Hi-5 Philippines is the Filipino version of the Australian children's edutainment series of the same title as the first franchise in Asia. Hi-5 Philippines had its first season aired on TV5 from June 15 to August 14, 2015 and second season aired from February 22 to April 29, 2016. The series mostly adapted the original version's Season 11-13.
On May 2, 2016, episodes of the second season aired in reruns and from January 9 to September 1, 2017, the second season reran in shortened format featuring only the first two segments of each episode due to time constrains (when newer shows began to air).
The contract was approved by TV5 and Hi-5 Operations Pte. Ltd.
Introduction
[edit]Launched in Australia in 1999, Hi-5 rapidly grew in popularity over the years. It has won three Logie Awards for Most Outstanding Children's Program, five ARIA Awards for Best Children's Album and five Australian DVD and Video Industry Awards, among other achievements. It was then that Hi-5 started expanding its reach by franchising the show across North America, Europe, Australasia, Latin America, and Asia. However, this is the first time that the Hi-5 franchise assembled an entirely new cast for the localization of the show in Asia. The Filipino version of the musical group is currently one of the only two casts for Hi-5, the other one being the Australian cast.
