After appearing twice on ASAP this year and joining some Kapamilya award-winnig musicians in MMK 25th anniversary commemorative album called "MMK Life Songs," his possible transfer to Kapamilya station after his TV5 contract expires this month is on the bag, reports said.

When asked during the press conference for his upcoming birthday concert “Ayokong Tumanda” at Music Museum, Ogie said, “The truth is my contract [with TV5] is expiring August 18. Thankful ako sa network ko at hindi nila ako nire-restrict. Let’s face it, wala naman kaming show ngayon. Wala kaming ibang content kung saan ako pwede lumabas so naiintindihan naman nila ‘yon.”

He further said, “I still have to talk to my manager kung saan ba pupunta? Ang focus ko ngayon tapusin muna ang concert tapos saka na lang mag-isip one-by-one, kasi nagpatong-patong. Anything is possible.Pero ang feeling ko sa three years being with TV5 we weren’t able to accomplish what we were supposed to accomplish. So kung iiwan ko lang ‘yun na ganoon there’s big part of me na sige baka kaya pa naman. However, kung hindi na kaya, kung wala na, then it’s time to move on. I don’t want to base my position on anything else but where am I needed most at this point,”

The company reported higher second quarter revenues of PHP 11.2 billion, 20% higher than the revenues generated during the first quarter of this year.

What made Iza Calzado accept the offer of playing mother to 19-year old Julia Barretto?

Iza Calzado plays mom to Julia Barretto's character in The Second Wife

Iza Calzado was reluctant at first when she was offered a role to become mother of teen actress Julia Barretto in ABS-CBN's upcoming primetime series The Second Wife.

Iza (33) admitted that she was surprised when she was offered the role parenting a 19-year old Julia.

“Wala pa nga akong anak," she said.

But what made her consider accepting the role was when fellow younger actresses Jodi Sta Maria and Angelica Panganiban played mothers to Daniel Padilla ang Kathryn Bernardo in Pangako Sa 'Yo. Then she did the calculation of such possibility.

"Honestly, if I got pregnant at 17 or something, I would have had her. She would have been my baby”, she said.

Calzado said to be considered for the role is already a huge honor since it has been her dream to work with actress Bea Alonzo.

“I’m very excited. This is a dream cast for me. This is also my first time to work with Star Creatives so talagang nung ibinalita sa akin, sabi ng manager ko noon, may ipi-pitch daw na project. Nung sinabi pa lang na si Bea 'yung kasama ko, sobrang na-excite na ako,” she said.

According to Calzado, “The Second Wife” is about an unconventional family and how they deal with their complicated lives. She'll play the first wife of Ian Veneracion’s character with Alonzo in the titular role.

ABS-CBN Corporation’s TV and Studio business continues to be unrivaled as recent ratings data from Kantar Media shows the Philippines’ leading media and entertainment company still draws more television viewers than any other media network in the country.

ABS-CBN’s national audience share increased to 47% in June based on the data provided by Kantar Media, making ABS-CBN still the most-watched network on TV while it also pioneered viewing of content online with video-on-demand services on TFC.tv for Kapamilyas living abroad and iWant TV locally. GMA is a distant second with a 32% audience share for the same month.

Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,610 urban and rural homes that represent 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 2,000 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population.

ABS-CBN’s primetime block obtained a 49% average audience share that is 18 percentage points higher than rival GMA’s 31% average audience share during the same time block. The primetime block is the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers effectively.

Still topping the list of most watched primetime programs during the previous month is “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” with an average national TV rating of 42.2%, followed by “The Voice Kids,” with 36.8%, and “Dolce Amore” with 33.7%. The 3-punch combo of the Kapamilya network is joined in the Top 5 most viewed programs in May 2016 by the longest-running drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (33.5%) and “Wansapanataym” (31.1%). Recently concluded show “The Story of Us” finished the month with a 19.8% average rating, good for a top 10 finish of all the primetime offerings of the company.

Aside from that, special coverages from ABS-CBN also performed well in June, according to Kantar Media. The recent Inauguration Day coverage, dubbed “Ang Panunumpa: Pangako ng Pagbabago” earned more viewers than its counterpart with GMA, “Panata sa Pagbabago: A GMA News TV Special,” garnering an 18.8% score compared to the 13.4%. Meanwhile, its recent NBA Finals coverage, “NBA sa ABS-CBN,” recorded a 22.6% rating thanks to basketball fanatics tuning in to the games.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN continues to lead the way in addressing the change in Filipinos’ viewing habit, wherein more and more Filipinos are consuming content online, by boosting the offerings of iWant TV. Primetime favorites such as “Dolce Amore” and “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” as well as afternoon drama shows “Tubig at Langis” and “Doble Kara” are among the shows people can catch up to on the company’s video-on-demand offering.

The high viewership of ABS-CBN content in both television and online indicates that many Filipinos are consuming ABS-CBN content on multiple screens, which is in tune with the company’s goal of making content accessible to every Filipino anytime and anywhere through its new digital platforms, including overseas with the TFC subscribers as well as those on-the-go with ABSCBNmobile.

In other areas, ABS-CBN also proved supreme over GMA. The Kapamilya network established a huge lead in Visayas where they received a 57% rating while the rival network only had a 24%. In Mindanao, ABS-CBN garnered a 57% rating as opposed to GMA’s 26%. For the whole of Luzon, the Kapamilya network still won the battle against their rivals, 41% to 36%.

ABS-CBN Corporation, which began as a broadcasting network, has evolved through the years to become the leading media and entertainment company in the land that is rapidly evolving into an agile digital company. It has gone beyond radio and television to also become the leader in the local music, film, cable TV, and publishing industries and is also the pioneer of digital television in the country. ABS-CBN has also ventured to other businesses including telecommunication services, money remittance, cargo forwarding, TV shopping services, theme park development, among others, showing that it has become more than a broadcasting network through the years.

The company reported a 25% surge in its net income in 2015 to earn P2.55 billion, higher than 2014’s P2 billion.

Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms.
