A new series of Kapag nasa Katwiran, Ipaglaban Mo! (transl. If it is Right ... Fight for it!) was broadcast by GMA News TV (now GTV), premiering on November 10, 2012. It was hosted by Jose C. Sison and Jopet Sison.[2] On June 16, 2013, the show returned for a 3rd season.[3]
2014–2020: ABS-CBN/2020–present: Kapamilya Channel/A2Z
Fifteen years after the show ended on ABS-CBN, the legal drama returned on June 7, 2014, as part of the Yes Weekend! block, airing every Saturday at 3:30 pm, after It's Showtime and before S.O.C.O. while the replay is every Wednesday at 2:00 pm, and every Thursday at 1:00 am, on DZMM TeleRadyo and every Sunday at 3:00 pm, on Jeepney TV. The show is still hosted by Atty. Jose Sison together with his son Jopet Sison. It is simply called Ipaglaban Mo!
On March 21, 2020, the show temporarily ceased production of the new episodes due to the 2020 Luzon enhanced community quarantine, hence halting the schedule of airing the new episodes. Re-runs of previous episodes were re-aired for the time being.
Following the temporary closure of ABS-CBN due to the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on account of its franchise expiration, on June 14, 2020, the show returned on the newly established Kapamilya Channel with new episodes but later on, it reverted to past episodes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines and the Philippine Congress that junked the new ABS-CBN legislative franchise to operate. It aired its last episode on July 5, 2020, and has since aired random past episodes every Sunday at 4:00 pm and simulcasts with A2Z and on July 4, 2021, on free TV.
Starting on November 5, 2023, the show will continue to air on Kapamilya Channel while A2Z airs the premiere of 2023–24 PBA season.
