I’m not the biggest fan of ABS, especially considering how they’ve treated some talents and the favoritism that seemed to grow along the way. At one point, the network honestly felt like it got too full of itself. But NONE of that JUSTIFIES what happened to them. Their franchise was revoked by Duterte and his allies for purely political reasons, an abuse of power meant to silence the media, and that was wrong, plain and simple. They deserve to have their franchise restored. Not because they’re perfect, but because press freedom matters and no administration should be allowed to shut down a network just to punish criticism. Bring their franchise back!!!
Totally agree. However it appears that abs is no longer interested in the franchise since the Villars already took their frequency. Pretty sure that if they sell it back, it will be a very very steep price
Nagmataas din yung ang mga Lopezes kahit kay PNoy. Tapos sabi ni duterte na scammer sila kasi tumatanggap ng bayad pero hindi na air ang campaign commercial nila. Kung hindi nila gusto ang candidate wag sila tumanggap ng bayad. Shady din ang ABS kaya nakalkal lahat ng baho pati sa mga trabahador may complaints against them that were put under the rug.
1:50 Yung mga sinasabi mo tungkol sa Lopezes or sa issues sa ABS CBN, hindi yan ang point. Kahit may mga pagkukulang ang isang kumpanya, hindi ibig sabihin puwede nang gamitin ng presidente ang buong makinarya ng gobyerno para parusahan sila dahil lang na-offend siya. Hindi ganoon gumagana ang demokrasya. Yung campaign ad issue ni Duterte, naayos na yun. ABS CBN refunded the payment and apologized. Business dispute yun, hindi valid reason para ipasara ang buong network at mawalan ng trabaho libo-libong empleyado. Hindi mo winawasak ang buong kumpanya dahil lang sa tampo ng isang politiko. At real talk, lahat ng politiko may reklamo sa media. Lahat ng network may bias. Lahat ng korporasyon may internal problems. Pero si Duterte lang ang gumamit ng kapangyarihan ng estado para manupil ng media outlet na hindi niya gusto. Yun ang mali. Press freedom is supposed to protect even the outlets you disagree with. Yan ang essence ng isang tunay na malayang bansa!
@1:25 That excuse has been debunked so many times it’s almost funny. The franchise may have been up for renewal during PNoy’s term, but there was zero effort from Congress to weaponize it. Nobody was trying to shut them down. Because under PNoy, the goal wasn’t to bully the media. The only reason ABS lost its franchise was because Duterte publicly threatened them and his allies carried out the political hit. That’s the truth. Trying to blame PNoy is just a lazy way to dodge the fact that Duterte used government power to go after a network he didn’t like. So let’s stop pretending this was some technical oversight. It was a deliberate move to silence the press, and everyone knows it!
1:32 Not true at all.lol Let’s be honest, nobody’s sitting around watching old school TV anymore. Advertisers aren’t dumb, they’ve already moved their money to online platforms because that’s where real viewers actually are. Regular TV is dying, and at the rate it’s going, it’ll be OBSOLETE in a few years. Some people just refuse to accept reality because it doesn’t fit the narrative they’re clinging to.lol
Bakit sa comments kampi pa ang tao sa abs. Mas malaki ang declared revenue ng abs sa gma. Okay ba yun? Sabihin mo malaki kita mo pero di ka nagbabayad ng utang at bills mo?

Ay wag na. E ayan o maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw, di marunong magbayad.

At 115 people always blame duterte but it was pnoys admin that did not renew their franchise
ReplyDelete@1:25 ano pinagsasabi mo? mag research ka ng balita. Yung totoong balita hindi fake news.
DeleteLol what a lie. Duterte even have video clips saying he will kill the franchise
DeleteThank you for pointing it out. I am getting Duterte fatigue with everything being linked to them.
Delete140 he will not be in the position to do that kung narenew yung franchise nila before expiration. Eh nagkafalling out na sila ng mga aquino

Goodluck TV, wala naman kayong napasikat na home grown artist eh
ReplyDeleteKahit IS kaya pala nanganib din contract nila with GMA. Nabalita malaki rin utang ng ABS sa GMA. Buti na lang nagkaayos sila.
ReplyDeleteThis shows na hindi talaga malaki kita sa YouTube. Kahit millions of views pa yan at trending. Sa TV ads talaga kumikita ang networks.

DeleteThis is a bigger loss for TV5. Ang baba ng ratings ng home grown shows nila. Sa narinig ko never pa kumita ang TV5 ever since nakuha ni MVP.
ReplyDeleteFor real
DeleteAyon sa report noon nalulugi TV5 pero ngayon hindi kumikita pero hindi nalulugi... break even
DeleteYung content ng ABS, sa streaming apps ko na pinapanood. May nanonood pa ba ng TV ngayon????
ReplyDeleteSo saan na papanuorin abs? Kaya nga lang sila nag survive bec of TV 5
ReplyDeleteBakit sa comments kampi pa ang tao sa abs. Mas malaki ang declared revenue ng abs sa gma. Okay ba yun? Sabihin mo malaki kita mo pero di ka nagbabayad ng utang at bills mo?
