Last December 2007, ABS-CBN filed a case against AGB Nielsen, a research firm that specializes on the study of TV consumption. ABS-CBN’s allegation was about the result of the ratings that the AGB-Nielsen provided. The network claimed that the result of the ratings have something to do with some bribery of other networks in Bacolod. ABS-CBN believed that the other network provided groceries, and cash to those houses with meter-boxes, which is a tool where the research firm can trace which network is being watched in the household.
In one of the episodes of The Buzz, ABS-CBN claimed that the network that bribed AGB-Nielsen was GMA. The network had a witness that testified that GMA was behind those bribing. However, when the court asked for IDs, or some form of proof to check if he was actually affiliated to GMA, he couldn’t show any.
GMA network filed a libel case against ABS-CBN because of the statement of malice against them. GMA network argued that they didn’t bribe anyone from Bacolod since they do not have any promotional activities in that area. They presented this during the press conference that was held this January 2008.
Until now, this case has not been resolved. ABS-CBN is appealing for motion to consideration in the court. And ABS-CBN and GMA are continuously showing proofs about the issue. They have done a lot of corporate advertising telling the viewers how they are against such unethical practice. And ultimately, both networks claim that the fight is not about business but about the search for the truth.
Who do you think is telling the truth? Who do you think is behind the bribery? Feel free to voice out your comments!

I don't know who to believe anymore. Both networks are always trying to prove their better than the other. The competition is getting annoying!
does that mean that you don't care? Don't you think that this issue may affect you and the other business industries in the future, especially the ad industries and other related media industries?.. I think you can still share your thoughts on who do you think tells more truth... though we all know that behind their public service announcements and evidences in the court, part of those are lies.
:)
What's the motivation of ABS-CBN for creating this issue? As of know,they did not win the case...
I enjoy shows in ABS-CBN but unfortunately, I'd go for GMA! ABS-CBN can't even show real evidence to prove their point!
Mr. comment, what do you think are the evidences GMA showed in the public? Do you really believe in what they actually said or showed?
:)
i think ABS over exaggerated things a bit. no wonder they lost the case..
ABS-CBN sensationalized the issue...
Haaay naku! Let the court settle this issue please.Nakakasawa na!!!!
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Ano ba yan??? Kaya tuloy mabagal umasenso ang PInas.... always finding faults! Parating CRAB MENTALITY...
nakaka discouraged talaga, how these two Stations fight each other.Nawawalan ka tuloy ng Faith sa mga owners & Staff.
Mga kababayan! Manood na lang tayo ng CNN, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet,Lifestyle...Educational pa.
uhmmm... in a nutshell please... i dont get it.
i just hate this issue, it's so over rated.
i agree with MANANG.. haha.. this is issue is out of our hands. Let the court handle it lawfully
What the hell? this is boring:( sorry
wow, this is serious stuff.
i think what ABS currently does is unethical. They're making too much fuzz on the issue. I know their credibility is at stake, but they shouldn't influence the people in their own decisions and perceptions about the case by showing too much advertorials against GMA
thanks for sharing this to us I am STRONG
numb..
i need a break from these kind of issues
I personally believe with what oranges is saying. I think ABS should start keeping their mouth shut (figuratively) :) for the reason that the case is currently on TRIAL. so it's unethical to be showing advertorials against GMA because that could jeopardize the case itself, and the people's judgements.

will this issue improve our life?
None of them will admit their mistakes
ginagawa na lang nilang over mga issues para lag sumikat 2 station
I agree that they just sentionalized the issue
Para lang may maibalita
I think GMA is telling the truth
With that issue, may bago nanamang pag aawayan ang mga chismosa
Whatever the truth is, it wont help me
Why is ABS silenced now?
The question is, kahit matalo ang isa, are they willing to tell the truth why they lost the case?
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news.
There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
There are truths on this side of the Pyranees, which are falsehoods on the other.
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.
Truth springs from argument amongst friends.
are they friends???
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
ABS is more successful than GMA but it doesn't mean they are telling the truth
I agree that ABS leads the ratings
What happened to ABS Nielsen witness?
what if one of them proved the other is guilty?
guilty or not guilty im sure both station hinaluan na ng lies and mga details
both would do anything just to gain public patronage
ewan ko sa kanila
i think instead of fighting kung sino ang nagsasabi ng truth, tumulong na lang sila sa iba
the country has more issues na kailangan harapin
poverty, crime and other social concerns are more important than issues of ratings and the truth behind it
Kung lumabas ang truth sa issue na yan, mapapakain ba nyan ang mga nagugutom na family?
Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
hahaha.. like with this issue
Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.
ay ang gulo na nga ng pilipinas, may extrang issue pa ang mga tagapag balita
it's time for them to be like celebrities
mahirap na malaman truth about that issue
if they are really for the filipino service, itulong na lang nila sa mga needy people yung ginagastos nila sa laban na yan
pagiging bayani?
baka lahat ng klase ng evidence lumabas nmanalo lang sila hehehe
kapuso man o kapamilya iba talaga ang pinoy
as time goes by pahirap nang pahirap silang paniwalaan
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.
A historian who would convey the truth must lie. Often he must enlarge the truth by diameters, otherwise his reader would not be able to see it.
If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.
media will always sensationalize issues to make them more attractive
There are many more wrong answers than right ones, and they are easier to find.
it's funny na pareho silang may pang tapat na sagot sa isa't isa
It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.
both are intellectuals kaya
The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.
i hope this will end soon
will they gain more viewers with this issue?
i like the quotes...
i don't care about the issue
may kanya kanyang baho din sila
eh ano naman kung mapatunayang guilty abs or gma? they will still continue with the business
its a waste of time and money
i agree with the comment that they should rather help those in need
they shouldn't aired the issue
sana they just settle it quitely
you know media, you can't keep their mouth shut
bakit ganun na lang kalakas ang loob ng ABS to air those allegations?
maybe they really want to monopolize the media industry
if that is so, they can't put GMA down, it's a big network
maybe they are really hiding the truth
pareho kasi silang lagot sa tao hhehe
i think they should focus more on improving their shows
They should think of something that will have a good influence on their viewers
media is also responsible for promoting immorality
i think they should think of better ways to help not to destroy people
here are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual.
none of them will admit that they are guilty, just like any religion that none of them will say they are not the truth
To rationalize their lies, people -- and the governments, churches, or terrorist cells they compose -- are apt to regard their private interests and desires as just.
im not surprised with what is happening
none of them has told plain truth in their entire existence
both of them are used to lying
both networks is doing good
doing good in hiding the truth
tapos sumabay pa ang ZTE issue...
hahaha, its AGb Nielsen not ABS
aasenso nang mabilis ang pinoy nyan! hehehe ;P
I don't care about their issue, as long as they have good shows ok lang ako
magkikita kita din sila sa hell
hahaha... dun sila mag hatid ng news
maraming balita duon, daming demons eh, mataas crime rate
who will show humility kaya sa dalawang network?
i don't think that they will do that, it's their reputation at stake
truth ano un, nakakain ba yun?
konti na lang ang honest people and i don't know if my honest industry pa
most people today don’t think it makes sense to tell the truth all the time.
Many businessmen claim they could not compete successfully without some dishonesty
Advertisements come into our view daily that exaggerate or misrepresent.
Though political leaders are supposed to be watching over the public’s welfare, many people view them as untrustworthy.
Seeing so much dishonesty among adults, young people often adopt the same course.
kawawang JUAN DELA CRUZ!!!
what benefit will bring to those stations if they tell the plain truth?
honesty is it really the best policy?
noon yes, now, ewan ko lang
