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 was 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 shutdown of ABS-CBN broadcasting due to the cease and desist ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) due to its franchise expiration, the show returned on the newly established Kapamilya Channel on June 14, 2020 with new episodes aired but later on, it reverted to past episodes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines and the Philippine Congress denied 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 on A2Z on July 4, 2021.
On November 5, 2023, the show continued to air on Kapamilya Channel while the airing on A2Z was pre-empted to give way for 2023–24 PBA season until February 11, 2024 as a result of RPTV launched on February 1 (who carried the rest of the PBA season), thus resumed its airing on the latter network a week later.
The rerun ended on June 30, 2024 and was replaced by the revival of Goin' Bulilit after a decade. A week later, it was replaced by My Puhunan: Kaya Mo! on its timeslot.
