After ABS-CBN signed on in May following its denial of franchise from the Congress, a number of famous personalities in the network have started getting absorbed by Manny Pangilinan’s TV5.
This, according to ABS-CBN’s report, is due to the success of Brightlight Productions—owned by former congressman Albee Benitez—in securing block time slots with TV5.
According to the network, this newest undertaking aims to reawaken the “Filipino TV viewing
that may have waned in the past few months of crisis.”
These are some of the Kapamilya stars who will now have or appear on shows in TV5 network
