ABS-CBN FOUNDATION TO HOLD TELETHON FOR LONDON GRENFELL FIRE VICTIMS

ABS-CBN Foundation Europe CIO joins public and private support for the victims of the massive fire that hit the 24-storey residential London Grenfell Tower in West London on June 14, by organizing the eight-hour “Operation Sagip Telethon: A Bayanihan For the Victims of the London Grenfell Tower Fire” on June 25 starting at 1 p.m., London time.  

Driven by the Filipino tradition of community spirit or bayanihan, ABS-CBN Europe Foundation is making a call for donations not only in United Kingdom (UK) but from all over Europe, for the residents affected by the fire, via the hotline +44 (0) 2072444520. 

Joining “Operation Sagip Telethon” in this spirit of Filipino community are ABS-CBN Europe and Middle East Bureau Chief Danny Buenafe from the ABS-CBN Europe office at Earl’s Court Road; and hosts ABS-CBN TV and radio personalities top billed by Rose Eclarinal, and Jasmine Romero, plus artists Klarisse de Guzman, Noven Belleza, Jason Dy and DJ Jai Ho from the ABS-CBN headquarters in Quezon City.  ABS-CBN Europe correspondents will also deliver live reports from key points in U.K.

“Operation Sagip Telethon: A Bayanihan For the Victims of the London Grenfell Tower Fire” is making the call for donations up to 9 p.m. London time.  The telethon will be streamed via TFC online (www.TFC.tv) and TFC IPTV (in Europe), with live updates from facebook.com/TFCEurope. 

According to Luis Bariuan, Trustee of ABS-CBN Foundation Europe: “We are widely known for our unique culture and at its core is the quintessential Filipino trait of bayanihan which inspires us to come together as one community with one goal in mind.  We are rekindling that spirit of bayanihan by making a call for donations to support residents affected by the London Grenfell Tower fire”.

However, Bariuan says the community spirit does not stop there.  “In bringing life to bayanihan, we transcend barriers.  As this tragedy faces us, we hope to bring the needed help to both victims and survivors, including their families, with the support we may be able to inspire through the telethon”.

The Philippine Embassy in London expresses gratitude to Filipinos who have so far volunteered at the reception centres and drop-off locations for donations.  The official statement from the Philippine Embassy shares: “We thank the Filipino communities in London and beyond for their generosity with their time and resources and their genuine concern as they volunteered and donated”.

To date, the United Kingdom Metropolitan Police reports death toll is at 79.  Metropolitan Police commander Stuart Cundy says the death toll may still rise.  

As of this writing, The Philippine Embassy in London reports that nine Filipino families have been accounted for.  

Some of these Filipinos include: 

• Elpidio Bonifacio who was in critical condition

• a 7-month old baby girl who suffered suffocation and is now in a stable condition

• Nida Mangoba who escaped the fire together with her husband and their son

• and Clarita Cabides Ghavimi who was saved by a Croatian who also lives in the same tower. 

One Filipina, Ligaya Moore, is presumed to have died in the fire after having remained missing since June 14.

The Philippine Embassy is pursuing search operations in rest centres and drop-off locations for donations, and hospitals to determine the total number of survivors and fatalities.  The diplomatic post has requested for the official list of tenants of the tower from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

While it has yet to ascertain the total number of Filipinos affected, Consul General Senen Mangalile, in an interview with ABS-CBN.com, assures: “As always, the embassy is ready to give assistance to them”.  These include assistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs in providing new passports and other vital documents.

The Grenfell Tower in London is a residential tower built in the 1970’s.   According to a report from Buenafe, the tower is home to many Filipinos because they were recipients of council housing flats extended by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to all low-income migrant families during the ‘70s.

Top-rating Philippine series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano tackle timely issues in its 2nd season

The ABS-CBN hit TV series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” top-billed by King of Philippine Primetime Television Coco Martin continues to tackle timely and relatable stories for Filipinos as it opens its second season, airing in the Philippines via ABS-CBN, and outside the country via TFC in key countries worldwide.

Emotions ran high as the first season ended with Cardo’s (Martin) marrying Alyanna (Yassi Pressman) in a joyous wedding. The happy occasion is followed by Cardo and Joquin’s (Arjo Atayde) final face off, which led to the latter’s death, enabling the former to finally avenge the death of his brother Ador (Martin).

In the last month of the show’s first season which aired in May, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” maintained its lead in the national TV ratings with a 38.2% rating, making it the most-watched program in the Philippines, according to the data from Kantar Media Television Audience Measurement (TAM), a local viewership measurement company.  Outside the Philippines, the series continues to be a hit as it registers high in the number of views on TFC online (www.TFC.tv).

For the last two years that it has been airing, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” has consistently become one of the top-rating shows of ABS-CBN with its all-time high rating share of 46.7% for February 2, 2016, and was on the top of the most-watched regular-airing shows in 2016 with 40% ratings share, according to the data provided by Kantar Media Television Audience Measurement (TAM), a local viewership measurement company.

As it opens its second season, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”, Cardo is seen living an ordinary life with Alyanna, their son Ricky Boy, Lola Flora (Susan Roces), and the rest of their family. He’s been out of the police service for two years already and is content to be working as a jeepney driver, while Alyanna is back to being a reporter.

However, their quiet life is disturbed by the rebels who are attacking the city, one of the news beats that is assigned to Alyanna and which constantly worries Cardo.

New members of the cast are also introduced in the second season of the show, like Lito Lapid, Jhong Hilario,Yam Concepcion, Mercedes Cabral, and Mark Lapid who are part of the rebel group. Members of the national defense are portrayed by Angel Aquino, Sid Lucero, and John Arcilla.

Cardo’s family also meets new people in their community, some of them portrayed by Pokwang, Mitch Valdez, Jeff Tam, and PJ Endrinal.

Still part of the cast are Eddie Garcia, Jaime Fabrigas, Michael De Mesa, Julio Diaz, Jeric Raval, Jason Gainza, John Prats, Long Mejia, Malou Crisologo, Marvin Yap, Mark Solis, John Medina, Lester Yansang, Michael Joy Jornales and the child stars James Sagarino, Rhian Lorraine Pineda, Shantel Ngujo and Awra Briguela.

What will Cardo do now that the rebels continue to threaten the public with Don Emilio (Garcia) waiting for the right time to strike back to avenge the death of his grandson Joaquin? Can Cardo continue to protect his family from harm and live a peaceful life even if he is no longer a policeman?

Catch the other artists who will join the show in the second season of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”, who could either make Cardo’s life easy or miserable. Find out what new challenges and adventures Cardo will face in the second season of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”, which airs outside the Philippines via TFC.
