We beg to differ.
It didn’t help that the Philippines’ erstwhile top mass media corporation initially attempted to frame its legal troubles in a dishonest way and, worse, tried to pervert the honour of no less than the Philippine Senate to its corporate ends. Even in the early days, it was like a cornered animal biting at everything around…

The clock is ticking for ABS-CBN. With every day that the gigantic corporation bets its fate on the “support” of the Opposition, particularly its most rabid partisans loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) and the shrill “fandom” of its congress of talentless starlets, its once-ascendant brand equity is diminished several notches.

Cooped up within their homes, Filipinos will soon learn how to entertain themselves without the perverted “entertainment” shoved down their throats supposedly “in the service of…
Filipinos should get a grip. It is actually possible to live without ABS-CBN. It’s been proven. Many chi chi Ateneans and other private school kids who form part of ABS-CBN executive management very likely lead entire lives not watching a single one of the “entertainment” products their own company subjects Filipinos to. Indeed, an interesting…

It’s almost unreal. According to a breaking Manila Bulletin report, ABS-CBN has signed off and has gone off air in compliance to a cease and desist order from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) after the network’s license to broadcast expired yesterday. It was lights out following its final TV Patrol broadcast. Opposition groups were, as…
