THE FILIPINO CHANNEL KAPAMILYA CIRCLE MEMBER WINS $25,000
San Francisco Viewer Is First Winner of $150,000 New TFC Loyalty Program Sweepstakes

BURLINGAME, CALIF., July 1, 2005 – The Filipino Channel (TFC), the number one Filipino network in the U.S., kicked off its newly launched TFC Kapamilya Circle loyalty program by giving $25,000 to Maria Teresa Bisente of San Francisco in a random drawing.

TFC is giving away a grand total of $150,000 over the next six weeks as part of a Sweepstakes designed to thank viewers and celebrate more than 10 years of consistent and evolving service. Members of the exclusive Kapamilya Circle are automatically registered for a chance to win.

Ms. Bisente is a fan of The Filipino Channel, a TFC Direct subscriber and, most importantly, a member of the exclusive Kapamilya Circle loyalty program. Ms. Bisente was randomly picked from a growing entry pool of Kapamilya Circle members. TFC will hold five more drawings to encourage TFC viewers from across the country to join TFC Kapamilya Circle’s Sweepstakes and redeem their rewards for a variety of ABS-CBN International (ABS-CBNi) products and services.

“TFC sends a heartfelt congratulations to our kababayan and Kapamilya Circle member Maria Bisente,” said Esperanza Cabunoc, Senior Manager of TFC Direct at ABS-CBN International. “All our viewers have to do to win is simply send us a copy of their TFC bill and they’re made a member – it’s that easy. We made joining simple because we wanted to thank every TFC cable and TFC Direct subscriber for their many years of viewership and patronage of the various services offered by ABS-CBN International.”
