TV5 Leads Primetime Ratings Boost with Coco Martin’s ‘Sigabo’ Amid Netizen Network Wars

The primetime television landscape is officially on fire! Following the highly anticipated launch of Coco Martin’s newest action-drama series, Sigabo, TV5 has recorded a massive spike in its primetime viewership.

​TV5 Wins Big in Multi-Network Partnership

​According to official data released by AGB Nielsen, the Kapatid network emerged as the biggest winner among all stations airing the multi-network partnership piece. TV5 took a commanding lead over other stations broadcasting the action-drama simultaneously, confirming that viewers are overwhelmingly choosing the network for their nightly dose of high-octane action.

​Netizen Wars: "Toxic" Fans Called Out Online

​Despite the unifying nature of this multi-network partnership, the premiere has triggered some online tension among overzealous network loyalists. Reports have surfaced of certain "die-hard" fans attempting to discourage viewers from tuning in via TV5, actively urging them to switch to alternative streams or rival channels.

​A prime example of this online friction includes comments from netizens explicitly telling viewers to boycott the TV5 stream under the assumption that the network shouldn't benefit from the viewership.

​This behavior quickly drew strong criticism from digital content creators and online entertainment pages. In a fierce public response, LM Entertainment slammed these "kupal na netizens," telling them to step back and stop controlling people's viewing habits:

​"WAG NYO SILANG PAKIALAMAN PWEDE? HAYAAN NYO MGA TAONG MANOOD KUNG SAAN NILANG CHANNEL o LIVESTREAM GUSTONG MANOOD!!! IISA LANG NAMAN ANG PALABAS NA PINAPANOOD NG MGA TAO..."

​As digital platforms and networks continue to collaborate to bring high-quality entertainment to the public, the overriding message from both industry insiders and the general audience is clear: let viewers support their preferred platforms in peace. With Sigabo setting new standards for primetime ratings, the collaborative model is proving to be a massive success for TV5, regardless of the online noise.
