We assure our viewers that the changes are only temporary. We will resume our regular programming when conditions improve and the safety and welfare of our people will not be compromised.
We vow to continue bringing hope and inspiration to our viewers through our shows as we remain committed to serving the Filipino people.
Well, I really don't watch TV much for almost 2 decades now. I am not just a fan of spending more time on it. I probably take more time on social media and internet. Maybe it's time for the network (including GMA, TV5 and others) to invest more on their online platforms. Just my two cents. 😏
So is it safe to say that COVID-19 is the only thing that can stop Cardo Dalisay and the FPJ's Ang Probinsyano?
