Talent manager and actor Ogie Diaz expressed his thoughts and opinions on the recent collaboration between ABS-CBN Network and TV5 Network.
On his “Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update” YouTube account, Mama Loi and Ogie talked about the networks’ collaboration.
Ogie shared that the two new shows now airing on TV5 network will soon be joined by more.
“Mukhang ito’y umpisa pa [lamang] yung FPJ movies saka itong ASAP sa TV5. Dahil ilan pang shows na ilalagay dun ng ABS-CBN.
“Siguro isa lang ang balak nito noh. Itong pagmemerge na ito. Meron silang gustong patunayan at patayin. Hindi naman patayin, talunin, talunin na istasyon. Noh? Kaya sila nag sasanib pwersa. Imaginin niyo yung ASAP mapapanuod sa A2Z, tsaka sa TV5.”
ASAP Natin ‘To and FPJ: Da King began airing on the Kapatid network on January 24, 2021.
The announcement was made on January 21, after months of speculation as TV5 executives, including Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman of TV5 Network, Inc., confirmed that there were ongoing conversations with ABS-CBN talents while Percival “Perci” M. Intalan said in August that there were “talks on several levels going on” when it came to ABS-CBN.
Also, Ogie Diaz was among the stars who hinted at the partnership between ABS-CBN and TV5. In his YouTube account, “Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,” he revealed that he heard these kinds of rumors, specifically ASAP Natin ‘To replacing Sunday Noontime Live.
“Totoo ba kasi diba nag final episode na yung SNL, so totoo bang ano, may namumuong pagsasanib ang ABS-CBN at saka ang TV5?
“Well yan din ang aking narinig Loi noh. Pero ilan na ang nag sabe saakin na totoo nga daw na mag sasanib pwersa ang ABS-CBN at ang TV5. So ang nakarating pa sa aking balita ay ang, yung nawala yung SNL, parang ASAP ata yung papalit duon. Yun ang narinig ko.”
Nonetheless, Ogie hopes that this kind of good news will continue as time goes on.
“Oh diba, kaya sana ay tuloy tuloy na ito. Ito’y magandang balita sa mga taga ABS-CBN o sa ABS-CBN mismo.Malungkot na balita para dun sa mga nawalan ng trabaho sa ABS, pumunta ng TV5 para buoin yung SNL tapos nawala din sila. At ang papalit na kasi ay ang ASAP.”
