The "queen" still hold sway on who's head will be on the chopping block...

MANILA, Philippines – There’s a little war going on in the newsroom of a broadcasting giant.

Copies of a letter purportedly written by Korina Sanchez, one of ABS-CBN’s anchors against reporter RG Cruz and addressed to management, are making the rounds of employees.

In the letter, a copy of which was furnished the Philippine Daily Inquirer last weekend, Cruz was assailed for “attacks” that he had posted in his Facebook account against a “First Lady wannabe … who would eventually be a bad spouse” and a “queen in her head without a crown.”

Asked to comment, Maria Ressa, ABS-CBN senior vice president for news and current affairs, referred the Inquirer to the company’s corporate communications division headed by Bong Osorio.

In a text statement sent to the Inquirer, Osorio, head of ABS-CBN’s Corporate Communications division, said management was “looking into” the issue “and we will determine what actions to take in relation to the actuations of the people involved in the issue.”
