The series ‘Mommy Guard,’ starring Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal, arrives with a milestone of its own. Before its free-to-air premiere on TV5, it got a Netflix release just yesterday, making it the first original afternoon series from TV5’s Hapon Champion block to be carried by the streaming platform. It is a notable development for a genre traditionally associated with the weekday television habit of Filipino households and Netflix is more often than not choosing primetime local content to offer in their platform in advance.
