmed soon after. What gives?

With the exception of some: Talentadong Pinoy, Who Wants to be a Millionire, Face-to-Face, the rest of TV5 programs leave a lot to be desired. One viewer's collective assumption says it all: "Shows are stupid, mediocre, shallow, lack creativity and are devoid of quality. TV5 is banking on the idea that all Filipinos are stupid and poor."

Suddenly it dawned on everyone that it's not just the stars that guarantee network profitability. Indeed, some serious thought could have been done prior to executing major decisions. They focused on contracting has-beens at mind-boggling talent fees, but forgot to hire competent minds to run and get the shows going. That was the biggest blunder. No production can make a show succeed if it lacks the skills of brilliant and creative writers, talented directors, and all the right minds that will ensure the quality and content of the program. Otherwise, the show is doomed.

Stars have to be packaged with utmost caution and foresight, to know their professional strengths and weaknesses not just give them projects without thought and study. They should be given regular workshops to further hone and fine-tune their skills. Competition is getting harsher by the day, no one is sacred to be spared.

Rival networks like ABS-CBN and GMA invest so much in their talents and creatives. Not only are workshops done on a regular basis - both the shows and the stars - especially those from Kapamilya are aggressively marketed locally and globally. These translate to not a few endorsements and international projects for the deserving ones.

The planned buying/merging with GMA7 sounds not a brilliant idea if done for the wrong reasons. Doing it to limit and restrain the competition may not be good enough as everyone knows how globally well-placed, unstoppable and aggressive ABS-CBN can be.

What TV5 should do instead is to hire the best minds and pay them accordingly. Along with directors, it's about time that writers, these unsung heroes, are given their just dues.

What about the stars' gargantuan talent fees? I should say that anything or any work that is solely motivated by money will not bring in the best desired results. Proof? It's so close to home, no further proof is needed.

That is why their upcoming star search called Artista Academy with yet another mind-boggling twenty million-peso pot for the top prize sounds like another disaster and embarrassment waiting to happen. Nothing, certainly not the lure of that kind of money can bring out the best talent in anyone, unless talent is properly motivated, nurtured and expertly handled.

We really wish the best for TV5. Mr. Pangilinan has definitely shown to one and all how astute and great a businessman he is. May all his tv investments bear good fruits, in terms of acquiring the best talents and people in the industry.

And these people should better be sure that they deserve to be housed in that P6 billion worth of new TV5 corporate headquarters and studios soon to be completed within the year.

    1. very well said FP! I just have some question, when I was in the philippines I used to watch willie revillame on his noon time show in abs, How is it now? I know he transferred to TV5, is it doing good when it comes to rating?

      Delete
    2. Hinay hinay lang naman dapat if they want to beat gma and abs. Success doesnt come overnight.

      Saka namirata nga sila ng artista, yung mga patapon pa at laos na!

      When u pirate peole, dapat yung at the top of their game and not those na palaos na

      Dapat they pirated Piolo, Sarah, Dingdong, Marian yung mga top stars. Buy their contract out. Nagpaka agressive na rin sila sana itinodo na nila.

      Delete
    3. Nope.... That's where you're wrong. Hindi lahat nasisilaw ng pera. Nag offer na sila kay piolo pero di nila to nakuha. And look at john lloyd na halos lahat ng movies nag hit pero di rin lumipat. And look what happened to the careers of Aga, Sharon & Derek.....where are they now?

    5. Question: aside from the 1B ano yung sinasabi ni mega na reason bakit sya lumipat? Di naman nya inaamin na pera di ba? So ano yung reason na sinasabi nya why she made the switch? Kasi super sa tagal nung sharon na show nya sa ere na kahit perya na At comedy bar at pinakamababang ratings ata sa lahat ng shows sa dos eh pinagpatuloy pa din nila dahil sa hiya kay sharon.. Yun pa ba ang di mahal? Yung biggest looser ok naman eh mas mataas pa nga ratings nun kesa sa talk show nya ngayon sa 5.. Ano ba gusto nyang show? Like kay kristeta? Di talaga bagay sa kanya talk show kasi lahat fave nya.. Si tetay honest yun pag ayaw nya kaya gusto ng tao.. Saka ang in ngayon mga teleserye so dapat nag ganun si mega.. Kaysa sya ang bigyan ng bagay na show Na actually wala namang bagay kasi nga di na pleasant sa tv ang laki, dapat sya ang bumabagay sa mga shows na in ngayon.. Dapat she learn to reinvent herself.. At higit sa lahat... DELETE HER TWITTER ACCOUNT NA! hehe

  5. Very well said FP. I think TV5 fails to realize that stars are just a part of the equation that makes a show/channel great. The creative, the crew, and the marketing people work hand in hand to make a phenomenon.

    Nakakapanghinayang lang to think that MVP is "wasting" money on what could've been a promising alternative to ABS and GMA.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Further, ang problema din kasi those artistas MVP are after na sana would help his channel to get a head-on battle with other networks are only seeing him as cash cow. kung meron mang silang ise-share na talent eh pilit. if TV5 would like to be the talk of the town positively including their artistas wherever channel they are, sila na mismong mga artista ang maging creative part behind the cam. i believe that is how the channels yesteryears flourished. mga artista nga noon, pinulot lang kung saan-saan basta mahusay at nakikipagtulungan sa mga istasyon kesehodang kaunti lang ang bayad sa kanila.

      sa ngayon din kasi, because of network wars, ang mga artista (and even the other people na lumalabas) ay mere robots ng kung anong gustong ipakita ng mga nakatataas ay iyon lang ang masusunod. Sa ABS-CBN, oo magagaling sila sa pag-arte, nagpupumilit sa comedy. Sa larangan naman ng pambalitaan, remember abs-cbn ay pinakapinagkakatiwalaan kaya naman ng tumakbo sa politika sila ria hontiveros, teddy boy locsin, loren legarda at noli de castro eh nanalo sila. But, that affected the luster of ABS-CBN news at somehow kahit hindi ipahalata ay nakikitang may corporate politics sa kung anong ibabalita. Sa GMA, ok ang comedy. Sa paghubog ng kahusayan ng artista nila, parang si elisa lang, NASAAN? ang kahusayan. Sa GMA current affairs dept nila wala namang masasabi pero kung makabanat sila ng walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan, parang si Kris Aquino lang kay Manay Lolit before, it cheapens the show.

      Suma tutal, TV 5 must learn with the mistakes of other channels. if he shares what is in his mind minus the money, everything will be fine. Indeed people working for the company needs money for their living but if those people do diisregard or are not being accountable that TV 5 is where they get their living, malamang eh maging has-been na ang channel nila.

  10. I really wish MVP the best. He's putting in a lot of money as an investment and i just hope the people who work for him strive equally hard para maiangat naman yung station. I heard they don't have good reception in several areas so i guess dapat lang i-improve din nila yung 'signal' para naman merong manonood even if it's just out of curiosity. Yes, i agree, their stars should undergo workshops to continually improve themselves or else go into oblivion!

  11. improve the free TV signal! not everyone has cable. mas malinaw pa ang signal ng mga religious stations.

    una, ayaw ng pinoy ang walang loyalty at sakim sa pera. pinalabas nila na namirata sila gamit ang pera. so, kahit anong galing pa ng mga artista, eh nasira na sila sa ganung perception.

    pangalawa, the station should look into the market. itarget nila ang youth and mothers. di ba ginawa yan ng abs. nagsimula sa angtv. yung mga fans nila jolina at claud, sinundan sila sa gimmick. nawala ang kinang nila jolens and clau, pero ang dating batang fans nila, tumanda na with abs, at may mga pamilya na loyal sa abs.

    pangatlo, mamigay sila ng gadgets/pera throughout the day by encouraging viewers to send their smart mobile numbers. tapos, magparaffle at tawagan. dapat nanunuod para manalo. abs and gma had their all-day raffle.

    2. Korek! Yan din ang una kong pakiwari sa kanila eh. Kaya lahat ng lumilipat dun like Shawie, Derek, hindi ako natutuwa kasi ang ganda ng trato sa kanila ng home network nila tapos biglang aalis. Sila Maricel at Dolphy naintindihan ko pa kasi naka-tengga sila eh, pero si Derek halimbawa sobrang busy tapos biglang ganon? Cristy Fermin: irrelevant cow. Ruffa G: irrelevant social climbing cow. Shalala: Fugly cow. Mariel and Ruffa Mae: "Meh" and Willie is irreverent and now irrelevant. Tama sabi ni FP: work motivated solely by money will not produce good results.
      For the raffles, sinubukan na nila yan dun sa wanna-be ASAP show nila noon tuwing Sunday na may 5M pang jackpot money pero walang pumansin.

  15. This article is spot on FP! I was at a TV5 launching event here in Cebu about a year ago (back then the sole problem why Cebuanos haven't gotten into the "TV5 mania" was because of poor signal), and I was talking to one of the staff and asked her "Why don't you hire writers or PR personnel too? How about acting coaches?". She just laughed at me and said that the only people that matter are the celebrities and that the more they bank on them the more chance they'll have of beating the other two networks. Shame.

  17. Very well said FP...

    I had the same thoughts as i was observing some aggressive actions being done by TV5. Yet again, the saying that goes " Viewers are more loyal to the network than to the STARS they idolize" is proven. Sharon Cuneta or AGa muhlach or even Willie Revillame are undoubtedly Industry icons, but sad to say , at the current times, pale in comparison to the likes of Anne Curtis,Angel Locsin, Kim Chiu or Sarah Geronimo in terms of Bankability and mass appeal.

    As gabby Lopez once said, "STARS COME AND GO BUT THE NETWORK REMAINS" . The Star Magic, which was formed twenty years ago , is a clear indication that ABS-CBN already prepared a long time ago new batches of stars to replace those who might transfer to other networks.

  19. I admire MVP's vision but, yeah, planning and executing aren't as bright. But in all fairness to TV5's show, the concept is there but execution is just... mehhh. IF the station's bank is unlimited, which of course is not, they better invest more on their creative department.

    One thing that can also help is having a strong SWOT analysis as their competitors aren't as perfect as the fanatics think. From there, they can weave better plans. Having established stars is a smart thing but their names aren't enough to pull in viewers - quality shows will do the trick. Fresh faces, too, can rake in a large audience share IF they can offer more than just their pretty faces - and that goes to all TV stations.

    But on the bright side, it's just two years and grandness doesn't happen over night.

  24. Dito ako sa Sacramento, California and we have TFC since the days of Pangako Sa Yo pa. We never tried to get the GMA bundle because di rin makakanood, ngayon nga available na rin ang TV5 but we still have no inclination to avail it,especially nowadays you can just watch their shows online. We did not even went to San Francisco to watch launching of their network kasi di namin type iyong isa nilang star (host of a game show). I hope TV5 will realize the success of one show is not all about the main cast or their big stars ,it is also about people behind the show. I was watching one of their talk show, the host is one of their biggest star, para yatang walang idea na ang writer, kasi parang halu-halo na lang ang mapag-usapan.

As for the talents, dapat lagi may workshops to further hone their craft.sayang talaga yung perang iniinvest..ayan nalugi tuloy. Hindi ba nag 6 Sixma si mr. pangilinan?

  33. very well said po... sana kasi bago cla mamirata ng big artist eh my project cla naka set hndi ung kukuha nlng cla basta ng artista sikat para masabi nila contract arist nila. sikat nga pero tinatangkilik ba ng tao? hndi nmn eh. matalino ngayon ang mga tao, gsto nila fresh at talented ung nakikita at napapanood nila. hndi ung sikat nga, malaki nga tf nila pero may shows ba, visible ba cla sa tv. hinahanap ba cla ng tao like ung mga lumipat sa knila, hndi nmn db? tska puro cla press release na my shows na gagawin pero until now wla pa din, after ng isang show tapos na like kay aga, laki budget ng show nya pero wat happened.. sayang lng. swerte nlng ni goma now. gumuwapo cya, bumata,. sana bgyan nila ng quality programs ang mga tao at mag invest cla sa mga writers at directors. nagmumukhang cheap mga shows nila. kahit sikat mga artista mo at kung pangpalengke nmn shows mo non sense lng. talagang malulugi lng cla.

  34. Even Nora Aunor didn't make things change. I barely knew that her serye started nor concluded. And just like what krizzy tweeted, their scenes were like taken by phone cameras.

    And what i hate is that one of their most watched shows is Face2Face which shows scripted barbarism. It's even shown in daytime where kids watch.

Mas maliit pa nagastos sana nila kesa magbayad ng super mega "talent" fee sa mga pinirata nila. Kawawa naman tuloy ung ibang mga Tao working na mawawala ung mga programs. Sana Hindi agad super mga talent fee dahil wala pa naming viewership at Hindi pa ganun ka established. Pero sana makabawi at lesson na Ito mga kinunuha kasi nilang mga talent marami pa haters kesa sa talagang tumatangkilik! Sana maging part ako ng TV5. Hahahahahaha!

  37. my same sentiments too. i think those big stars who transferred didn't think of their future..derek has good projects with star cinema, it made him who he is now..famous. he left ABS in exchange of millions, triple his current salary maybe? but where is he now? ok u will see him in commercials, etc..but a good project coming? he wish. i admire john lloyd or even piolo who admitted that he got an offer too..and even sam milby right? and im sure some of the big stars in ABS or GMA..these people made the right choice..its not all about money noh. MVP is exaggerated about his offers. san ka naman nakakita, ang talent fee ng artista na ni pirate nya..say 5million...gagawing billion, kaloka.

    1. In fairness to ABS, they have formal and official training and offers so that their artists can secure their money. For instance, Julia Montes mentioned that 50% of her income goes directly to her savings. She didn't divulge much but I think she was taught to invest on a time deposit para hindi magalaw ung money.

      I know the big stars of TV5 have their own na but they did it by choice. ABS, in a way, aims to educate their artists on how to handle their finances while they are at their peaks.

      I am not saying how benevolent ABS is. Kasi sa initiative nilang ito, kumikita pa din sila but then malaki pa din ang naitutulong sa artista if they are honed holistically.

  40. ABC5 was much more fun to watch than TV5. Mas exciting mga palabas tsaka mas bago sa paningin. Yung ngayon puros nostalgia ginagawa - remake ng Valiente, remake ng Bagets, remake ng kung anu-ano. Tapos laging mismatch naman yung casting. Alex Gonzaga, anak ni Dina B and Gabby C? Bakit nila pinagpipilitan si Ritz Azul na bukod sa hindi na mukhang bata (kaka-18 lang nya) kamukha pa nya si Devon Saron ng PBB Teens. Nostalgia rin ang ginagawa ng Dos but they sure know how to make the whole thing fresh. Nagkaroon sila ng showbiz talkshow na puro negative ang vibes. Pagsamahin mo ba naman si Cristy Fermin, Mo Twister, IC Mendoza and Shalala. Sinong makikipag-cooperate sa inyo in the future kung lahat ng simpleng bagay ng artista blina-blind item nyo. And 20M prize for a talent show? Walang baguhan ang deserving ng ganyang kalaking pera. Bakit hindi sila mag-invest sa satellite or kung ano man para luminaw yung reception? Para akong nanonood ng Pangarap Kong Jackpot lagi. Parang Instagram yung ginamit na camera. ABC5 had some success kahit walang stars. Remember yung show ni JM Rodriguez, Asia Agcaoili, Kada (Mylene Dizon and company) and Maverick and Ariel? They all did well kahit wala silang mga name. Sa kanila rin yung Tondominium and Tropang Trumpo. They ruled the 90s and early 00s because they offered a fresher alternative dun sa 2 giant networks.
    Entertainment isn't MVP's thing. Masyado syang mabait para sa ganitong industriya. Kung gusto nya mag-succeed, kailangan niyang kalimutan lahat ng nalalaman nyang business ethics. Iba sa showbiz. Malupit ang mundo na yan.
    There are a few good things going for the station:
    1. Wala silang utang. Mas liquid sila kesa dun sa dalawa. Sila lang yung nagbabayad ng tapat sa contractors nila.
    2. They control the kuryente. Pretty soon, pati GMA.
    3. Magkakaroon sila ng state-of-the-art studio located in Mandaluyong.

    5. I have to agree with you. But then again I guess MVP's mistake is that he invested into a bad management. I don't think he is totally hands on with TV5 like he is with his other ventures. Of course yung mga "giveaways" ay suggested na lang sa kanya ng kanyang advisers. Unfortunately, the people he left with the responsibility are not that competent enough.

      Tama talaga yung article. Nothing good comes from a rotten core.

  41. MVP shouldn't have dipped his hand in showbiz. It is not his forte. He had succeeded in other ventures like telecommunications, realty, power, etc. But in showbiz, he is bound to fail. Both GMA and ABS has loyal viewers aready. TV5 can not just change the viewing habits of the people. Only Talentadong Pinoy has succeeded kasi it actually pioneered the talent show genre (ginaya lang din ng It's Showtime). Likewise, Face to Face is also quite an original.
    Let's wait for the Amazing Race Philippines of Derek. Baka naman sakaling mag hit.

  45. Tried to watch a few of their shows and couldn't help but observe that their shows are "lifeless", walang spirit, walang soul, 'ika nga. For that Sunday gameshow, parang pilit na pilit magpatawa, magpasaya. I bet you, even the hosts are bored to death with all the silly games they had to endure. I find their shows almost time-warped and at times, an insult to the viewr's intelligence. Lumang gimmick, lumang style, pati set, parang napaglumaan na ng ibang networks.
    Their rival networks not only have the experience but also have that vigor and soul to put up a show in less than 24 hrs if needed. Proof is the temporary replacement of Showtime when they got suspended or a quick replacement for Wowowee nung nagkakagulo.
    For me, another perfect examle was the seamless program ABS did for Mang Dolphy wake at the Dolphy Theatre. Now, that was seamless even if they had to work through the night to get the job done. ABC's program the following day, which probably had their biggest stars in attendance was just so haphazard and yun bang, magawa lang.

    TV5's radio on TV (ala DZMM leaves much to be desired too). I chanced upon this midnight show by Shalala and John Nite this week. Ang sakit sa ulo, ang sakit sa bangs! Yun bang makapagsalita lang. There was portions in the program when they would play requested songs and to my horror, sinasabayan pa ni Shalala ng pagkanta. Akala nya siguro cute. Goodness, it was horrifying!

    2. MVP is not the sole proprietor for all his three companies. Of course, this needs to be decided by the board. And mas malaki ang magiging loss ni MVP if the funds for his companies go into one pool.

      Corporate business is not like distributing money from your wallet into your coin purses. Although there are major setbacks in the services of PLDT and Smart/Sun, there is no way na it is related with TV5's demise. Again, mas lalong malaki ang itatalo ni MVP pag ginawa nya yon. And it may only happen if it is the same board for all his companies, which of course is impossible.

    3. Just to add, if ever that happens, makikita natin na magliliquidate ung mga companies. Mag-oopen ng mergers or ibebenta din like what some Lopezes did before.

  47. Ang ABS CBN has "Templates" and "Troubleshooting Guide" already. Yes they do have their share of low rating shows and unsuccessful projects but they know how to BOUNCE BACK into the game. Risk Taker but knows when and where to gamble. ABS lang yata ang alam kong kayang maging click ang mga tambalan na hindi mo aakalain mg cli click like Julia and Coco, John Lloyd and Angel, Judy Ann and Derek and marami pang naging successful na tandems on screen na hindi mo ineexpect magre-rate. Too late but the billions of Sharon, Willie, Aga can not bring them back. I remember on one article or write up Sharon says its only KC na mahal na mahal ang ABS. KC is right, she will lose everything pag lumipat siya and will just be in Sharon's shadow definitely. Even VIVA is probably saying salamat at hindi ako ng give in ilipat sina Anne, Sarah sa TV5!!!!

  48. Was the planned acquisition made as early as ten years ago even prior to securing ABC5? No advertisers? really? so what are those commercials? its merely two years old. of course it needs to lose money. its an investment. it normally goes up after five years. and the rating was merely less than 2 percent when it took over from ABC5 and now its 15 to 17% after two years. is that not an improvement? it will not be able to get into the status of abs-cbn and gma in a matter of two years. i dont know why FP has been against tv5 lately.

    2. Sa pagkakaalam ko, all the big stars na lumipat mga ayaw ng teleserye.. Kesyo daw kasi di nila deserve yung puyatan na taping.. Di nila type yung itatape today tapos mamaya na din gabi ang airing sa primetime bida.. Yan ang complain ni lorna t. kaya sya tumigil sa abs di nya kinaya yung teleserye nila ni coco, tinapos lang nya dahil pagod daw sya sabay lipat sa tv5 nagteleserye din pero wala namang puyatan daw malaki pa bayad.. Yun ang reason bakit sya lumipat..
      Si mega naman nabasa ko before di nya na daw kaya ang teleserye same as aga pati ata si maricel soriano ganun din sabi kasi ganun daw naexperience nya sa vietnam rose ang puyatan..BUT..... ISANG MALAKING PERO... pwede naman sila magdemand ng gaya ni kris a. At juday na tinatapos muna ang kalahati ng teleserye saka start mag-air? So meaning pwede ayaw lang nila or baka nagpapataas ng lresyo or baka sila ang choosy sa role o baka naman sila ang ayaw bigyan hanggat di sila FIT.. aga and sharon physically fit.. At least si goma gwapo pa din... Kaya may K!

      Kahit ano pang sabihin ni mega na sinisiraan sila ni derek ng abs kaya sila inaayawan ng tao... Di naman kapanipaniwala kasi matatalino na tao.. Kung yun ngang mga may bad reputation like cristine reyes o kahit si marian nagrarate pa naman ang show kesa sa kanila.. Ano pa reason nila why sila flop? As for derek, he has a point na kaya dya lumipat dahila sa amazing race na forte nya talaga at gusto nya, gets ko sya dun.. But after that series na walang kasiguruhan kung masusundan after 1 season, saan na sya pupulutin? Smart kaya ang decision nya? Mukhang short term lang ang tiningnan nya.. Nagkaroon nga sya ng sports oriented show.. Madami naman mawawala sa kanyang endorsements kasi nga di na sya visible.. Sa lahat sa tv 5 sino may pinakamaraming endorsements, commercial sa tv at print? Si mega mcdo na lang, si willie sarili nyang building at mga sponsors lang walang big brand.. Si derek unti unti ng nawawala ang commercials nya.. Si na alex, nagkaroon ba? Dun palang eh malalaman na kung may market ba sila.. Sayang lang pera ni mvp.. Kung sana ginawa na lang nyang lahat ng patok na us tv series finranchise nya tapos palabas dito ng sabay.. Mas papatok pa.. Sad to say di na kaya tibagin ang 2 big network..

  69. I hope FP approves my comment. :)

    I think it is too early to indict, so to speak, MVP as regards TV5's performance. It has only been around for two years. I underscore this fact because of the way ABS and GMA came about. Their establishment were historic moments in Philippine history. TV was not so common back then so they had to struggle as well I am sure. Their history is more pronounced after the Martial Law era.

    TV5 was a repackaged output. Nothing wrong with that. But it came about at a time when "loyalties" are carefully delineated. I am not just talking about talents but US as well, the viewers; the consumers.

    However, I think anyone who thinks that money is the only currency is a fool. We also have loyalty, friendship, passion, artistic vision etc.

    Then again, MVP is a businessman. He knows what he is doing I think. Philex and PLDT seem to be doing well.

    All the stations have good and bad shows. I watch Kapamilya shows mostly and I have some observations:

    1. NEWS. I like ANC, particularly the new afternoon line up. It is fresh and along the lines of CNN and BBC.

    Sadly, the same thing is not true for TV Patrol. Napakatabloid lang. And what is up with Kabayan, Ted and Korina giving out their opinions?! Di ba dapat objective yung pagbabalita? You need to present the best form of the argument by giving all the facts. I want to see the a gentleman's (or woman's) way of broadcasting like Angelo Castro and Tina Palma. Puwede na rin si Coco Alcuaz and Bernadette Sembrano.

    Elitist na kung elitist ang dating but we have to raise the level of newscast in the country by avoiding the tabloid style of reporting. Puwede din naman mag Filipino without sounding like a tabloid.

    Also, what is up with CCTV Patrol? That's a thing now by the way.

    I hate that they have to dumb down the news. We Filipinos should be offended. You do not assume that the ordinary Filipino is not capable of recognizing quality newscast.

    2. TELESERYES. Congratulations that they are doing well. However, ABS should try other formulas. Like, for once, walang love story or hindi yun yung main focus. Why not make it educational? Like shows about politics or whatever. Gets nyo? Show the Filipino the ins and outs of these things because it affects them. Think The West Wing. Di ba, may public service na rin.

    Puwede din alternative plots like Lost ganun? Why not try something new?

    3. LESSEN IMPORTED SHOWS. Period.

    4. BRING BACK COMEDY! Different comedy shows every day of the week Puro na lang iyak, sampalan at sabunutan. We need a good laugh too. I am thinking, before Bandila like that? Three primetime dramas, 30 mins of comedy then Bandila.

    5. ASAP. Uh, can we please let the singers do the singing, the dancers the dancing and the non-dancers and non-singers do anything except sing and dance. Kain nalang sila ng apoy or something. And minimize, if not eliminate, lip synching.

    6. OTHERS. Invest in good people and good facilities. IN TV Patrol and ASAP, parang ang sikip sikip nila tingnan.

    And, pay your people, talents and staff better. Money is still an incentive to do better, realistically speaking.

    So far, yun lang naman. :)

  70. Just look at the billboards around, ABS CBN and GMA stars lang... majority are abs pa rin. Clearly the advertisers know where to bank their money.If I may recall Sharon halos nakasabay na siya ke Kris sa dami ng endorsements before but now paubos na. Juday is now the most important actress of ABS. Kung ako sa GMA, I will bank on Carla Abellana instead of Marian. Me hatak ang mga commercials niya, natural lang walang arte. I love her face, she acts well and kung me workshops pa baka mas gumaling pa. Kaso wala, mahina GMA sa publicity. Instead of concentrating on the young stars who has not proven anything yet. And Rhian Ramos??? wag na pag aksayahan! Aminin na natin, the stigma will always be there. Katrina was not able to fully recover kaya ng Mommy na lang and good for her. You know these formulas are invested long long ago pa. Definitely cannot be done instantly by TV5 maski madami pa Bilyones nila!

  72. Bakit di nyo subukan i-pirate ang mga bright minds ng ABS-CBN? Offer them 10 times of what they get from the Lopezes. And I bet you, sure as hell that TV5 is gonna rebound big time. The problem is: Kung papayag silang mapirata nyo! Bwahahaha! Karma sa inyo yan!
