ABS-CBN's on-demand service has finally added more regional programming from Bicol, Zamboanga, and Cagayan Valley!

As someone of Bicolano heritage, I've been wanting to see programming in Bikol for a very long time. Not only is TV Patrol Bicol available but also Bikol Espesyal and Marhay na Aga, Kapamilya.
For Chavacano, there is also Zambowow which seems to talk about cultural happenings around Zamboanga.
I am very disappointed about Cagayan Valley's TV patrol. It's in Tagalog. I know media in Ibanag is a long shot, but at the very least it should've been in Ilokano. But I suppose they have their reasons.

It also looks like they added TV Patrol from General Santos, which is in Tagalog.
I am hoping that the versions from Bicol, Zamboanga, and Pampanga will be added soon.
