[[ABS-CBN]] added closed captions in their daily ''[[Chaplet of the Divine Mercy|3 O'Clock Habit]]'' in the afternoon. [[TV5 (Philippine TV network)|TV5]] started implementing closed captions on their live noon and nightly news programs. [[GMA Network|GMA]] once broadcast news programs with closed captions but since stopped. Only select [[Korean drama]] and local or foreign movies, ''{{Lang|tl|Biyahe ni}} Drew'' (English title ''Drew's Travel Adventure'') and ''{{lang|tl|Idol sa Kusina}}'' (English title ''Kitchen Idol'') are broadcast with proper closed captioning.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yugatech.com/news/gma-tv5-now-airing-shows-with-closed-captioning/#SlhAodUTy5JM4oD4.99|title=GMA, TV5 now airing shows with closed captioning

Since 2016 all Filipino-language films, as well as some streaming services, like iWant, have included English subtitles in some showings. The law regarding this was proposed by Gerald Anthony Gullas Jr., a lawmaker from Cebu City, who had implemented the regulations on standardizing both official languages of the Philippines, as the people had not mastered English vocabulary.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/40688-lawmaker-wants-english-subtitles-ph-tv-movies|title=Lawmaker wants English subtitles for PH TV, movies|date=October 6, 2013|publisher=[[Rappler]]|access-date=September 6, 2019}}</ref>
