The first new show of ABS-CBN was “Oh My G” with Janella Salvador in the morning, followed by “Flordeliza”, “Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita” in the afternoon and “Bridges of Love” on primetime. “Your Face Sounds Familiar” (Season 1, where Melai Cantiveros won, was such a hit that they quickly came up with Season 2, not as successful, with Denise Laurel as winner.) “Yamashita’s Treasure” with Coco Martin. “Nathaniel” with new child actor Marco Masa. The remake of “Pangako Sa’Yo”. “Pasion de Amor”. “On the Wings of Love”. “All of Me”. “Doble Kara”, “Celebrity Playtime”.

A big overhaul is now faced by TV5 after their entertainment department was dissolved and program content is now handled by Viva’s Vic del Rosario as chief strategist. Their first offering for the new year is a search for new singer, “Born to be a Star”, to be hosted by Ogie Alcasid.
