Video: Walang Hanggan Stars for OMB's "Bawal Kumopya" Campaign

Philippine Optical Media Board (OMB) recently partnered with ABS-CBN’s The Filipino Channel (TFC) for an awareness campaign on anti-piracy.  

Aligning with OMB Chairman Ronnie Ricketts’ battlecry of “Bawal Kumopya” (literally translated as “Copying is prohibited”), TFC tapped the cast of its top-rating primetime teleserye, “Walang Hanggan”, who willingly gave their time and effort to the production of the “Bawal Kumopya” public service announcement.

Coco Martin, Richard Gomez, Dawn Zulueta, Julia Montes, Paulo Avelino and Joem Bascon all joined hands (and crossed their arms) in a united front for the war against piracy.

The “Bawal Kumopya” PSA was launched at the One Kapamilya Go sa California’s Great America held last September 16. The campaign has aired globally on TFC and will be rolled out in various TFC events around the world.

Check out the OMB-TFC “Bawal Kumopya” public service video featuring the stars of “Walang Hanggan” below:

Walang Hanggan Down to its Last Six Weeks, to End by October

ABS-CBN’s top-rating Primetime Bida drama series Walang Hanggan counts down to its last six weeks.

Aside from reigning in the nationwide TV ratings every night, Walang Hanggan extends its phenomenal success further in different media platforms—becoming top trending topics in social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook; reaching the platinum record status of its official soundtrack’s first and second volumes; and the best-selling licensed “Walang Hanggan Infinity Ring” sold by Karat World. 

Another addition to the unparalleled success of “Walang Hanggan” is its award-winning cast including Coco who was recently recognized as the Prince of Television by the Box Office Entertainment Awards, and Paulo who was awarded by the 2012 Gawad Urian as the Best Actor.

Meanwhile, the plot of “Walang Hanggan” intensifies even more now that Miguel (Nonie Buencamino) has escaped from prison. How will Marco and Emily’s lives change when they find out Doña Margaret’s deepest darkest secret? Can they still prevent Miguel from doing his evil plans? After finding out that her marriage with Nathan is null and void, will Daniel and Katerina finally continue their once broken relationship?

Coco Martin Competing with Paulo Avelino?

Multi-awarded actor Coco Martin clarified that he and his “Walang Hanggan” co-star Paulo Avelino are good friends behind the camera, despite their heated rivalry in the top-rating primetime TV drama series.

“There is no competition between me and Paulo,” Coco said. “Both of us are very happy that we are able to portray our roles well and that TV viewers continue to follow our story.”

In fact, Coco also shared that he and Paulo always help one another in the set of “Walang Hanggan.” He shared, “During tapings, Paulo and I always give advices to each other on how we can execute our scenes better.”

Meanwhile, unlike the good working relationship between Coco and Paulo, tension continues to rise between their characters in “Walang Hanggan,” especially now that Nathan (Paulo) is ready to fulfill his agreement with Katerina (Julia Montes). Will Daniel (Coco) be able to stop Katerina and Nathan’s renewal of vows? What will Nathan do when he finds out that his wife is carrying his child?

ABS-CBN Widens It's Reach In More Than 10 Provinces

ABS-CBN Corporation, the country’s largest and leading multimedia conglomerate, has started expanding its reach nationwide building more than ten new relay stations and enhancing the TV and radio coverage of its existing regional stations.

ABS-CBN Regional Network Group (RNG) head Louis Benedict Bennett said ABS-CBN will soon expand in areas such as Oriental Mindoro, Davao Oriental, Antique, and Negros Occidental while the TV power upgrades and antenna retrofit enhancements in Tacloban, Dagupan, Baguio, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro are underway.

“We are thrilled to announce that ABS-CBN will pioneer the building of new stations in these areas. These new relay stations will also receive locally produced shows, something the rival networks don’t have,” said Bennett.

The local shows produced by ABS-CBN RNG include newscasts, morning programs, game shows, and local public service programs that feature homegrown talents and stories that happen in their region.

For instance, he pointed out that ABS-CBN RNG’s youngest regional station in Palawan already airs locally relevant news and original content through “TV Patrol” and “Mag TV Na.”

To date, the Kapamilya network has the most expansive regional reach in the country with its established stations in Luzon (Appari, Batanes, Tuguegarao, Baguio, Pampanga, Dagupan, Batangas, Laoag, Isabela, Naga, Legazpi, and Palawan) Visayas (Cebu, Bacolod, Tacloban , Roxas, Kalibo, Dumaguete, and Iloilo) and Mindanao (Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Zamboanga, Iligan, Cotabato, Dipolog, Koronadal, and General Santos).

Some of today’s hottest Kapamilya stars, meanwhile, will celebrate the Peñafrancia Festival with Bicolanos at the Plaza Quezon, Naga City this Saturday (September 8) at 4:00 p.m. Stars of the top-rating daytime show “Be Careful With My Heart” Richard Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria, together with “Walang Hanggan” stars Coco Martin and Joem Bascon, and Maja Salvador will add fun to the fest through games and musical performances.

The stars will visit to thank loyal viewers for making the Kapamilya channel the leading TV network nationwide. Data from Kantar Media show that ABS-CBN obtained an average audience share of 43% nationwide on total day viewership, or 12 points higher than rival GMA’s 31%. ABS-CBN’s primetime block (6PM-12MN) also reigned in Total Luzon, hitting an average primetime share of 43% vs GMA’s 32%. In the Visayas, ABS-CBN’s primetime viewership averaged 56% vs GMA’s 25%, while in Mindanao, it registered 62% as compared to GMA’s 18%.
