It’s been a week ago since we delivered a special coverage for the Star Magical Prom 2026: The Future, that held at the prestigeous Bellevue Manila on June 26, 2026, less than a month before Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 will turn two years old this July, where it gathered a star-studded young Star Magic artists towards into a futuristic prom world designed by Dave Sandoval, which featured several ex-housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11, alongside JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith, who headlined in their Promposal video.

Entertainment updates + Programming changes
CocoJul and Kath for Primetime Bida Pampanga Motorcade, ABS-CBN-TV5 programming updates
As the anticipation is getting higher for Coco Martin’s Sigabo following its premiere over a week ago and made a successful premiere week with over 400,000 concurrent online views on Kapamilya Online Live, and the intensifying return of Kathryn Bernardo in Someone Someday, the whole casts of these shows, including Julia Montes, James Reid, and many others filled the streets of Pampanga during the Primetime Bida Motorcade event, which took place on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
The Primetime Bida Motorcade event was a festive atmosphere as fans of these stars from Sigabo and Someone Someday packed the streets of San Fernando, welcomed them, and delivered unwavering support to every Kapamilya. Coco and Kathryn, the lead stars of each primetime show, expressed their gratitude and shared viewers’ excitement about bringing Coco Martin back to primetime TV with Sigabo and about entertaining them with the upcoming premiere of Someone Someday.
The Pampanga motorcade run echoed with cheers and was overwhelmed with warm love from fans as they enjoyed the fun-filled experience of interacting and taking photos with the stars, along with energetic impromptu song-and-dance numbers from the cast.
Coco Martin’s Sigabo airs on weekdays at 20:00 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant, ALLTV2, A2Z, TV5, and The Filipino Channel (for Kapamilyas subscribed to a Pay TV or an IPTV platform). Someone Someday is also coming to these channels on July 27, 2026, alongside Netflix. The teaser video for the series has been released on the official social media accounts of Dreamscape Entertainment, ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN PR, iWant, Star Magic, and TFC as of July 1, 2026.
Meanwhile, on June 26, 2026, ABS-CBN Studios and Dreamscape Entertainment recently unveiled a special poster and teaser video for the upcoming Kapamilya series headlined by Asia’s Superstar Kathryn Bernardo, titled Someone Someday, and will soon be released not only on ABS-CBN and ALLTV2, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and iWant, but also on TV5.
More viewers will be able to enjoy the said primetime drama, a modern, feel-good, and progressive series with a heart, as it becomes available on multiple platforms, ABS-CBN stated in its press statement regarding the airing of Someone Someday.
The project marks the teleserye comeback of Kathryn, James Reid, and Maja Salvador in an exciting story about a young woman CEO who builds a business to help women find love, ABS-CBN added.
But we’re not yet done with the ABS-CBN’s programming changes for viewers on TV5 following the return of Coco Martin for Sigabo, which premiered with flying colors and peaked more than 400,000 in concurrent online viewers from June 22 to 25, 2026, because ABS-CBN later announced that two of their game shows aired on weekends, Kapamilya Deal or No Deal and Everybody Sing, will also air on the Kapatid network, beginning by next weekend, July 4 and 5, 2026.
As viewing habits continue to evolve, media companies continue to work together to bring more local programs to more audiences. More viewers will be able to enjoy watching Kapamilya Deal or No Deal and Everybody Sing every weekend on more platforms, ABS-CBN stated in another press statement regarding these game shows to air on TV5 by next weekend.
Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, hosted by the Pambansang Host, Luis Manzano, continues to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, together with the first batch of lucky stars, where one of them could have the chance to win a jackpot prize of PHP 1,000,000.00.
Everybody Sing, on the other hand, hosted by the Unkabogable Phenomenal Box Office Superstar Vice Ganda, features a group of the Songbayanan taking part in guessing the correct lyrics and song titles in different challenges. Similar to Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, the Songbayanan may also win the same pot prize of PHP 1,000,000.00 if they answer everything in the jackpot round entirely.
Expanding this programming update, another plot twist has been announced once again by TV5, this time, for two of their primetime shows airing on the TodoMAX Primetime block, A Secret In Prague and My Bespren Emman.
In a recent announcement aired on ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol, it said that two of the Kapatid primetime shows, A Secret In Prague and My Bespren Emman, will begin airing on several ABS-CBN channels, including Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant, ALLTV2, and A2Z, beginning on the same date as the premiere of Someone Someday.
TV5, as stated in a recent press release, announced that more Filipinos will soon have more ways to enjoy these two of the talked-about primetime series on ABS-CBN’s channels, as it gives even more audiences nationwide access to compelling stories, beloved characters, and standout performances, as the Kapatid network delivers a shared commitment of quality entertainment to its viewers.
A Secret In Prague, headlined by Enrique Gil and Andrea Brillantes, captivates audiences with its unique blend of mystery, romance, and suspense against the breathtaking backdrop of Europe. A Secret In Prague is also streaming on Netflix, where it has regularly ranked among the Philippines’ top 10 titles. Similar to ABS-CBN’s Blood vs. Duty and Someone Someday, the Kapatid series also releases early-access episodes 3 days before they air on TV.
For Andrea Brillantes, before she became part of MQuest Ventures, during her Kapamilya days as a Star Magic artist, she appeared in several Kapamilya primetime shows, including Huwag Kang Mangamba (2021), Senior High (2023), High Street (2024), and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo (2023-2026), which also aired on TV5 from 2021 to 2025.
On the other hand, My Bespren Emman, headlined by JM de Guzman (who also appeared in Sigabo and was previously seen in What Lies Beneath) and Shaina Magdayao, resonated with viewers through its heartfelt story of love, family, and unexpected turns, offering a viewing experience that families can easily connect with.
In the past, before TV5 decided to stop airing Kapamilya shows on January 1, 2026, ABS-CBN previously aired some of their primetime shows on the Kapatid network in 2021, alongside A2Z and Kapamilya Channel, which include, in 2025 alone, Incognito, It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, Sins of the Father, Roja, What Lies Beneath, and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, to name a few.
It also aired the earlier seasons of Everybody Sing on the Weekend Trip block of the Kapatid network, alongside Your Face Sounds Familiar, Pinoy Big Brother (Gen 11), The Voice Kids, and many others.
Just one more Unforgettabolabolabol thing for you:
