"From a leap of faith to the big league
After the People Power Revolution in 1986, Chino Roces advocated for the network's reinstatement with President Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino. Following Roces' death on September 30, 1988, his son Edgardo Roces took over efforts to revive the network.
Edward Tan and Edgardo Roces secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to increase capitalization. Soon after, they received a permit to operate from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
In 1990, ABC completed construction of its studio complex and transmitter tower in Barangay San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City.
Test broadcasts began later that year (1991), featuring Japanese documentaries.
On February 20, 1992, the network signed a television (TV) content supply agreement with Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), which would operate as a statutory enterprise similar to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
On February 21, 1992, at 5 p.m., the Associated Broadcasting Company took a leap of faith with the relaunching slogan Come Home to ABC-5. It was mothballed for 20 years (from September 23, 1992, to February 20, 1992) since the martial law. It built itself from the ground up and resumed commercial operations under a new leader, chairman, and managing director, Edward U. Tan. At the same time, it launches the network slogan "Come Home to ABC-5", and the relaunching special aired at 7 p.m. on the same day. The network used a more well-known ABC logo with a Pinwheel icon, incorporating the colors red, blue, and green, which make up a pixel shown on the television, and a numerical 5 logo. Terra Daffon, ABC Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs, describes, "In Chinese culture, it stands for luck turning around to good luck, good fortune, success." It also changed its corporate name to the Associated Broadcasting Company, also known as ABC Development Corporation.
ABC 5 was born - a new network with a distinguished heritage. From the leap of faith in 1992, ABC 5 is in the Big League in 1995, as it marks its 3rd anniversary on February 21, 1995, and enters its 4th year (1992-1996).
On February 22, 1992, it began its first-ever regular-schedule programming at 9 a.m. on weekends and 3 p.m. on weekdays.
