LOPEZ GROUP'S P1.6 BILLION DBP LOAN SCANDAL INTENSIFIES!

The Senate is currently investigating behest loans granted by the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), and so far the loans to former Trade Minister Roberto Ongpin are at the center of the sights of the investigators. I have been watching the hearings, waiting for the disclosure of the DBP loans granted—and written off—to the Lopez family. But every time the questioning heads in that direction, a senator related to the Lopezes steers the discussion in another direction.

DESPITE LOSING THE NUTAM LEADERSHIP, ABS-CBN NOW THE MOST PROFITABLE TV NETWORK!

Despite losing the viewership battle in NUTAM, ABS-CBN Corp. is now back as the country's most profitable TV Network! 

The Lopez-led conglomerate finished the 9-month period with a net income of P2.2 billion, higher than GMA's P1.58 billion, with TV5 still incurring multi-million net losses. This is the second consecutive year ABS-CBN bested GMA in both profits and ad revenues after nearly a decade of GMA's dominance in profit making.   

ABS-CBN CORP. Q3 NET INCOME P40 MILLION HIGHER THAN GMA NETWORK!

For third quarter of 2011 ABS-CBN Corp's  net income amounted to P562 million down  11% from P635 million in the same period last year. However this is still better than rival GMA Network (click here) which netted P525 million in Q3. The drop on both media giants were blamed from the global economic turmoil which trimmed advertisement budgets of Multi-national companies.

ABS-CBN RELEASES OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE USTV KICK OFF PARTY INCIDENT!

We would like to clarify the issues related to the incident at the USTv awards’ launch, where Anne Curtis was invited to perform. The call time for Anne was 7PM and she arrived on time. She was scheduled to sing at 7:30 PM as originally scheduled but due to some reasons, the program was delayed.

Because Anne had been waiting for quite some time, the organizers of USTv awards decided to put her spot number after TV5’s presentation and before GMA 7 artists’ number. Unfortunately, she was not able to perform or even greet the crowd because a staff from GMA-7 stopped her. The organizers of the event, who should be the ones making the decisions for the program, failed to control the incident.

ABS-CBN understands that such delays and compromises occur during events like the USTv Awards Kick Off Party. During such times, people involved at the event might just have to extend extra patience and consideration.
