The Philippine television landscape has never been more intense.
In what is shaping up to be a 3 vs 1 showdown, the collaborative force of TV5, MQuest Ventures, Viva Entertainment, and ABS-CBN is aggressively challenging the long-standing dominance of GMA Network in the primetime block. It’s not just a competition of shows—it’s a battle of innovation, audience loyalty, and content diversity.
TV5’s Super Alliance: Strength in Synergy
TV5’s current primetime programming is the result of strategic partnerships:
MQuest Ventures (a MediaQuest arm) provides management and innovation.
Viva Entertainment delivers fresh, star-driven teleseryes like Ang Mutya ng Section E.
ABS-CBN Studios supplies top-tier drama like FPJ’s Batang Quiapo and Incognito.
TV5 News spearheads credible news programming with Una Sa Lahat and Frontline Pilipinas.
This alliance powers Primetime Primera and TodoMax Primetime Singko, giving viewers an unbroken lineup of engaging, high-production value shows from 5:30 PM to 10:15 PM.
What TV5 Offers in the Battle:
Breaking News Lead-In:
Una Sa Lahat and Frontline Pilipinas offer earlier and deeper news coverage than GMA’s 24 Oras.
Youth & Action Fusion:
The MavenPro-produced Ang Mutya ng Section E and Totoy Bato cater to Gen Z and action lovers alike, filling the void left by traditional family dramas.
Heavyweight Dramas:
ABS-CBN brings in powerhouse titles like Batang Quiapo, Saving Grace, and Incognito, still holding massive fan bases nationwide.
K-Drama Premium Feel:
Happiness rounds off the night with globally trending K-content, ensuring TV5 appeals to diverse demographics.
GMA Network: The Lone Giant
GMA Network remains a formidable force, holding strong with:
24 Oras (News),
Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila (Action-drama),
Slay (Teleseryes)
Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre (Coming Soon)
PBB Celebrity Collab Edition (with ABS-CBN)
The Missing Husband, and other top-rated dramas.
With a long-standing track record in producing high-rating shows and loyal audiences, GMA continues to dominate ratings. However, the alliance-led TV5 is steadily gaining traction, particularly among urban and younger audiences.

Why This Matters
This 3-vs-1 primetime war marks a pivotal moment in Philippine TV history. It’s no longer a duel—it’s a battleground of alliances vs legacy, innovation vs tradition, and platform synergy vs in-house dominance.
For viewers, it’s a win-win. The competition fuels better content, diverse genres, and more compelling storytelling.
The question is: Will the alliance be enough to topple the long-reigning GMA primetime crown?
Stay tuned.
