Real talk: ‘Adulting’ 2.0 na ang TV5 ngayong 2026. 📺

Ditch the filters from either side of South Triangle. Ang kailangan, totoong output. 📈 Lahat ng pasabog sa Trade Event sa Meralco Theatre, dapat i-deliver. No MORE excuses! 💯✨

But which shows are critical? Find out here.
TV5’s “Adulting” (Take Two): The Solo Flight of the Kapatid Network
IN OUR OPENING salvo over two weeks ago, one thing was clear: TV5 is finally standing on its own. Let’s skip the corporate talk and call it what it truly is. For years, the Red Network of Reliance felt less like a media powerhouse and more like a cozy boarding house for the homeless elite. It was the sanctuary where ABS-CBN crawled for refuge after its 2020 franchise renewal rejection, a hollowed-out space where blocktimers, sports, and news filled the gaps of an incomplete identity.

#TimowsTidbit: Anyare na sa lore ng Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre? Medyo sloppy na ba? 🧐

Aminin natin, ang haba na ng itinakbo nitong Kapuso megaserye. Pero habang tumatagal, parang may kung anong nagbabago

Is the Lore of Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre BROKEN? | #TimowsTidbits
The last megaserye of GMA, currently running for 7 months, is suffering a letdown. Sorry for the out-of-context flow, pero I need to answer it fast.

First Timows Tidbit for 2026: "Taon Natin 'To?" 🤔

Elections and their milestone year are done. GMA Network claims it’s their year! But can they sustain the hype without the expected ad revenue? 💸💸💸 How will Kapuso cope? 😅

2026 na, mga Kapatid, Kapuso, Ka-Camella and last but not the least, mga ka-Turf! ✨

TV5 starts fresh, GMA is adjusting.

📉 Pero ang real question: Tuloy na ba ang DTT switchover sa Mega Manila o parang GTA VI na laging move ang goalposts while everyone moves on? 🧐

#OpeningSalvo2026
Timow’s Turf Opening Salvo for 2026
THE FINAL FIREWORKS have faded into a grey smudge in the morning sky as street cleaners fight a losing battle against heaps of confetti, and the midnight countdown’s roar is now just a ringing in our ears. Standing at the brink of 2026, honestly, it feels a bit dizzying. Usually, a New Year is just a fresh page in a dusty notebook.

#Zeitgeist2025: The perfect square year of our lifetime the "unthinkable" became normal. 📺

From the GMA Multiverse, TV5’s VIBE, Bilyonaryo's FAST lane and the expose that puts a radio empire collapsing, it’s been a wild, exhausting ride. 🎢
Timow’s Turf Zeitgeist 2025
WE'RE ON the flickering edge of 2025—the so-called perfect square year of our lifetime. Sounds poetic, but it doesn’t feel that way. If your brain feels fried, fragmented, or just plain tired, you’re not alone. Before 2026 demands its turn, it’s worth pausing. This isn’t a countdown or a “Best of” list wrapped in a bow. It’s a vibe check.

If Time Magazine has the Person of the Year, who should be the Filipino of the Year? Or maybe the 25 of them.

Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko is turning 50 this Monday but it comes in a shadow of the passing of late Rosa Rosal a couple of weeks ago.
Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko at 50: A Golden Legacy in the Shadow of Rosa Rosal’s Passing
THIS MONDAY (December 1), Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko (KKMK) — the longest-running public service television program in the country — marks its 50th anniversary. It is a milestone no other show of its kind has ever reached, a testament to five decades of compassion, community, and quiet heroism. But this golden celebration comes wrapped in grief. Just two weeks earlier, …

It seems like the radio dial is getting a shake-up! 📻
Earlier this month, one FM program ended silently after the most popular expose (which I take great responsilbility.)
Now, another famous personality stepped down 🎙️, either quietly or with a delayed fanfare. What's going on?! 🤔

The “Energy” disruption: What happened, now that Papa Jackson quit as station manager?
WHEN A STATION known for laughter and love stories suddenly falls silent, it sends chills through the radio dial. That’s exactly what happened at 106.7 Energy FM, once a lively hub of talk, advice, and high-voltage personality. In mid-October, listeners noticed something was wrong—the voices were gone. The jingles still played, but the energy—the essence that made the station feel alive—had vanished into endless music and ads.

Five years has passed, I think this entity needs to be appreciated with their workarounds lately.
[#PHTV72] ABG: The New Media Frontier
In the noisy jungle that is Philippine media, the loudest beasts—those roaring networks with decades of legacy and ego—often steal the spotlight. But if you tune your frequency a little finer, you’ll catch the hum of a quiet disruptor that’s been busy building something of its own: Prage Management Corporation (PMC), better known under its louder, glossier banner—the…

I have to reclaim my control of the blog.

Therefore, I'll move away from Manila radio for a moment to discuss what has happened recently in my neck of the woods.
RBC Media Group: Central Luzon’s Homegrown Media Powerhouse
WHILE EVERYONE'S eyes are on the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship—especially with Alas Pilipinas (as gracious host) fighting tooth and nail for national pride—and amid ongoing frustrations in national and international politics, I was left stumped. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to write about mass media. Since I published my blog post on Magic 89.9 last month—my most viewed article in nearly 12 years—requests have been pouring in nonstop.

[GUIDE] 2026 National Public Holidays & Leave Filing
NOTHING BEATS A JET—oh wait, scratch that. This isn’t a sponsored post. What we do have is something many Filipinos look forward to every year: the official list of holidays. Yesterday, Malacañang issued Proclamation No. 1006, laying out all the national public holidays for 2026. Perfect timing for those who hoard planners, calendars, or those limited-edition coffee chain diaries (yes, the ones you exchange after downing too many holiday frappes).
