Background
In January 2014, the idea of creating Piaya Network came through a conversation between father and son when owner Anthony Leo Aguirre proposed to create a network that could promote Bacolod City as a tourist destination. His father saw great potential and supported the idea. They soon added production veterans and young professionals to the team to provide quality excellence in shows and entertainment.
The Network was named “Piaya” (unleavened flatbread filled with muscovado, mango or purple yam) as this was known to hail from Bacolod and continues to be the favorite delicacy in the City of Smiles.
Piaya Network was finally launched in August 2014 at Ayala, Disctrict North Point in Talisay City. It first aired on June 30, 2016 on Sky Cable Channel 35 and continues to cater to the local scene to promote Negros as a grand destination for tourism, food, arts and sports.
