TV5 and Cignal TV are proud partners of the PBA, which acts as a pioneer in bringing back live local sporting events, and paves the way for other local sports leagues to resume play given the ‘new normal’, delighting generations of their faithful followers. During the start of the league’s 45th season last March, the ‘Tayo Ang Bida’ campaign emphasized fans and those working behind the scenes as the true MVPs, inspiring an in-depth look at the PBA, going beyond the Stellar power from iconic teams, renowned players and coaches, and giving prominence to the team and avid fans that make games more meaningful and enjoyable. The meaning of “Tayo Ang Bida” has evolved since then given the current health pandemic. With the resumption of the PBA, he now also aims to inspire hope, positivity and camaraderie through sport. Driven by the bravery displayed by leaders, regarded as today’s modern heroes, the league pays tribute to the real-life ‘Bida’s’ who have been the main agents of basketball’s resurgence in the pandemic and those who have given a immeasurable contribution to the country. “Just when the PBA was gaining momentum, the world stopped. Yet in the midst of a pandemic, we do our best to be heroic, because we, the PBA community, are not just players, coaches, staff, or fans. We are also families who hold on to each other out of love and friends who continue to support each other, ”said Robert P. Galang, President and CEO of Cignal TV and TV5. “By bringing PBA games back live through our various platforms on Cignal TV and TV5, we help bring the PBA message of inspiration, hope and resilience, and the highest quality basketball entertainment to the country, “he added.
