The Filipinos’ favorite holiday is upon us, Kapamilya, and I’d like to be among the first to wish you a meaningful and joyous Christmas this 2024!

As we approach the end of the year, it is time to look back with gratitude for the milestones we have achieved together as Kapamilya.

Thanks to each one of you for the hard work, creativity, passion and dedication. Our programs and talents have continued to make a positive impact, touching audiences and earning recognitions here and abroad.

This year, the theme of ABS-CBN’s Christmas ID is “Our Stories Shine this Christmas,” which reminds us of our mission to serve our audiences by bringing hope and unity through stories that inspire, move and uplift.

We’ve reached new and historic milestones on our digital platforms, television, films and concerts that demonstrate our storytelling and champion Filipino talent. Our flagship YouTube channel, ABS-CBN Entertainment, celebrated 50 million subscribers, maintaining it as the most subscribed YouTube channel in the media and entertainment category in Southeast Asia. “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” and our other programs are the most watched shows on TV and online. “PBB Gen 11’s” finale broke records with 2.26 million concurrent viewers. The “Grand BINIverse” concert was a tremendous success. And “Hello, Love, Again,” a coproduction with GMA Pictures, has been breaking records locally and at the US box office.

In times of challenges, such as the recent string of super typhoons that devastated the country, we were able to extend help to families affected by the disasters through ABS-CBN Foundation Inc.’s “Tulong-Tulong Hanggang Dulo” and the generosity of our donors. On behalf of the ABS-CBN family, maraming-maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagpaabot ng tulong.

As we celebrate the Christmas season, may we continue to be reminded of our mission to spread joy and hope to every home. ABS-CBN will continue to tell stories of love, heroism and hope.

On behalf of ABS-CBN, Maligayang Pasko po sa inyong lahat at Manigong Bagong Taon.

Maraming salamat, Kapamilya!
