TV5, your the Kapatid Network, continues to lead the charge this 2026. Still under the leadership of President and CEO Guido R. Zaballero, the network has officially entered its "full throttle" phase, combining a beefed-up programming slate with an aggressive digital terrestrial television (DTT) rollout across the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
The 2026 Slate: Star-Powered Dramas and Reality Hits
TV5 has kicked off the year by welcoming a powerhouse of talent and fresh content. In partnership with Viva One and other major production houses, the network is diversifying its lineup to include high-stakes dramas and beloved franchise revivals.
Key highlights for the 2026 season include:
A Secret In Prague: A highly anticipated romantic drama starring Enrique Gil and Andrea Brillantes, filmed on location in Europe.
The Good Doctor (PH Remake): Starring Inigo Pascual, this remake of the South Korean medical hit is already generating buzz for its high production value.
PBA Season 50 on RPTV by Sports 5: Celebrating the golden jubilee of the Philippine Basketball Association, TV5 remains the home of the most-watched sports league in the country.
News5 Anniversaries: Flagship programs like Frontline Pilipinas and Ted Failon at DJ Chacha sa True FM celebrate 5 years of providing "higit sa balita, aksyon" (more than news, action).

For viewers in the provinces, the biggest news is the improved signal quality. TV5 is nearing its goal of 100% digital coverage in key cities.
In Tagbilaran City, Bohol, TV5 continues to strengthen its presence via the Mt. Banat-i Hill transmitter site. Digital test broadcasts on UHF Channel 18 (and mirror feeds on Channel 51) are ensuring that households in Central Visayas enjoy high-definition (HD) clarity without the "snowy" reception of the past.
