Weekend viewing made “Happy”- er with TV5!

CEBU, Philippines - Weekend television will never be the same as TV5 continues its surge for 2013. Tune in to the Kapatid Network as it features more reasons to stay home with the family on Saturdays and Sundays with Wowowillie, Aksyon Weekend, RESCUE5, Game ‘N Go All Stars, Pinoy Explorer and Talentadong Pinoy Junior.

 Today, Pinoy viewers will be in for a treat as the ever-lovable Willie Revillame returns to noontime with Wowowillie. A seemingly-unending list of celebrities and performers will join Kuya Wil and the gang on their premiere at 11:30AM right after the first part of the Tagalized version of hit Hollywood blockbuster Avatar.

  At 6:30PM, Grace Lee and Raffy Tulfo present the latest news on Aksyon Weekend. The newscast follows NEWS5’s commitment of "Higit sa Balita, Aksyon." Catch up on the program’s refreshing take on current events, as well as pressing national matters, as the Kapatid Network’s firebrand newscast continues on weekends.

 Right after Aksyon Weekend, adventurers and explorers-at-heart can join Pinoy Explorer host Aga Muhlach as he moves to the 7:00PM timeslot tonight.

This week, catch Aga in a special two-part episode featuring charming Camiguin. Aside from sampling its famous special pastel, the bubbly host will try deep sea diving to see the island’s famous giant clams. He will also visit the province’s Sunken Cemetery—an underwater graveyard surrounded by an array of colorful corals.

TV5’s emergency response unit RESCUE5 also strengthens its commitment to public service through a new weekly reality show showing the drama behind saving lives. Hosted by Paolo Bediones, RESCUE5 will also premiere tonight at 10:00PM.

For its pilot episode, RESCUE5 will feature the emergency response team’s heart-stopping encounter when a car porter got stuck on a truck after it rammed a flyover.  Viewers should also stay tuned to find out what happened to a man who was believed to be cursed with cryptic bumps.

On January 27, the Philippines’ favorite Sunday noontime habit takes on a new format with Game ‘N Go All Stars. Celebrity guests will compete against each other in a series of blood-pumping games sure to tickle viewers’ funny bones. Even with the new games and segments, viewers can still look forward to Game ‘N Go favorites like “Pritong Pares” and “Singgaling Go,” as well as the alluring GAGA Dancers.

The wacky Game ‘N Go gang (Joey de Leon, Edu Manzano, Gelli de Belen, Arnell Ignacio, Daniel Matsunaga, and Shalani Soledad-Romulo) opens the new season with celebrity guests like Artista Academy grand winners Sophie Albert and Vin Abrenica, Victor Silayan, Eula Caballero, Nadine Samonte and Ritz Azul.
