The Media Center features a dynamic facade representing the network’s futuristic directions as well as a noble tribute to the achievements of ‘Broadcast Through the Ages.’ Thus, the very early start of broadcast telephony is represented by some sentences of Morse Code in rhythmic bas relief marching across the front elevation of the Media Center.
Top Mandaluyong City government officials joined TV5 President & CEO Ray Espinosa, COO Roberto Barreiro and Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) at the ceremony. “TV5’s presence in Mandaluyong’s Central Business District is a great boost to our city’s development as a global business hub," said Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos. "We look forward to the completion of the TV5 Media Center so that we will finally have a major broadcast network in the heart of our city.” MVP revealed that the Media Center is the single largest investment of MediaQuest, the holdings company of TV5 and a PLDT subsidiary, amounting to billions of pesos. The network currently operates from five locations: Novaliches, Quezon City; Broadway, New Manila; Skydome, SM North EDSA; Marajo Tower, Bonifacio Global City; and at the PLDT Locsin building in Makati City. The Novaliches and Broadway offices and studios will eventually be retained.
