Dear KaPAB,
Sa senate hearing kanina gumuho ang fake news ng mga trolls about ABS-CBN.
FAKE NEWS #1
“Hindi nagbabayad ng tax ang ABS-CBN!”
FACT:
“BIR: Total tax payment of ABS-CBN is P14,398,464,316.66 from 2016 to 2019, except for the income tax for 2019, which will be filed this April. This includes all taxes, not just corporate income tax. “
Hindi lang milyon ang mawawala dito, bilyon na buwis na puwedeng magamit sa mga proyektong makakatulong sa mga Pilipino.
FAKE NEWS #2
“Hindi nagbabayad ng OT at kinakawawa ang mga empleyado ng ABS-CBN”
FACT:
“Sen Joel Villanueva: Are you practicing ‘endo’?
Nepomuceno: No. They are project-based employees engaged for the production of our shows. We also have other content creators whom we hire as independent contractors.
Villanueva: And these project-based employees enjoy Pag-IBIG, SSS, 13th month pay, etc. Am I correct?
Nepomuceno: Yes. They enjoy all the statutory benefits and more. In fact, we provide them in their benefits package a total of 25 benefits items. “
FAKE NEWS #3
“Illegal Ang Pay-per-view at TV Plus ng ABS-CBN”
FACT:
Sabi pa nga ng NTC hindi lang ABS-CBN ang mayroon ng Pay-per-view, meron din ang ibang broadcasters under KBP.
FAKE NEWS #4
“Hindi 100% Filipino owned ang ABS-CBN dahil may ari ng PDR ay foreigner”
FACT:
“PDR holders do not have the right to vote because they just participate in an enterprise. As PSE says PDRs are not evidences or statements nor certificates of ownership of a corporation.”
FAKE NEWS #5
“US Citizen si Gabby Lopez”
FACT:
Tinanong ni Bato si Carlo Katigbak, ang CEO ng ABS-CBN.
Sen Bato asks “Pilipino ba si Gabby Lopez?”.
Carlo Katigbak: Sa pagkaka-alam ko, YES Pilipino siya at may hawak na Philippine passport”.
Sen Drilon says under Dual Citizenship Act, “reverting to your Filipino citizenship from birth, its retroactive”.
Ang retroactive po ay puwedeng mag take effect ang batas as of prior date.
Humirit pa si Pebbles: “nung 1987 na Amerikano pa siya… tapos nung naging Pilipino na siya, wala na yon?”.
Sinagot siya Ni Drilon, “you are never presumed to have lost your PH citizenship”
Ayun nakalibre ng lecture si Pebbles about sa batas.
Sa more than 6 hours na hearing isa lang ang klaro. Ang pagshut down sa ABS-CBN ay dahil sa hinanakit ng iisang tao.
Lumabas na din ang totoo. Dahil sa tampo ng amo niya, 11,000 na pamilya ang mawawalan ng kinabukasan.
Sabi ni Bong Go, hindi daw vindictive ang Presidente. Sagot ko Naman, “Weh?”.
Sa huli ang katotohanan pa din ang nanaig.
Kawawang Mocha and her minions, pahiya na naman.
Natatawa Ng Bongga,
PAB
