> We are disappointed but not surprised by GMA-7’s reactions to the discovery of TV ratings manipulation. It appears that they want to prevent the media from mentioning GMA 7 in connection with cheating in the ratings .
AGB-Nielsen Media Research General Manager Maya Reforma identified GMA-7 as the broadcast network behind the efforts that compromised panel homes in Bacolod.
Furthermore, in Reforma’s affidavit submitted to the Quezon City Regional Trial Court, she admitted that GMA-7 was involved in “tampering” with the panel homes and that “79 of the 532 homes interviewed from the 6 cities were confirmed by panel homes to have been exposed to efforts by GMA.”
Let’s remember that the issue here is about having a clean TV ratings process, the reason we filed a civil case against AGB-Nielsen Media Research. Filing defamation charges against ABS-CBN diverts attention from the real issue. We are confident that the truth will come out.
We are waiting for a formal copy of GMA-7’s complaint so our lawyers can evaluate its merits.
