courageous narration of what happened in Marawi. Produced by ABS-CBN DocuCentral
and first aired on ABS-CBN last August 13, 2017, "Di Ka Pasisiil"
takes viewers to the first months of the Marawi siege and tackles the changes
caused by the war as well as how the soldiers respond to protect the Islamic
City of Marawi from terrorists.
ABS-CBN also bagged a Silver World Medal award for ABS-CBN News

Bandurria" follows the life and craft of a master guitar-maker in Pampanga,
while "To Love and To Serve" bares ABS-CBN commitment to the Filipino
nation through its products and services as well as a Kapamilya's love in
poetic justice.
