It's going to be an afternoon of change for ABS-CBN next week.
On Monday, April 18, the superhero drama series 'My Super D' will officially premiere on the Primetime Bida block. That was the good news.
The bad news, there are no free slots for 'My Super D' on the current Primetime Bida lineup. Its intended replacement, 'FPJ's Ang Probinsyano', has not announced a final episode date due to its impressively high ratings, and ABS-CBN has no intention of replacing it at this point.
So where does 'My Super D' end up? Luckily, ABS-CBN freed up one slot for the upcoming series when it announced that 'Game ng Bayan' will air its final episode tomorrow afternoon.
The sudden cancellation of 'Game ng Bayan' came barely a month after it premiered to replace 'Kapamilya Deal or No Deal'. Clearly, ABS-CBN knew what was coming, as 'Game ng Bayan' not only struggled in the ratings, but also became a logistical nightmare for the network.
With 'Game ng Bayan"s cancellation now official, its old timeslot will now be filled by 'We Will Survive', the drama series starring Melai Cantiveros and Pokwang. It will still face GMA's 'Wowowin', but not all areas will receive 'We Will Survive', which is a problem for ABS-CBN's Regional Network Group.
Whether or not ABS-CBN will keep 'We Will Survive' on the Primetime Bida slot or move it to Kapamilya Gold remains to be seen. However, they need to find a way to make the broadcasts of 'We Will Survive' as simultaneous as possible, so as not to sacrifice its decently good ratings.
Going back to 'My Super D', this superhero drama series follows the footsteps of fellow ABS-CBN original creations such as 'Super Inggo', 'My Little Juan' and 'Juan Dela Cruz'. With each of these series becoming successful hits for the network, the pressure is now on 'My Super D' to deliver similar results.
In 'My Super D', Dominic Ochoa will play the titular superhero role as Super D. He will be supported by Marco Masa and Bianca Manalo, who will play the role of son and wife respectively.
Joining them in the series are Atoy Co, Ryan Rems, Myrtle Sarrosa, Jef Gaitan, Louie Domingo, Marina Benipayo, Bong Regala, Jason Francisco, Marvin Agustin, Noni Buencamino and Ronaldo Valdez. It will be directed by Frasco Mortiz and Lino Cayetano.
With these changes now official, the question is, can 'My Super D' fly higher than 'Wowowin'? And can 'Wowowin' be able to stave off this new threat?
We'll find out.
'My Super D' premieres this Monday, and airs weeknights before 'TV Patrol'.
Three Teleseryes Debut on ABS-CBN This Monday

A trio of Kapamilya teleseryes will be launched on the same day.
To kick off its 2015 slate of new programs, ABS-CBN will have its 'Kapamilya Thank You Day' on January 19, and as part of the occasion, three teleseryes will have their pilot episodes aired throughout the day. The new teleseryes are:
Flordeliza
Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin will headline this upcoming teleserye, making it their first project together on the Kapamilya side since 2002. They will be joined by Desiree del Valle and child actresses Ashley Sarmiento and Rhey Bustamante.
'Flordeliza' will focus on two families whose daughters will become the best of friends, only to be torn apart by a heartbreaking revelation. The title itself will be based on the names of the aforementioned lead cast.
The series will also feature Carlo Aquino, Elizabeth Oropesa, Tetchie Agbayani, and Juan Rodrigo in supporting roles.
Oh My G!
Once a supporting cast member of 'Be Careful with My Heart', Janella Salvador will now headline her own teleserye with 'Oh My G!'
The new series will focus on a teenager's struggles following the death of her parents, and is said to be inspired by the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila.
Joining Salvador in the light-hearted series will be fellow 'Be Careful' castmate Marlo Mortel, ex-'Pinoy Big Brother' housemate Manolo Pedrosa, and veteran actors Sunshine Cruz, Dominic Ochoa, John Arcilla, Edgar Allan Guzman, and Janice de Belen.
Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita
'Pinoy Big Brother' housemates Jane Oineza, Loisa Andalo and Joshua Garcia will be front and center on the upcoming series 'Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita'.
The series, which focuses on a daughter's search for her lost father, will be based on the 1986 film of the same name.
Written by famed scriptwriter Ricky Lee, 'Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita' will also feature Vina Morales, Denise Laurel, Christian Vasquez, and Jerome Ponce in supporting roles.
Notwithstanding their dominant performance the previous year, ABS-CBN knows that there are still some improvements to make. The afternoon block Kapamilya Gold, for example, has been left in ruins thanks to the network's decision to air 'Kapamilya Blockbusters' in the midst of rival GMA Afternoon Prime's string of success.
That said, bringing Kapamilya Gold back to relevance will be ABS-CBN's priority for the early part of the year. Two of the three new teleseryes will likely be seen in the afternoon, while one will take the place of the seasonal drama 'Give Love on Christmas', whose finale will be aired this Friday.
For ABS-CBN, a good start to 2015 is all they need to keep the streak of good fortune going. And three teleseryes premiering on the same day is a great start.
