Kapuso o Kapamilya?

i read somwhere in the newspaper that the lopez inc lose 3.39 billions already as of '03.

not true...

ABS-CBN EBITDA up 18%, profits 500%

ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. showed indomitable resilience in 2003, with EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) surging 18% to P4.295 billion from P3.642 billion in 2002. EBITDA reflects the company's ability to generate cash from operating its business units, cash which can be used for paying off debt and for investing in promising new projects.

Randy Estrellado, ABS-CBN chief financial officer, attributed the company's strong EBITDA performance to management's determined efforts to "drive revenues, optimize operating efficiencies and closely manage capital spending." The cash pile improves ABS-CBN's financial position and ensures it can settle all obligations due in the next 12 months. Net interest bearing debt in 2003 was down to P4.21 billion and net debt-to-equity stood at 32% versus 46% the previous year.

Reaping the benefits of focusing on its core business after closing down unprofitable units in 2002, ABS-CBN's 2003 net income soared 500% to P1.009 billion from P166 million the previous year. Excluding the impact of losses from discontinued operations, net income would have amounted to P1.011 billion, 131% higher than P438 million in 2002.

it is not just a press release. that was also published in the 2003 Annual Report of ABS-CBN. if am not mistaken, the employees there got a 16th month bonus in 2003.

Let's play "time to burst vixen's bubble" again:

It is no secret that 2003 has been a banner year for ABS-CBN, thanks in large part to the phenomenal success of the Meteor Garden franchise, along with the Philippine arrival of Taiwan superstars Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu. It is interesting to note that Meteor Garden was first offered to GMA-7, but they declined. The current Asia novela hit Lovers In Paris was also initially offered to GMA, and they again refused.

In terms of revenue, GMA-7 indeed currently earns more than ABS-CBN, but this is merely because GMA has opted to bolt out of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), which places restrictions on the number of airtime a private network may grant for product placements. Being emancipated from the KBP, GMA can now accomodate more corporate sponsors for its programs, but at a price. It must now account for all of its earnings, especially since it has announced that it will go public by January 2005. This early, however, various issues have sprung up regarding GMA-7's handling of its financial assets, chief among them is the employees' complaint that the company has been remiss in issuing their holiday bonuses.

In terms of money, vixen, I think it is plain to see that no other media company possesses a more experienced, more organized and more competent financial infrastructure than ABS-CBN. And as far as the phrase "press release" goes, it would certainly be more suited if placed within the context of Pablo Planas, Khaos and Inventionhaus, which have been nothing more so far than a 30-year hype.

naku abs-cbn na lang ang company ng mga lopezes na actually kumikita tapos ngayon lugi na?

actually meron silang telecommunication company, it think thats bayantel, dun sila bumabawi. yung kinikita nun, may part na yun ang pinapang bayad ng utang... aside from dun sa mga ads.

anywayz, ayoko ng pakelaman yan that's waaaaaaaaaay to deep and beside, the philippine economy is in deep s*!8, every businesses suffers, so that's understandable.

nyahaha i read sa isang magazine na talagang nilampaso na ng GMA ang ABS sa lhat ng shows nila mapa tanghali hanggang gabi. I think ang lumalaban lang sa ABS na palabas eh ang mga korea telenovela nila pero iyong mga local shows ala na talaga.
According to that magazine eh ang biggest mistakes ng ABS ay ang partisanship nila sa politika masyadong hinuthot ang eb*#*$# nina lopez ang we*$#$# ni pres GMA.

Mraming show ang kapuso na lumampas ng 30 and mostly 25 and up....
