MANILA — Despite the government shutdown of its broadcast operations, ABS-CBN on Thursday carried on its mission of being in the service of Filipinos, with the return of its flagship newscast "TV Patrol."
For Filipinos who have long relied on "TV Patrol" for information, Thursday night meant trading their television viewing for streaming through their smartphones, tablets, or computers. On Facebook, the newscast's stream reached 7.5 million views just within hours. Its concurrent viewers, or the number of people watching at the same time, peaked at around 218,000.
