Residents in the province of Batangas will now start experiencing a new
way of watching their favorite shows on television with the arrival of the ABS-CBN
TV Plus, the first commercially-released digital terrestrial television service
in the Philippines, which would eventually mark the start of digital TV broadcasts
in the province where they are slated to become fully implemented across the
country by 2023.
With over six million units sold and counting, ABS-CBN TV Plus is the
first in the country to provide clear picture quality and crisp sounds on any
television set as well as exclusive channels that cater to the viewing demands
of every member of the Filipino household. It is also the first to feature an
Emergency Warning Broadcast System (EWBS) that notifies users of severe weather
updates and disaster alerts. The province of Batangas is the 16th area that is
now covered by ABS-CBN's digital TV signals which included Mega Manila, several
parts of Northern and Central Luzon, Metro Cebu, Metro Davao and Cagayan de Oro
among others.
ABS-CBN's digital TV signals were successfully activated in a press
launch that took place inside the Lipa City Youth and Cultural Center on
November 10, 2018. On the other hand, hundreds of young and old spectators were
able to try out booths featuring some of the exclusive channels available on
ABS-CBN TV Plus and kalokalikes of Robin Padilla and the late Rene Requiestas
were there to entertain and mingle with them. The one-day affair culminated
with a special show at night featuring Tawag ng Tanghalan singers, Hashtags (McCoy,
CK, Maru, Rayt) and Kapamilya leading man Richard Gutierrez.
Aside from free-to-air channels ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN S+A, Batangueños
can indulge on a whole day filled with action, fantasy, comedy, drama and fun
with CineMo, the first all-day movie channel on digital free TV. Heck, their
kids can even have fun watching the likes of Spongebob Squarepants, Mr. Bean,
Naruto, Digimon, and more on free TV's only kids channel Yey. There is also
DZMM Teleradyo where they can get more from the latest news happening in the
country and Knowledge Channel if they want their kids to go beyond tutoring.
And if these are not enough, then have a weekend family bonding at home with
Kapamilya Box Office (KBO) featuring local blockbuster hits, fresh from the
cinemas, live sporting events, TV specials and more for just Php30.
The ABS-CBN TV Plus is available in Batangas City, Agoncillo,
Alitagtag, Balayan, Bauan, Calaca, Calatagan, Cuenca, Ibaan, Lemery, Lipa City,
Mabini, Padre Garcia, Rosario, San Jose, San Luis, San Nicolas, San Pascual,
Sta. Teresita, Taal, Taysan, Tuy, and parts of Quezon province for a very
affordable price of Php1,499.00. For more details and updates on ABS-CBN TV
