ABS-CBN sacks De Castro's show

[niky]

It's their channel and it's their decision. That's all.

It's a shame about the public utilities. You don't necessarily get into that kind of business for your health, you know. :lol: Meralco was doing fine up until the point where Marcos shafted the Lopezes on that. When the Lopezes returned, though, it was never the same, the damage was done.

I've always been uneasy about having such a high ranking official with such a prominent public affairs program. In my opinion, Noli should have divorced himself completely from MGB when he won.

I guess the point is moot now.

eto ang inside story dyan mga bossing:

sinibak si kabayan kasi nabalitaan ng abs-cbn na pro-GMA siya. ang intindi pala ng abs-cbn pro-GMA 7 at hindi pro-gloria, ayun nagselos, tinanggal sa ere yung MGB!

in another point of view, De Castro owes his popularity and fame to ABS-CBN. hinde siya maging bise kung di dahil sa exposure nya sa Dos.

bite the hand that fed you, it reveals something 'bout a person.

Politics and show business are one and the same, power is the root of it all, the way they use each other comes to no surprise that every good or bad movie has to come to an end.

basta galit ako sa lopez kasi ang mahal nila mag charge sa north expressway... this is to recover daw their investment of 20 to 25 billion (owwss) . I bet this inflated amount of investment was taken from a loan guaranteed by the government. hay...kawawa tayong mga pinoy!

dapat yung ginastos dati ni ramos na 10 billion sa expo pilipino pinangayos na lang ng expressway para gobyerno pa rin ang may hawak (para mababa ang toll fee). grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[oldblue]

always believed na kaya sobrang mahal sa north expressway is to discourage ordinar y business-minded Manilenos to invest in the northern provinces ... masikip na sa manila, the next boom town/areas is the nearby provinces kasi madami na din population sa mga lugar na ito and the exhorbitant fees sa expressway malakas mag-filter ng thrifty investors hehehe

i agree...

[creepy]

The way I see it, the Lopezes had been the favorite whipping boy of the government and nobody on the government is on their (Lopez's) side.

So true. Despite what most people believe, Meralco in particular has been UNFAIRLY SINGLED OUT. Even if you ask other utilities (Davao Light, VECO, etc...), they'd tell you that Meralco is being unfairly treated in their various controversies, simply because of (inaccurate) public perception.

It's a good thing that Meralco and Maynilad are regulated. This means everything that has happened so far to these businesses have been lawful. Marami din kasi ang naglalaway na makuha ang Meralco. Power is big business, man.

Lawful? Hmmm... I think an unbiased third party would find many rulings against Meralco to be highly questionable. The performance of Maynilad, however, is a totally different matter. Maynilad is a total disaster!

In any case, I think MGB is a bad, bad show that panders to the audience's lowest common denominator. If it's cancelled, then GOOD RIDDANCE!

wala nang show si katherine de castro

Personally, I think this is belated news on a belated development. The Inquirer just managed to put a spin on the story, especially in light of last year's political developments.

But on the other hand, may kasalanan din ang ABS-CBN dyan, IMO. I've always believed that they should have axed MGB the moment that Noli ran for, and became, vice-president. But noooooo, they had to promote his daughter Katkat's career, unremarkable as it was.

I still can't believe that it actually took them this long to see that there was an obvious conflict of interest.

The real highway robbery ay ang toll way ng SLEX at NLEX. ang government sana gumawa ng alternate road na 4 lanes para sa mga motorist na ayaw gumamit ng expressway. Dito sa atn parang hindi high way kungdi MY WAY or OUR WAY.

They (Inquirer) need to sell more papers!

kawawa talaga ang meralco. lahat ng tao galit sa meralco kasi sila ang naka-front sa kuryente. pero ang hindi alam ng tao dami kumu komisyon sa electricity bills nila like Napocor, IPP's, the Govt. heto ang nakakapagtaka 2nd major stockholder ng meralco eh gobyerno so kita na sila sa dividends income ng meralco, kumikita pa sila sa Napocor, and they heavily tax meralco pa in terms of those electricity posts na nakatayo sa kalsada na pag-aari din ng gobyerno. then may E-Vat pa etc...

hindi pa kasama dyan ang BIR coz i-tax din ang annual income tax ng parte ng meralco.

Meralco is only distribution kumbaga sa Malls dealers lang sila.

kaya nga galit ang business community sa move ng govt. to takeover Meralco kasi kawawa na nga, pati yun maliit na parti na kinikita ng meralco sa electric bills natin to buy service trucks, to install posts, to buy cables, to collect bills eh lalo pa pinipiga.

what happens kapag pumalpak ang services ng meralco, eh d business community din ang mag-suffer. magkakaproblema ang kuryente, parati brownout.

i agree, tagasingil lang naman sila para sa gobyerno,kawawa na nga meralco lalo pang pinipiga. pag natuloy yung takeover patay na, palpak na ang services magiging tulad na ng maynilad.
