SpongeBob SquarePants is the Filipino (Tagalog) dubbed version of SpongeBob SquarePants. It is part of International SpongeBob SquarePants.
History[]
SpongeBob SquarePants first aired in English on Nickelodeon Southeast Asia (before the Philippine feed separated in 2011) on April 7, 2001, and later on the Radio Philippines Network (RPN 9) from 2002 to 2004, and Studio 23 from October 5, 2003 to 2004[2]. SpongeBob SquarePants has been currently in English dub on the Philippine feed of Nickelodeon. After RPN lost its rights of airing Nickelodeon shows, ABC 5 (now known as TV5) launched Nick on ABC/TV5 in 2006, in a block called Nick sa TV5 (English: Nick on TV5). SpongeBob SquarePants episodes were later dubbed for the first time into Filipino/Tagalog on August 11, 2008, three days after ABC 5 was relaunched into TV5, making them the first Nick broadcaster on Philippine free TV to do so. Schedules from 2007 mention SpongeBob already airing on the channel, but it is unknown if these episodes were dubbed or not.[3] The show aired every 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. The network ended its contract with Nickelodeon on June 30, 2010.
SpongeBob SquarePants was also aired on Q Channel 11 (later GMA News TV, now known as GTV) weekday mornings until February 18, 2011. ABS-CBN launched Nick Time (later Nickelodeon on ABS-CBN) on July 26, 2010 at 8:30 AM under their Team Animazing time block. SpongeBob SquarePants was among others shown during Nick Time, thus continuing the Filipino dub that was started by TV5.
However, ABS-CBN's airing of SpongeBob SquarePants was criticized for having a majority of episodes edited and cut short due to lack of airtime, due to the amount of commercials, and time constraints. SpongeBob SquarePants ended on October 8, 2011 and replaced by Go, Diego, Go!, The Penguins of Madagascar, and El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera on October 15, 2011.
After a week, SpongeBob SquarePants went back to air. Studio 23 (now known as ABS-CBN S+A), ABS-CBN's UHF affiliate, launched Nickelodeon on Studio 23 on October 4, 2010. Like its mother station ABS-CBN, programs are dubbed in Filipino. The Nickelodeon on Studio 23 block temporarily ended in October 2011 and returned in January 2012. After 4 years, Nickelodeon on Studio 23 ended airing its block on January 16, 2014 to pave way for the airing of ABS-CBN S+A. Nickelodeon on ABS-CBN S+A was launched on January 20, 2014 and all of its shows are reverted to its original English language rather than Filipino-dubbed.
The Filipino dub aired again on ABS-CBN during Saturdays at 9:15 am, but was changed to 9:00 am on March 29, 2014. The dub also aired on Weekdays at 9am in the current timeslot, under the Team Animazing block from July 9, 2014 to April 13, 2015, replacing Mr. Bean and it was replaced by the seventh season of Naruto Shippuden, with the Saturday airings continuing until November 14, 2015. On October 10, 2015, the timeslot changed again from 9am to 8:30 am. Around its final years on television, the dub broadcasted every Sunday morning at 8:30am, airing one episode in syndication starting December 20, 2015.[4] [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]Since the launch of ABS-CBN's new soft-run channels, the show also aired on its new kids' channel, Yey! with the Filipino dub, airing in order (by season), thus replacing the now defunct airing on ABS-CBN S+A.
However, in May 5, 2020, the National Telecommunications Commission has issued a cease-and-desist order (CDO) on ABS-CBN's broadcast operations and later, In June 30, 2020 (Metro Manila only) and July 1, 2020 (outside Metro Manila; Nationwide), the Yey! channel has ceased to air due to the imposed alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO). This leaves the local Nickelodeon channel becoming the only broadcaster of the show from 2020 to 2024.
On September 30, 2024, TV5 began re-airing the first three seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants on the network's TV5 Kids block, the show was aired every Monday-Friday at 7:30AM.[12]
