GMA Network Inc. on Friday reiterated that the witness presented by rival ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. was not hired by GMA Network or any of its officers to conduct ratings manipulation activities in Bacolod City.
In an affidavit previously made public last year, ABS-CBN witness Johnny Aliguin claimed a GMA officer from Iloilo ordered him to manipulate AGB Nielsen TV rating meters in Bacolod.
"After conducting a thorough investigation into the claims of ABS-CBN witnesses, Aliguin included, GMA Network categorically denied ever having Aliguin and the other ABS-CBN witnesses on its payroll," GMA Network said in a statement.
GMA Network issued the statement after Aliguin repeated his claims in court on Thursday. Aliguin testified in a hearing for GMA Network’s petition for TRO stopping ABS-CBN from further airing any more reports outside of court.
Aliguin said Iloilo station manager Jonathan Cabillon was the one who allegedly asked him to conduct ratings manipulation operations in Bacolod City.
"GMA Network (legal counsel) Gene Asuncion said there’s nothing new about Aliguin’s claims, and GMA Network’s categorical denial of links to Aliguin remains firm," GMA Network said. -
