ABS-CBN's popular morning show "Showtime" is set to be back on air on Tuesday.
In a phone interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Mr. Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, confirmed that the network got hold of a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the Court of Appeals allowing the resumption of "Showtime" on January 19.
"Bukas na po (babalik ang 'Showtime'). May TRO effective for 60 days. The preventive suspension order against the program has been lifted," Osorio said.
