  1. 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 Their franchise was revoked by Duterte and his allies for purely political reasons, an abuse of power meant to silence the media, and that was wrong, plain and simple.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!!!

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

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

    5. 2:08 kailan nila binalik noong may trial na? Business ethics ng ABS is questionable kasi sabihin na natin bias ang ABS ano ba ang mag refuse sila ng bayad or kausapin si Duterte noon nag campaign na na ibabalik na nila ang binayad ni Duterte kasi wala ng slot available, make any excuse but kausapin mo ng mabuti ang mga nag bayad na sa kanila kasi it was a transaction and dapat professional ang ABS. Hindi lang pera ni Duterte yun kasi ang dami nag donate sa campaign niya kaya sympre magagalit si Duterte. Sana nailagay na niya sa GMA or ibang network

    6. At 1:50 mas shady ang mga politician who tried to silence media for freedom of speech by shutting it down. It’s a business. It has the right to refuse business if it’s against their values. Duterte admin was very wrong on shutting them down. Look what US did when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel et al. As powerful he is, he cannot do so because of “freedom of speech”. And don’t get me started my abs cbn not paying their taxes right. Ang daming establishments sa manila na ganyan din (yung kapitbahay namin taga BIR, bayaran) at ang mga negosyo, ayun, going strong pa rin. So Bakit ABS CBN lang? How about yung mga nag nakaw sa kaban ng bayan? Bakit hindi sila tangalan ng license to operate or ipakulong man lang? It only serves them interest if the affected party is the target.

    1. @1:25 ano pinagsasabi mo? mag research ka ng balita. Yung totoong balita hindi fake news.

    2. Lol what a lie. Duterte even have video clips saying he will kill the franchise

      Delete
    3. Thank you for pointing it out. I am getting Duterte fatigue with everything being linked to them.

      Delete
    4. 140 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

      Delete
    5. @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!

  4. Kahit IS kaya pala nanganib din contract nila with GMA. Nabalita malaki rin utang ng ABS sa GMA. Buti na lang nagkaayos sila.

  5. This shows na hindi talaga malaki kita sa YouTube. Kahit millions of views pa yan at trending. Sa TV ads talaga kumikita ang networks.

    1. 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

    2. Sa true... ang kitaan nila sa online kakarampot lang din compared sa kinikita nila sa tv. Sabihin nyong obsolete ang TV pero mas malaki kitaan nila doon kesa sa online kayat di makabangon ang ABS sa utang kasi di sapat kita nila kahit million or billions pa subscribers/views nila. lol

      Delete
    3. True yan @1:32, walang alam si @ 2:14. Sa tv milyones agad ang kita, seconds palang, di gaya sa social media. Daming influencers jan na milyones followers, pero di pa din kilala. Barya lang kinikita nila compared sa A-listers like Anne, Marian, Piolo etc. na di naman active mag-youtube.

      Delete
    4. Not true. According to my source, the other top network might not be able to give bonus this year since it has been losing money with less TV ads. Companies are now banking on online and social media ads as most people are now using online platforms when watching shows/contents.

      Delete
    5. 2:49 That mindset is stuck in 2005. Brands don’t throw money at TV just because someone claims “millions of viewers.” Those numbers don’t mean anything if people are on their phones during commercials. Online platforms give advertisers what TV never could: real engagement, real data, and real results. That’s why ad budgets have been leaving TV in MASSIVE chunks.
      And yung “followers but not famous,” that’s a shallow take. Influence today is measured by impact, not by whether you fit the old-school celebrity checklist. Even your so-called A-listers need digital platforms now just to stay relevant. The industry already moved on.
      Some people like you just haven’t caught up! lol

  6. This 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.
