>ABS-CBN stands by its earlier statement that its senior sports correspondent Dyan Castillejo interviewed Manny Pacquiao at a recent victory party for only 35 minutes.
In fact, Castillejo and her team waited patiently for two hours before they were asked to start the interview, which was done with the prior knowledge and permission of Pacquiao and the host of the party.
It is conduct unbecoming of a TV executive to be calling Castillejo “sinungaling.” It is certainly not our style to feed misleading information or invent details for the media.
Despite the negative campaign, Castillejo has remain unfazed and will continue to deliver news stories that matter to the Filipino people such as the triumphs of Pacquiao, who serves as an inspiration to our countrymen.
We thank the public for their continued patronage of our news and current affairs programs.
