ABS-CBN Corporation

We were lucky to secure attendance to It's Showtime's return after its enforced hiatus. Didn't realize that there were so many steps to follow, all to ensure a good time. First was screening for COVID. Then, there were seating assignments and practicing the simple choreography for its opening jingle and other numbers. Safety briefings on precautions for emergencies were given and also how to approach the celebrities tactfully. The show ended with us being given light snacks. All of these were FREE!!!

A few reminders. Bring a jacket because it's super cold inside the studio (but hot outside) and you have to be there at least 2 hours before the start of the show.

Was able to get inside to watch Showtime. Had fun while watching the show. We also roamed around ABS-CBN and it's nice to see the locations thst you only see on TV. Nice experience!

Walked from Diliman to ABS-CBN and paid our respect to the late environmentalist, philanthropist, Ms Regina Paz Lopez

Very NOSTALGIC Station! But the franchise is expired due to NTC cease and desist orders.

The ABS-CBN compound has food stalls and even has a food court with great selection of delicious foods. Bank establishments are also inside the vicinity. There are Automated Teller Machine (ATMs) in case you fall short of budget when eating or shopping with ABS-CBN merchandise. There are stalls that offer different coffee flavors. Don't miss the B Good Store, the stall of Binibining Bernadette Sembrano which offers great coffee selections. I personally love her butterscotch coffee, really tasty and the aroma is so great. You can find her stall in the food court area of ABS-CBN ELJ building. There is a stall for pasta, bread, fresh salads, donuts, lutong bahay of various selection, sisig, and fresh fruit shakes. The area is very spacious with clean tables and chairs provided. There are also high chairs available. Ministop and Family Mart are also there for quick buys of goods. A large smoking area well separated to avoid inconvenience with the non-smokers. Whether you are a solid fan or not, you can also check ABS-CBN Store for their merchandise. Items includes from shirts to jackets, pillows, key chains, I.D. laces, coffee mugs, beauty products and audio materials with latest albums of various singers of the network. Just roam around the vicinity and if you are lucky, you might see an artist or two and even take a selfie with them. Just make sure that you are not creating any disturbance with the other people around as security personnel may approach you and send you away. Just behave ok. Famous Starbucks Coffee shop is also inside the compound. You can take a rest and sip your favorite SB coffee while waiting for your lucky artist to show up. Outside the walls and along the streets of ABS-CBN, you can also find various food stalls. In front of ELJ building along Mother Ignacia Street, there are newly opened stalls like Turks advertised by Piolo Pascual and Happy Cup which owned by Toni Gonzaga and Alex Gonzaga. Pay a visit and buy some cold drinks here and if you are lucky, Toni and Alex will serve you happily and of course don't forget that selfie. Korean restaurants are also around ABS-CBN. A badminton court where Piolo Pascual and other kapamilya celebrities play is also beside Turks. Pinoy Big Brother's house can be found along Eugenio Lopez street. Just tour yourself around and enjoy the area.

So nice so good, wonderful experience with a star of showtime program, friendly welcomed, even I didn't understand the conversation because I'm not tagalog speaking, but I enjoy the show, salute to the director.

Enjoyed their studio tours

LOVE THE SHOWTIME FAM

My wife and 3 other members of the family went to "Showtime" and took the behind-the-scenes tour of the facility!!!...We saw stages that were in use for other ABS-CBN productions!!!!....Enjoyed the tour and the live show!!!...I was happy to see the cast up close and personal!!!....Vice is hilarious!!!...

Exciting place. Ground floor is open to public where you can snack or eat in their food court (loop). They got their own burger shop called Heroes Burger... burger is organic and taste good. Yum!

It's a piece of history. The place was originally built in 1968 as the country's most advanced TV station... and 2nd in Asia (Japan being the 1st during those times). The structure is old, but well-maintained.

Was here on the day where ABS CBN was denied of franchise to broadcast. People in tears and sadness surrounding the area.

The place is quiet, I guess there might be even less than half, if not all the employees who have been sidelined has left caused by the ceased operations recently, there's still activity though, just really low..

The best experience @ the ABS CBN

Amazing Live show!

every studio audience are required to undergo antigen test. IT'S FREE, it's on the house. they're doing it everyday, yamaaaarnnn 💪

This place is not only a building but this is a symbol of press freedom in the Philippines. This broadcasting media company is the most admired media company in Asia once during 90s and 20s. It means, Filipino people trusted ABS CBN as a source of entertainment and information anywhere in the world. But I hope, their operation will resume as soon as possible since the government killed their franchise to operate.

I've been to ABS-CBN a lot of times..the place is very much accessible from any direction. It is very well secured. It is wheel chair friendly. All areas inside the compound is neat and the comfort rooms tidy. All the staff are very courteous and accommodating. Inside, there are stores wherein souvenirs of popular actors/actresses can be bought at a low price. There is even a bank inside the ELJ Bldg. (BDO.

Movies they create is really great!! Esp. The Hello Love Goodbye. We watched it 5x. Their humanitarian activities are also superb.

We had a fantabulous #KapamilyaExperience :-) We had a great tour. Our call time started from 8:30-9:30. The Kapamilya Tour Guide let us enter at 8am. The tour started from 9:30am to 11am. In time for the Showtime to begin. :-)

Everything was properly organized and handled well by the ABS-CBN tour guides.
