ABS-CBN denied reports that the network sent an emissary to bribe lawmakers to vote in favor of the network’s franchise renewal. This is in response to a statement issued by ACT-CIS Rep. Eric Yap that someone called him who claimed to be an emissary of ABS-CBN and offered him Php 200 million in exchange for a yes vote.
In a tweet by Philippine Star, Rep Yap said: “simple lang ang sagot ko, hindi for sale ang prinsipyo at boto ko.”
