ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ leading content company, expands its global footprint as the fourth season of its popular series “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” known internationally as “Gangs of Manila,” is now available in Sub Saharan Africa.

The series is currently available in English, Portuguese, and French, widening its accessibility among audiences across the globe.

The expansion marks another international milestone for the action-drama series following its successful multi-year run as the Philippines’ top-rating primetime program from 2023 to 2026 where it enjoyed solid viewership on TV and online.

Topbilled by Coco Martin, “Gangs of Manila” continues to generate strong audience engagement across StarTimes’ PTV channels and digital platforms, including Facebook and TikTok, reflecting growing international interest in Filipino action and drama content.

The story follows Tanggol, a young man navigating life in Quiapo, Manila, as he rises to become a notorious outlaw while uncovering the truth about his identity.

“Gangs of Manila” marked its historic conclusion by bagging major wins at the first Philippine Arts, Film, and Television Awards (PAFTA) where it was awarded as Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor, and Best Breakthrough Performance.

The African rollout forms part of ABS-CBN’s continuing strategy to expand the global footprint of Filipino storytelling through international broadcast, streaming, and digital distribution partnerships.

ABS-CBN recently announced a multi-title streaming deal with Amazon MX Player, one of India’s largest ad-supported video platforms, where several ABS-CBN series are now available for Indian viewers to stream.

It also announced that “2 Good 2 Be True” is the first Philippine drama to air on free-to-air television in the Middle East via Dubai One.

ABS-CBN has also struck a licensing agreement with Rakuten Viki to bring selected titles to over 200 countries and territories across the Americas, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

These developments support ABS-CBN’s continuing transformation into a global storytelling company that creates and distributes Filipino stories and talent for audiences across multiple international platforms.

With over 50,000 hours of content sold to more than 50 countries worldwide, ABS-CBN continues to expand the global reach of Filipino storytelling across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms.
