JOLINA MAGDANGAL and MARVIN AGUSTIN for TV5's MOMMY GUARD

Hearing they'll be together again in a series made people clutch their pearls in excitement. Imagine, Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin in a show entitled "Mommy Guard". While they did super cool in EX EX LOVERS and its eventual successful release in Netflix, this just means there's an audience to satisfy inside Filipino homes. It's part of the reason why Mommy Guard was made.

With the political climate and economic struggle looming over our heads in 2026, they also figured we're all depressed with what's happening in the country. This is why we turn to lighthearted comedies, entertainment, that each family member could learn a thing or two, especially manners, doing the right things which this show plans to impart. 

This series will surely transport you to the 90's (because of the MarJo love team), but of course in a more matured and fun way. Mommy Guard is about Tina played by Mother Jolens, who's a single mother and just wanted a bright future for her kid. It also talks about family, the importance of truth, education, love and life. This is done with the "Marvin and Jolina" magic which means it'll be full of comedy, sweet moments and adventures because they'll be having sitcom like realities that you will enjoy.

This is directed and created by Roman Perez Jr. DGPI who promises to present something intended for audiences of all ages, for years to come (they pray). Cedric Juan might also get you excited because he will try and become part of this magical pairing, you need to see the episodes to see why. We asked legibly about the sheer size of the cast because I couldn't even fit them in one frame during the press conference. Here's more of that on video:

Jolina says "This is very positive and light, we want you to be happy and be with us on our journey in Mommy Guard.Working with Marvin is a good thing because even if the network landscape has changed, we are still here and they're still screaming (pointed to the fans)."

Marvin says "The intention is clear, to have people enjoy it which is why we are confident in this show."

 

The cast also includes Roxanne Guinoo, Dominic Ochoa, Ms. Susan Africa, Cedrick Juan, Pearl Gonzales, Michelle Vito, Inah Evans, Ely Cellan, veteran actors Ruby Ruiz and Soliman Cruz, JV Salvado, Lotlot Bustamante, Geraldine Villamil, Hershey Neri, new stars Amo Wilding and Nathalie Apollo, Patrick Ballesteros, Celyn David, Quinn Carrillo, Migo Manikan, Ian Mark Karangkang, GB Labrador and Tabs Sumulong. There's more as influencers and internet stars will also be there (we saw how fresh and fun this would make the show!).

We watched the first two episodes during the advanced screening, and all I can say is, you need to see it to get that glimpse of Marvin-Jolina magic they've been talking about on the bleachers. It's light, and made us really happy after watching it. You will also discover new artists from TV5's stable, so if you are new gen or millennial, you will still connect with them! 

This will be aired on October 19 on TV5 and their associated channels, Kapamilya Channel and iWant too.

TV5 Cops 2 Nominations at Asian Television Awards

Luck and hard work has come upon TV5 lately. The Manila based TV station just got the nod from the Asian Television Awards with their 2 shows namely "A Secret in Prague" starring Enrique Gil and Andrea Brillantes and entertainment show "VIBE+".

This is the first time they have ever gotten nominations from this international institution, and they're glad about how they managed to showcase world class Filipino talent. "A Secret in Prague" is located in the heart of Europe, particularly Czech Republic where most of the scenes were shot. It's a change of usual venues for series that are being shown in the Philippines and other regions. Meanwhile, VIBE+ has been showcasing not just current music performances, but even the classics, those that have surpassed the test of time, even a full pledge concert at times to honor OPM artists, and their music!

This is just the start for the Kapatid Network, and they're planning to put out more content with their homegrown artists. Stay tuned on TV5!

Vice Ganda Signs Pact with MEDIAQUEST: Now Dubbed As "QUEEN OF ALL NETWORKS"

Wednesdays are just supposed to be just a "regular" middle day of the week, but Vice Ganda and Mediaquest made it even more special as they become partners by signing a creative pact between the giant broadcast arm of the MVP group and Phenomenal Unkabogable Superstar. The event was attended by Slingshot Studios Ranvel Rufino, Ricky Vargas, and Manny Pangilinan who represents Mediaquest Holdings Inc.

For those who don't know, Vice and her team has been behind hit shows and concepts for programs like "It's Showtime!", "Everybody Sing!", "Gandang Gabi Vice" and those that come out of different networks. The MVP group sees her value in these, and they wanted to make sure her reach becomes even greater with their assets, and as Sir Manny Pangilinan says, "ANYTIME is the RIGHT TIME to do it with VICE GANDA". There's a huge opportunity now to have her concepts and ideas become a part for the global audience they cater to.

Vice thanked the MVP Group and asked for support from the public. She felt that she still has so much to contribute even though she has done so much in the previous years.

Vice says "I believe that comfortability is the enemy of achievements. It is the enemy of excellence, the comfortability. I still believe I have something to give, I have something more to unleash!"

Vice also touched on previous conflict and addressed it saying "I am glad that even heartbreaks can heal in time. We had learned things, and create great relationships after a heartbreak. The only fear I have is when I won't feel excited. Hope you support us in this partnership!"

Sir Manny Pangilinan says "I think Vice is a very exceptional person, an exceptional talent and I'm sure we as well are all excited about what content you could bring to TV5. The partnership the combination of capabilities will certainly give a new dimension to not only to TV5 but cuts across the Mediaquest group, the various platforms of PLDT and Smart which I think we need to brief you about so that you can generate more ideas."

 

This is just the start of something big. Congratulations Vice! You are worthy of the title, "Queen of All Networks!"
