TV 5 COMMITMENT TO PHILIPPINE SPORTS By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sun, 09 Oct 2016  TV 5, the television network owned by the eminent businessman-sportsman Manny Pangilinan, is expanding its commitment to the coverage of Philippine Sports. Following its well-received coverage of the Rio Olympics of 2016 in which Heidilin Diaz won a first silver medal in women?s weightlifting and aspires to go for gold in the 2020 Tokyo Games, TV 5 and the Philippine Olympic Committee headed by president Jose ?Peping?

Similar to the broadcast of the Rio Olympics which was carried by its different platforms, the SEA Games will be telecast on TV 5, Aksyon and Hyper and similar to the Rio Olympics coverage will strive to re-affirm its dominance and commitment to provide Filipino viewers with only the best in sports.

TV 5 said ?for Filipinos, the Rio 2016 Olympics was ?both a quest and a celebration of sports, bravery and identity that shows bravery that comes from pure strength and passion. This spirit will continue to grow strong for the next challenge in the coming 2017 SEA Games and TV 5?s network will remain to be the country?s foremost sports supporter with its commitment to bring thye best and most exciting sports events ?live? to the sports-loving Filipino audience.?
