ICYMI: Three resolutions seeking an investigation on the merger between media giants ABS-CBN and TV5, along with allegations that TV5 is foreign-owned, have been forwarded to the House of Representatives’ committee on legislative franchises.

“There were published reports alleging that ABC Development Corporation, presently known as TV5 Network, the country’s third major player in the television market, and part of a cross-media conglomerate owned by Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan’s MediaQuest Holdings Incorporated under the [PLDT] Beneficial Trust Fund, is actually owned by an Indonesian national,” the resolution from Palma read.

HR No. 281 from Quezon province 2nd District Rep. David Suarez and HR No. 282 from TGP party-list Rep. Jose Teves meanwhile want an investigation on the block time agreements between the two networks, with Teves’ resolution focusing on why TV Patrol — ABS-CBN’s flagship news program — was allowed to air in TV5.

However, it is unclear when these three resolutions would be tackled as it appears the committee backtracked on its agenda for Thursday’s hearing.

It was a tactical bluff/move by TV5 & ABS CBN when they announced in media their supposed collaboration/merger, and as they expected to trigger Congress to react and initiates a probe. TV5 & ABS CBN are laughing. Lets wait/see how Congress reacts & put to rest their bluffing.
