Moreover, Galang added that they at TV5 share the same goal with ABS-CBN—to serve their viewers to the best of their abilities.
“The airing of ‘ASAP’ and FPJ’s movies on TV5 showcases the desires of TV5 and ABS-CBN to serve our viewers in the best way possible,” he added.
As a result of this partnership several Kapamilya celebrities expressed their excitement on their social media accounts.
