Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (BBC-2) is a defunct Philippine network that operated television station DWWX-TV Channel 2 from 1973 to 1986. Its studios were located at the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center (which was renamed during Martial Law as KBS Broadcast Plaza) on Sgt. Esguerra (formerly Bohol) Avenue, Quezon City from 1973 to 1976, then at Broadcast City in Old Balara, Quezon City from 1976-1986.
The network was well-remembered for its trademark jingle, "Big, Beautiful Country", composed by Jose Mari Chan.
BBC-2 was renamed City 2 Television during the last years of broadcast before the People Power EDSA Revolution. After Corazon Aquino became president, the BBC studios were shut down. Channel 2, which was vacant from February 25, was given back to ABS-CBN, the original owners of the frequency before Martial Law.
