It’s Showtime on ABS-CBN and Lunch Out Loud (LOL) on TV5 will together have their “Sanib-Pwersa.”

The “sanib-pwersa” of the two noontime programs is scheduled to take place shortly, according to a report on News5’s YouTube account.

Despite the fact that LOL and It’s Showtime used to be competitors, they will now play as a single team. Billy Crawford, a former Kapamilya anchor, and Bobet Vidanes, a director, were once part of the noontime show on ABS-CBN. Presently, they are employed by TV5. They will now work with their former coworkers once more.

The two shows will be combined this July, according to the report, “Mas palalakasin pa ang samahan sa tanghalian.”

Since the beginning of Philippine television, noontime shows have been a feature of the program.
Every TV network in the country has adopted the concept of a variety show at the noon period, despite noon shows coming and going.

Different responses to this announcement were received from online users. 
Some people expressed their disapproval to the combination, while others thought it would be uncomfortable given that Billy and Direk Bobet had already departed It’s Showtime. Here are a few of the remarks made on the well-known entertainment site.

It was previously reported that a 50-50 collaboration agreement between ABS-CBN and TV5 was in the process. When queried about it, Manny V. Pangilinan, the head of TV5, responded that nothing was final.

On the other hand, celebrities from both networks were highlighted in a recently released station ID. Before news of the 50-50 partnership deal surfaced, a number of ABS-CBN shows were already showing on TV.
