The most colorful season radiates with excitement and holiday cheer as TV5 officially declares the most festive ‘Paskong Kapatid’ with its symbolic Red Ball Lighting ceremony, held at the TV5 Media Center in Mandaluyong last  Oct. 6.

The lighting of this iconic Big Red Ball heralds the start of the holiday celebrations of the Kapatid network, and signifies its big commitment to provide all viewers with better content and service. Hence, TV5 will make Christmas... Christ-MAS: “MAS malawak na reach,” “MAS malinaw na panonood,” “MAS maraming artista,” “MAS dekalidad na palabas at programa,” “MAS damang alaga at mga sorpresa para sa mga Kapatid,” making it so that MAS dama ang Pasko ngayong 2023.

This idea of a better Christmas is encapsulated in TV5's 2023 Christmas campaign, “Feel na Feel ang Paskong Kapatid,” which begins with this meaningful red ball lighting. In this campaign, a more immersed and involved Kapatid is envisioned, capturing all the best feelings of Christmas.

“It has always been our priority to ensure our viewers’ enjoyment as we continuously improve our programming to provide them with the best TV viewing experience possible,” shared TV5 President and CEO Guido R. Zaballero. “We continue to innovate and get better, kaya mas masaya ang panonood sa TV5. This Christmas season, we celebrate, feel, and savor all the best we can bring to every Filipino home.”

This Yuletide season, get ready for a next-level holiday experience, starting with an invitation to the public to witness and have their photos taken with family and friends at the iconic Red Ball in Mandaluyong and gear up as TV5 unveils more surprises and bring more treats, prizes, and all the feels for our Kapatids.
