Who, Why and When to Blame in ABS-CBN’s fiasco

Last 3 October 2006, I sent a letter to Abante Columnist Jojo Gabinete through Anime Kabayan. I detailed my resentment over on three W’s, Who, When and Why

Who to blame, technically, some geniuses in ABS-CBN do not use their minds well, like Gabby Lopez and Charo Santos (heck considering that she is the programming head of Channel 2 Manila), they hire the services of those “incompetent incognitos” to helm over the anime programming of ABS-CBN. They almost ran out of ideas on what to do over promotions and program management (talking about loss of PR).

When to blame, NOW, that time is now, I almost lost my voice over on the assertion that although there is Hero TV, we still have ABS-CBN and we are waiting for it. The timeframe for the airing of GSD is getting late, definitely late. , We are not warning them of the consequences once the rival network airs their gambit, Bleach. However if ABS-CBN decides to compete with Bleach, some things should be done for the sake of their “resurrection” and that would be:

1. Removal of Mexican Telenovelas which are destructive to the nature of afternoon viewing
2. Remove some nonperforming programs, Like KAPAMILYA CINEMA, and
3. If they really have the GUTS and the TESTICLES, PUT at least 2 animes on the Primetime Bida block,

That way, we can see ABS-CBN really compete in the true essence of Mainstream programming

Why to blame, the Machiavellian concept of “The end justifies the means” is true here in ABS-CBN. What they never expected is the rush GMA gave to Studio 23’s Copycat, QTV11. They used ABS-CBN’s hibernation to buffer the former’s comeback with adding up new titles to the latter, and that includes two former top-rating ABS-CBN anime Cardcaptor Sakura and Samurai X. What ABS-CBN’s loss is what QTV11 and GMA’s gain (of course, with Parent Company of QTV, Bro. Eddie Villanueva’s Zoe Broadcasting Network indirectly gratified too.).

Opening up a resent to a policy is one form of democracy. In addition, because the Philippines is a democratic country, we see no evil telling the damages and wrongdoings Asia’s first commercial broadcaster is currently incurring right now. As I hope, that this crisis will completely end through just and fair reforms in programming which I hope ABS-CBN will do for the sake of the Pinoy Otaku.
