“Black Pen Day” makes ABS-CBN Network and Star Magic sign over 40 new artists.
ABS-CBN NETWORK – More than 40 artists will sign with ABS-CBN through the “Black Pen Day” of Star Magic Black Pen Day this Saturday, June 19.
ABS-CBN has shut down but despite its closure, the lack of franchise didn’t stop them from serving the Filipino through news and entertainment. They have used the advantage of using their online platforms with wide following to reach a huge portion of their audience.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was initially the one vocal about blocking the franchise renewal. And to recall, a BIR executive has cleared the network of their issues regarding tax. Despite the landslide of vote that they should not be renewed, there were some who feared the consequences it may cause.
And despite the shut down, the network might lose a handful of their artist but fresh and rising ones are bound to become a member of their family. This coming Saturday, they will have their “Black Pen Day” which will welcome the future and current idols.
It will begin at 4 P.M. and will be streamed online through the Star Magic Facebook page and YouTube channel, the ABS-CBN Entertainment and TFC Facebook pages, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV. The artists will include new faces, established stars, talents from ABS-CBN’s reality shows and contests, and others.

Others such as the new artists are Kaila Estrada, Arabella Davao, Mary Joy Apostol, Zabel Lamberth, Rans Rifol, Vance Larena, Maureen Wrob, Paolo Gumabao, Luis Vera-Perez, Sela, Migo Manikan, Vitto Neri, and “Marry Me, Marry You” star Jake Ejercito.
Gigi De Lana, Zach Castaneda, Shanaia Gomez, Karina Bautista, Aljon Mendoza, Jayda, and “Hello, Stranger” breakout star JC Alcantara from the RISE Artists Studio will also sign contracts.
Alyssa Muhlach and Kiko Estrada from Arnold Vegafria’s ALV Events International, and Krystle, Lara Maigue, Moira Lacambra, Aikee, Poppert Bernadas, Gian Magdangal, Davey Langit, and Anthony Barion from Ogie Alcasid’s ATEAM (Alcasid Total Entertainment & Artist Management, Inc) will also ink the contract.
