What happens

Magandang Tanghali Bayan (MTB) (transl. good noontime, nation) or Masayang Tanghali Bayan (transl.  happy noontime, nation), later known as MTB Ang Saya Saya (transl. MTB, it's so much fun or transl. MTB, a very happy time), was a Philippine noontime variety show broadcast by ABS-CBN. It aired from November 30, 1998, to February 4, 2005, replacing 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila and was later replaced by Wowowee. The program was also broadcast worldwide through The Filipino Channel (TFC). The show was known for its many formats and host changes over the years. Magandang Tanghali Bayan – the original run of MTB – is the fourth longest running noontime show of ABS-CBN after It's Showtime, Eat Bulaga! and Wowowee, staying on air for 4 years, 2 months and 22 days from 1998 to 2003. Other MTB incarnations such as Masayang Tanghali Bayan and MTB Ang Saya Saya stayed on air for around one year each, before Wowowee eventually took over. Including all of its iterations however, MTB was ABS-CBN's longest running daily noontime show until It's Showtime surpassed its run in 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
