(MOVIE) Regal & Viva Films Renew Partnership with TV5

MANILA, Philippines – More Filipinos will get to enjoy quality Filipino films and re-experience iconic titles right at their homes as TV5 continues to be the home of the biggest Filipino libraries in the country. Regal Entertainment and Viva Entertainment recently renewed their partnership and once again entrusted TV5 with the rights to broadcast their movies on its various platforms which includes free-to-air TV channels (TV5), cable TV channels (PBO, Cinema One, CineMo and Viva Cinema), Cignal Play, and Kapatid Channel.

“I am a loyalist and will forever be yours,” said Regal Vice President Roselle Monteverde when asked about Regal’s ties with TV5. “They’ve been like a family to us,” added Regal Vice President Roselle Monteverde. Regal Entertainment still only entrusted TV5 with its current film archives, but even its future titles as well.

For Viva Entertainment head Vic Del Rosario, on the other hand, Viva’s ties with TV5 has already spanned more than three decades and remains strong until now. “It started way back in 1981 and from then on we have remained as partners. With TV5, you can watch all the best Filipino movies,” he shared.

From being the home of the biggest movie titles from Regal and Viva, TV5 is now also the home of the country’s biggest historic epic movie to date— HENERAL LUNA & THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST — after it forged a partnership with Artikulo Uno and ICON Productions. “I feel that more people will be able to see ‘Luna’ and the message it carries. What’s a better conduit than TV5,” said Artikulo Uno president Vincent Nebrida.

As its broadcast partner, TV5 has the right to air the box-office film on its various platforms. “We will make sure that we will promote it, we will take care of it, and Filipinos here and abroad can watch it on all channels and platforms of TV5,” said TV5 Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan.

Aside from the acquisition of Regal and Viva libraries and “Heneral Luna" and "The Passion of the Christ" TV5 is also the home of hit titles from Seiko Films; RVQ Productions & Star Cinema of ABS-CBN which carries the movies of Philippines King of Comedy Dolphy; and FPJ Productions, which stars the King of Philippine Cinema Fernando Poe Jr and JaDine tandem loveteam James Reid and Nadine Lustre.

TV5 continues to champion and uphold Filipino films through its various platforms by acquiring the best film libraries and remains to be the most trusted network by film production groups. TV5 also spearheaded the Film Restoration Project, which aims to restore and preserve classic Filipino films for the future generation. To date, it has restored over 100 classic films.
