The head of ABS-CBN Integrated News and Current Affairs defends that the broadcasting network always keeps its biases in check and it corrects any errors as needed.
Ging Reyes made the remark as the House joint panels on legislative franchises and good governance put the spotlight on the alleged reporting biases of ABS-CBN.
“Hindi po kami perpekto. Wala pong news organization na perpekto. Sa kabila ng mga pagi-ingat at pagbabantay, inaamin po namin na nagkamali rin po kami. Gayunpaman, agad din po kaming umaaksyon,” Reyes added. On the other hand, former ABS-CBN journalist Kata Inocencio also defended her former company, saying that journalists of the network were never told to slant their stories to favor anyone.
“Halatang halata na ginawa ang inyong broadcast network, lalapit lang sa empleyado niyo para makapasok. Do you look at this as responsible journalism? Ilang autopsy ginawa ni [Dr. Erwin] Erfe bago niyo hininto? If I recall right, hindi niyo hininto hanggat hindi tigil tao makinig,” said Garin. She added, “As a result, I acted on it immediately and we dealt with the commentator as well. We also put an end on stories on Dengvaxia that tended to cause alarm on the public.”ABS-CBN CEO Carlo Katigbak, on the other hand, admitted that the network failed to air political advertisements of some politicians in the previous elections.
He also added that even the campaign advertisement of presidential candidate Mar Roxas was not even aired in some provinces.
