QUEZON CITY, Philippines (Jul 2026) — One of the biggest political showdowns in recent Philippine history is about to unfold on television and mobile screens as a major local news network rolls out marathon live broadcasts of the vice president’s upcoming legal battle.
Beginning July 6, 2026, the ABS-CBN News Channel will mount “The Vice President on Trial: The ABS-CBN News Special Coverage” to deliver real-time updates from the proceedings starting at 1:00 p.m. daily.
Marquee anchors Karen Davila, Karmina Constantino, Tony Velasquez, Ron Cruz, and Victoria Tulad will spearhead the broadcasts. Aside from the live feed, the veteran journalists will interview legal analysts, policy makers, and political experts to break down complex procedures for Pinoy viewers. The team will also capture immediate reactions from both the prosecution and defense panels on the ground.
The massive news deployment coincides with the 30th anniversary of the cable channel, which has historically led the broadcast of critical national events.
Pinoy viewers can watch the proceedings unfold live on cable television via SKYcable and Cignal channel 27, as well as through more than 200 local cable operators across the country.
For those who prefer streaming on their smartphones or laptops, the marathon coverage will be accessible for free on the ANC 24/7 YouTube channel and iWantTFC. It will also stream simultaneously on the main ABS-CBN News Facebook page and YouTube channel.
