A Tacloban-based broadcasting company, founded more than a decade ago by House Majority Floor Leader Martin Romualdez, is pitching to air shows of the Lopez-owned ABS-CBN over a year after Congress denied the media giant a franchise.

Michelle Ayangco and Hermogene Real are the top shareholders of the company, each owning 49.99%. Real is also a director of Bright Kindle Resources and Investments and corporate secretary of mining company Benguet Corporation, firms tied to the Romualdez family.

It was granted a legislative franchise by virtue of Republic Act 9773 to cover Eastern Visayas. In 2020, its legislative franchise was amended by Republic Act 11508 to expand to national coverage.PCMC is looking at a stock-for-stock merger with PRIM, resulting in PRIM owning PCMC, and PCMC shareholders owning 70% of PRIM’s outstanding stock.

For PRIM, the deal will enable it to become a “viable and operational business entity” and “address its capital deficiency, negative equity, and non-operation.” With PCMC’s national franchise, PRIM intends to use it as leverage “to provide other content providers an avenue to broadcast their contents regionally and nationwide.”
