(2nd UPDATE) ABS-CBN News’ funny man Marc Logan tells Rappler why he opted to move to tycoon Manny Pangilinan’s TV5. His show starts on April 6.
MANILA, Philippines – ABS-CBN has lost another one of its news icons after its funny man Marc Logan signed, on March 8, a contract with TV5 executives that made him officially part of tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan’s Kapatid channel.
After being a Kapamilya for 28 years, Logan, 58, took an optional early retirement from the company in January 2023 but went on to become a talent on TV Patrol until last week of February this year.
After retiring over a year ago, he went full-time on producing a travel show, Tribu Katuga (Kain Tulog Gala). Its videos were uploaded on social media, primarily on Logan’s YouTube and Facebook accounts.
It’s a big loss for ABS-CBN. Logan’s Mga Kuwento ni Marc Logan, which often took up fun viral topics, was a popular segment on the Kapamilya’s flagship news show, TV Patrol. It often aired at the end of the news program so that viewers would stay tuned to TV Patrol until 8 pm.
