Events

  • February 7- Professional basketball leagues MBA and the PBA hold separate opening ceremonies to usher their respective new seasons. ABS-CBN's musical variety show ASAP broadcast live via ABS-CBN and Studio 23 from the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City and the University of St. La Salle Coliseum in Bacolod City for the MBA, while Vintage Television and GMA Network collaborated for the opening ceremonies of the PBA, which aired live on IBC-13.
  • July 30 – Eat Bulaga! marks its 20th year anniversary.
  • December 31 - Philippine television marks the turning of the century in a big way as it heralds the dawn of the New Millennium.
    • PTV Network hosts the telecasts of the national millennium festivities held in the Rizal Park in Manila led by President Joseph Estrada.
    • GMA Network airs nationwide the national edition of the successful 2000 Today broadcast, with celebrations centering at the Makati Central Business District. At around 11:50pm, Regine Velasquez sang the Philippine Millennium theme song, "Written in the Sand", live at the top of The Peninsula Manila.[1]
    • ABS-CBN hosts its own celebration coverage, focused not just on concerts of its big network talents in three venues: the Expo Pilipino Amphitheater in the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone in Pampanga, and within Metro Manila, the Quezon Memorial Circle (Quezon City), and The Fort in Bonifacio Global City (Taguig), but also on news reports of the celebrations from all over the country and the world as the new year and new century arrives. Within minutes to midnight, the network airs a special identity card marking the change to the new century with the introduction of its current logo, set to Ryan Cayabyab's music which the network would later adopt as the startup and closedown tune till the mid-2000s. The marathon telecast was originally the national edition of Millennium Live, which was cancelled days before due to lack of funding from most of the international TV networks that joined the project, but was finally pushed through as a series of international broadcasts by some of the partner channels.
