SOCO, Failon Ngayon and TV Patrol Weekend boosts Saturday afternoons

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN will gives its viewers a news and information-fortified Saturday as it boosts its late-afternoon block featuring SOCO: Scene of the Crime Operatives, Failon Ngayon and TV Patrol Weekend starting today. 

More Filipinos will be able to watch Gus Abelgas search for justice as SOCO: Scene of the Crime Operatives moves to an earlier timeslot at 4 p.m.

For its first weekend offering, Gus investigates a notorious religious sect founded by Antonio Dumala Faelnar who claims to be God’s messenger and even went as far as putting up a headquarters that he refers to as the paradise where he and his disciples wait for the coming of God.

The sect’s devotees are promised salvation but instead, they are punished, suffer lashing, and even raped by the “Chief” whenever they disobey him.

“Mang Jess,” a native of Mindanao, shares his story with Gus and how he was instantly lured by the Chief’s disciples to join what they call the Global Empire Government Covenant.

Ted Failon will then come in at 4:45 p.m. to address and find solutions to the most pressing issues in the country today in Failon Ngayon.

Today, Ted will look into the Entertainment City Manila proposed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) that is said to be anomalous because the officials backing it have been involved in irregular transactions and gaming investments.

Meanwhile, Pinky Webb and Alvin Elchico will deliver the biggest and latest news stories relevant to the Filipino households in TV Patrol Weekend at 5:30 p.m.
