The Mae Alviar-Cruz-helmed series will premiere on the streaming mammoth 72 hours before its television debut on A2Z Channel 11 and TV5.
ABS-CBN marked the Netflix debut of one of its biggest projects this year with an adorable showoff. It had its Eugenio Lopez Jr. (ELJ) building lit up in red and with the initials of the highly-anticipated primetime series. Last year, the network also pulled off the same gimmick by flashing the title of the Liza Soberano-led Netflix anime series, Trese, across the building.
Earlier, ABS-CBN Entertainment and the series’s production unit, teased netizens of a surprise.
“2loy-2loy ang surprises dahil something GOOD is about 2 light 2night. Abangan mamaya sa TV Patrol,” it said in a tweet.
That surprise turned out to be the said stunt the network made through lighting up ELJ Building.
