Vice Ganda is strong proof that the network war no longer exists
Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda earned a new moniker, “Queen of All Networks,” after signing a partnership with MediaQuest Holdings, the parent company of TV5, the Kapatid Network.
A few days ago, Vice renewed his contract with his home network, ABS-CBN. The comedian-host has been a Kapamilya for many years already, and has done several shows and movie projects under his home network.
In recent years, network work reached a blurry line. Kapamilya and Kapuso stars are collaborating, and several appearance where made on the Kapatid network.
Collaborations were also made; Vice Ganda’s noontime show It’s Showtime is now being aired on GMA and GTV.
It seems the comedian-host’s reach in the Philippine entertainment landscape is expanding even further, and this was because of his recent partnership with MediaQuest Holdings for new television and entertainment projects.
During the contract signing held on Wednesday, August 12, based on the article in Balita, Vice was joined by TV5 Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan and MediaQuest Holdings President and CEO Victorico “Ricky” P. Vargas.
TV5 hinted at new projects and possibilities awaiting Vice at the “Kapatid Network.” At the same time, Vice maintains his long-standing ties as a “Kapamilya” with ABS-CBN, having recently renewed his contract with the network.
He mentioned that even though he remains a Kapamilya, he has a project lined up with the Kapuso Network.
In July, the collaboration between Vice and veteran comedian-host Vic Sotto for the movie “The Greatest Showdown” was also announced. This project is a collaboration between Star Cinema (ABS-CBN’s film company), The IdeaFirst Company, M-Zet Productions, and APT Entertainment.
Beyond ABS-CBN and GMA, Vice’s programs also have a presence on other television platforms. His show Everybody Sing, for instance, aired on ALLTV, A2Z, and the Kapamilya Channel, in addition to ABS-CBN’s online platforms.
