The said soundstages will provide production facilities and studios for upcoming Kapamilya projects such as the Darna remake starring Liza Soberano, and the teleserye The Faithful Wife.

The project’s pioneer, ABS-CBN Chairman emeritus Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III said, “Completing the sound stages represents a very major step for ABS-CBN in terms of our ability to create much better production. Through this we can show the world the best of the Filipino.”
