Breaking the pandemic gloom, TV5 kicked off the world's longest Christmas celebration that Filipinos are known for and the official start of the "BER" months with a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony held last September 1, 2021 at the Network's home studio at the TV5 Media Center in Reliance, Mandaluyong City. Bannering the theme "Atin Ang Paskong Ito, Kapatid!", TV5's Christmas campaign marks the Kapatid Network's commitment to create a meaningful Yuletide season for Filipinos and spread joy, hope and inspiration despite the countless challenges we continue to face due to the pandemic.
According to TV5 President and CEO Robert P. Galang, "Atin Ang Paskong Ito, Kapatid!" stays true to the Network's mandate of being of service to the nation and to somewhat ease the burden of the pandemic by invoking in the next four months the spirit of Christmas - a constant beacon of hope for Filipinos even amidst the toughest times. “We believe that despite the hardships that every one of us is going through, we can still own Christmas in our little ways. Kakaiba man ang Paskong ito, atin pa rin ito, Kapatid,” Galang said during the live airing of the ceremony via the network's flagship primetime newscast Frontline Pilipinas. The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is just one of the many surprise gifts that will be unwrapped for Filipino viewers in the coming weeks and months with TV5 and its Kaisa Sa Pagbibigay-Saya Lady's Choice serving Christmas joy and hope across the country throughout the season.
Starting September 18, TV5 will bolster its program lineup with two new shows that are sure to delight the whole family. First is the announcement that the iconic singing variety show Sing Galing will be extended to Saturdays with Sing Galing Sing-lebrity Edition where celebrity contestants get to showcase their hidden singing talent and join the Sing-lebrity Edition "Jukebosses" Rey Valera, Dingdong Avanzado, Ethel Booba and Allan K. for non-stop pa-sing-katan and kanta-tawanan. Viewers will also be treated to a different kind of K-inspired romantic drama in "Di Na Muli" featuring the anticipated pairing of Julia Barretto and Marco Gumabao and emerging Filipino-Italian heartthrob Marco Gallo who made his mark in a long-running reality TV show.
Come October, expect more surprises and exciting prizes as TV5 is slated to launch its "Watch And Win" holiday promo where viewers can guess the missing words in the Christmas carols to be played everyday. With LBC as the Network's logistics partner, Kapatid viewers from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao can win cash prizes weekly and during the Grand Draw. In this season of giving and caring for each other continuing to be tested by the negative effects of the ongoing global health crisis, TV5 spreads happiness by making this season the Network's grandest and merriest Yuletide celebration yet. As the resiliently undying Filipino spirit would claim, "Atin Ang Paskong Ito, Kapatid!"
