they just didn't count on the onion skinned facade of duterte...considering gma 7 also aired the political ad from trillanes w/c was, and still is, the president's primal source of contempt.

But GMA 7 did not do what they did ... i.e., NOT show the ad that was paid for THEN refuse to return the money ...

Hindi ba galit din si PNoy sa ABS-CBN as he said in his speech on the 25th anniversary of the channel? Or kay kabayan lang sya galit?

after isara, gusto naman pagbayarin at ikunin ang properties:

Was wondering if this part is even true ... who would think they could get away with declaring a 44,000 square meter property as only 44 square meters? ...

Marcoleta recalled that during the 14-day House inquiry into ABS-CBN’s franchise application, network executives had presented a title for only a 42-sq-m lot, and not the complex housing their buildings and transmitters.

Anyway, the ones who voted against ABS have to make sure that this issue will not come back to haunt them in the future ... so they'll kick the hell out of ABS while it's down ...

If you have made too many enemies, don’t expect them to be your friends when in need. Hehehe

If Gina Lopez was still alive maybe she could be the bridge between Gabby and Duterte.

NOT TRUE ... they counted on Mar winning ... since every candidate that they backed has always won ... they never expected Duterte to win since they were supposedly THE "king makers" ... their arrogance during Pnoys tenure cost them the franchise renewal during his tenure ... so they moved heaven and earth to make sure Mar would win ... but he didn't ...

FALSE ASSUMPTION.

the president was a kapamilya vip for 17 years. his sunday morning tv talk show "gikan sa masa" (from the masses in english) was aired on tv and simultaneously broadcasted on their am radio regional network for almost 2 decades. and due to that, his popularity amplified via sound bites that were re-shown on youtube and fb w/ much flavor and fanfare. not to mention that his pronouncements were quoted ad infinitum by local and national newspapers for practically a vicennial.

to say that abs-cbn wasn't part of the then slick duterte campaign machinery is just being plain obtuse.

and as every big business operates here and abroad, it would be terribly naive to believe that a big chunk of multi million corporations worth its salt do not provide - for the lack of a better word - sustenance to the campaign potty of every viable candidate. the 2016 presidential election was no different.

If I've learned anything about politics, it's that you can't trust people all the time, but you can trust the direction of money all the time. Question we should be asking is, who stands to benefit from the closure/sale? Therein lies the answer.

abs-cbn actually SUCCESSFULLY refunded the amount of php 4 million ++ advertising moolah to the duterte group.

the remaining balance of unaired ad money, amounting to php 2.6 million, was then rejected by the presidential camp (for reasons only known to themselves) saying it would be best to just donate the sum to an entity of charity instead.
