The Revitalization of Philippine Television!

Yeah. Local television is beginning to go back to when they produced quality tv shows which are considered classic until now. I admit I was never a fan of prime time tv specially when the koreanovelas are peaking. But just recently I just saw the new show of channel 2 and I admit, it was really nice and it peaked my curiousity, so I find myself watching a local channel at night (which I have not done since I was in elementary!) I do hope that this would go on and more new quality shows will be shown.

since the first two inputs here mentioned TV5, i will add more with our now favorite network. i feel so glad that the Kapatid network started a lot of new shows, not to mention the AksyonTV Channel they have just opened (Channel 41 in Manila which showcases News and Public Affairs, I guess). Alagang Kapatid (airing on Saturdays and Sundays in the morning) helps the needy in terms of health and other medical issues. I am proud of the show, not only because they helped us with my son's surgery (tonsillectomy at St. Luke's), but I personally feel and experienced how Ms. Cheryl, the staff and crew care for their subjects.

That's really true. It's been quite a good run that these tv networks are not only making tv shows for money but also for good quality. I think since TV 5 had started making really great shows that are competitive, the other two networks (the bigger ones) have started making a revamp on most of their shows. The standards are way better than before. I hope that this will continue so that our local shows can be something we can be proud of in the long run.

And to add , not only GMA and ABS are making good shows. TV5 is fast going up in terms of programs viewed. The government channel is becoming good too. My husband and I are at night would be viewing some of TV5's gag shows and we do have a good laugh from them before we go to sleep.

Okay. I'm not a fan of Philippine telvision in the past (as you might read from my previous posts) but I will admit that these days the networks do have good program concepts and good storylines. That takes a lot from me since I am an advocate of Cable TV for some years now. Even though I don't exactly and directly watch these shows, I hear the episodes when I am trying to work at my computer. The occasional TV gossip at work usually fills me in the story so far of both ABS and GMA programmes. I guess I have congratulate the creative team and the network in producing these quality shows. I know it is this teh ratings war but if you could have a good story unraveling before your eyes, would you complain? The networks goal is to entertain the masses while making money based on ratings. If a ressurected heroine does the trick, it's a win-win situation for both the audience and the network. But i stll love my cable, thank you.
