ABS-CBN Corporation is the largest entertainment and media conglomerate in the Philippines. It is one of the core businesses of the Lopez Holdings Corporation which are headed by an influential Filipino family. It was formed by the merger of Alto Broadcasting System (founded as Bolinao Electronics in 1946 by American electronics engineer James Lindenberg and Antonio Quirino) and the Chronicle Broadcasting Network (founded in 1952 by media tycoon Eugenio Lopez, Sr. and his brother, the then-Philippine Vice-President Fernando Lopez). It was incorporated as the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation on February 1, 1967, shorted to simply ABS-CBN Corporation in 2010 to reflect the company's diversification. The common shares of ABS-CBN was first traded in the Philippine Stock Exchange in July 1992 under the ticker symbol ABS and as of August 2015 has a market capitalization of over 50 billion pesos.

ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center

The ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines is the main headquarters of ABS-CBN Corporation and its subsidiaries. It consists of a triangular compound with an area of approximately 44,000 square meters. It was originally built in 1968 and was then the most advanced broadcast facility in Asia until March 1973 when NHK Broadcasting Center in Japan was formally opened. Today it is now the country's largest and most technologically advanced broadcast facility, capable of broadcasting multiple and simultaneous live SD or HD audio-video feeds to any parts of the world and vice versa. The complex contains several buildings, studios, backlots as well as a chapel, a health center, a garden, and the 720 foot Millennium Transmitter. The Pinoy Big Brother studios and backlots are in a nearby lot in front of the complex. The ABS-CBN Studios can be toured through the company's ABS-CBN Studio Tours.

ABS-CBN main building

The ABS-CBN main building was originally built in 1968 and was the main headquarters of the whole ABS-CBN network for decades until 2000 when the ELJ Communications Center was opened. It is directly connected to the ABS-CBN Studios which was also built in 1968. The main entrance to the whole complex is located here. Today, it is mainly occupied by the ABS-CBN Integrated News and Current Affairs division of ABS-CBN and the Manila Radio Division which consist of DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 (AM) and MOR 101.9 (FM) as well as its ABS-CBNnews.com website.

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayo’s makakaahon
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Kikislap ang pag-asa
Kahit kanino man
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko!
