ABS-CBN issues statement on complaint against TV director
ABS-CBN has broken its silence on the complaint against its director Cathy Garcia-Molina by a former talent who took to social media to ventilate her complaints against the director.
On December 30, a talent in ABS-CBN television series “Forevermore” aired her grievances on social media against director Molina, whom she said cursed and humiliated her boyfriend who agreed to play a role as substitute actor in the former primetime drama in 2014.
Domingo shared a copy of the complaint they filed on Oct. 22, 2014 addressed to ABS-CBN broadcast head Cory Vidanes.
“ABS-CBN acknowledged and responded immediately to Alvin Campomanes when he wrote to us in October 2014. We also sought a meeting with Mr Campomanes and Rossellyn Domingo through MTQ Promotions and Talent Management, the agency that engaged their services for the project,” ABS-CBN said in a statement sent to INQUIRER.net on Tuesday.
“But we were later informed by MTQ Promotions and Talent Management owner Mary Ann Trumata-Rejano that there was no need for a meeting as they had met with Mr Campomanes and Ms Domingo and settled the issue,” the statement added.
The network said they were “surprised to learn that the issue has not been resolved” when they knew about the open letter Domingo posted.

ABS-CBN acknowledged and responded immediately to Alvin Campomanes when he wrote to us in October 2014. We also sought a meeting with Mr Campomanes and Rossellyn Domingo through MTQ Promotions and Talent Management, the agency that engaged their services for the project.
But we were later informed by MTQ Promotions and Talent Management owner Mary Ann Trumata-Rejano that there was no need for a meeting as they had met with Mr Campomanes and Ms Domingo and settled the issue.
When Ms Domingo posted an open letter on her Facebook last Dec 30, we were surprised to learn that the issue has not been resolved, contrary to what the talent agency owner told us. At present, we are in communication with Mr Campomanes and both parties have agreed to meet to resolve the matter.
