Alagang Kapatid (translated in Filipino as A Sibling's Touch, A Sibling's Caress, or A Sibling's Care) is TV5's first ever medical show. The show is hosted by Cheryl Cosim, formerly the host of Salamat Dok on ABS-CBN. The show first aired from September 11, 2010, to August 5, 2012,[1] and then returned to the air on November 8, 2015. The show concluded on October 17, 2020.

History

Alagang Kapatid first aired on TV5 on September 11, 2010. The program helps every kapatid, through mounting medical missions, and offers assistance to the less fortunate and during emergency cases. Cheryl Cosim welcomes her team of public servants whose aim is to provide information in maintaining their health, and enough inspiration for them to move towards a better healthier lifestyle. The show ended on August 5, 2012.

After a three-year hiatus, it returned on the air on November 8, 2015, every Sunday at 2:00 p.m. It also changed their format from a health show to a public service program featuring the projects and plans of the Alagang Kapatid Foundation, the socio-civic arm of TV5. After 10 years and 1 month, the show ended on October 10, 2020, due to TV5's programming revamp under the leadership of TV5/Cignal President and CEO Robert Galang.
