TFC Brings ABS-CBN Star Magic 25 Celebration to Canada and U.S. this April

Today, when the words, “ABS-CBN Star Magic”, are heard, an electric feeling of excitement and energy shoots up quickly among multitudes of fans around the world.  And with very good reason. 

What began in 1992 as the ABS-CBN Talent Center – a stable of new stars in training and development for ABS-CBN – has grown to be the leading source of global Filipino pride with the rise of its world-class TV and film actors and actresses, recording artists, concert and stage performers, and commercial talents whose collective body of work has entertained several generations of Filipinos in the past 25 years.

On the occasion of its Silver Anniversary, ABS-CBN Star Magic is poised to deliver its biggest and brightest year ever in its history.  After its star-studded kick-off on the longest running Filipino weekly variety show, “ASAP”,  last February, #StarMagic25 is raring to go around the world – in cooperation with ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) -- to thrill millions of its fans abroad as a way of thanking them for their enthusiastic support for a quarter of a century.
