Wikipedia article
'Ang TV' was a youth-oriented comedy variety show in the Philippines. The show's format was inspired by its predecessor 'Kaluskos Musmos', (a popular Philippine kiddie gag show in the 1970s) and its foreign counterpart 'The Mickey Mouse Club'. Prior to 1992, TV executive Freddie Garcia and ace TV director Johnny Manahan organized the ABS-CBN Talent Center and enlisted a group of kids and pre-teens to create the first ever youth-oriented comedy-variety show in the Philippines. Its phenomenal success in 1993 had ABS-CBN develop provincial versions for 'Ang TV' in Cebu, Bacolod and Davao.
Many of the Philippines' current artists are from 'Ang TV'. Active Filipino artists from 'Ang TV' include Jolina Magdangal, Roselle Nava, Jan Marini, Gio Alvarez, Angelica Panganiban, Claudine Barretto, Rica Peralejo, John Prats, Angelu de Leon, Camille Prats, Shaina Magdayao, Kaye Abad and Patrick Garcia.
