A2Z teases the return of the Japanese cartoon series Doraemon as Kapamilya using a similar poster used by GMA Network for Bea Alonzo.
The day before the official welcome conference of Bea Alonzo to the Kapuso Network, the latter posted a teaser poster.
The said poster trended as netizens assert that it is the award-winning actress Bea and they were not mistaken.
The shift of Bea has drawn various comments from Kapamilya and Kapuso fans. But, a shady post from the official social media handles of A2Z Channel, the partner of ABS-CBN, created a buzz on July 2.
ABS-CBN via A2Z teased about the comeback of ‘Doraemon’ as a Kapamilya using the layout concept of GMA Network’s teaser for Bea.
“One of ‘D’ biggest cartoons has found a new home.”
ABS-CBN‘s promotion and advertising manager definitely deserve a raise for that witty move.

The poster just hit two birds with one stone — quipped about Bea’s shift and promote the upcoming cartoon series.
A2Z also commented on its own post saying, “Baka nga ambisyoso si Doraemon. Baka nga importante sakanya yung career niya. Pero ang hindi natin alam, hindi niya ginawa to para lang sa sarili. He had to go there for us, for our family’s future.”
Following this witty poster, memes about ‘Doraemon’ and hilarious reactions from netizens arise online.

Doraemon: "There have been a lot of changes the past year and when A2Z's offer came, it came at the right time… I will do my best to give you quality performance because that's what you deserve. I am excited to work with Ka-A2Z stars, writers and directors."#ProuDToBeAKaA2Z

Doraemon aired on GMA Network from 1999 to 2016 but, it stepped into being a Kapamilya in 2019. Its airing was however postponed by the pandemic and the non-renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise.
After the long wait, finally, Doraemon can be seen on A2Z soon!
