TV5 and ABS-CBN have signed a five-year content agreement that further solidifies their partnership and promises to deliver premier TV entertainment to Filipino audiences.
The deal enables TV5 and ABS-CBN to continue providing top-rated programs during the weekday, weekend and Sunday primetime slots.

This is the first of many projects as part of their commitment to creative collaboration.
