ABS-CBN sa reklamo ni Pialago kay Bigornia: Kailangan dito ng masusing imbestigasyon

DORIS BIGORNIA

NAGLABAS na ng official statement ang ABS-CBN Network hinggil sa reklamo ni Metro Manila Development Authority Assistant Secretary Celine Pialago laban sa Kapamilya news reporter na si Doris Bigornia.

Ayon sa ABS-CBN ipinaubaya na nito sa Office of the Network Ombudsman ang pag-iimbestiga sa kasong ihinain ni Pialago laban kay Bigornia.

Pinaratangan ng MMDA spokesperson ang news reporter at radio anchor ng pambu-bully, paninira at pananakit.

Ipinadala nito kay ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs Division Head Ging Reyes ang kanyang opisyal na reklamo.

Narito ang kabuuang statement ng ABS-CBN: “The complaint against Doris Bigornia has been elevated to the Office of the Network Ombudsman in ABS-CBN. This is to ensure an independent and impartial investigation.

“Our news head, Ging Reyes, recognizes the need for a thorough inquiry into the matter, which she expressed in her response to MMDA spokesperson Celine Pialago.

“In ABS-CBN News, we expect our journalists to uphold the highest standards in journalism ethics and to adhere to the network’s Code of Conduct for employees, both of which require them to behave professionally at all times.

“Any allegations of deviation from these will be dealt with seriously.”

Ayon kay Pialago sinaktan siya ni Bigornia nang magkita sila minsan sa Makati City Hall, bukod dito, “She was backstabbing me, saying my nose is fake, my body is fake, and everything about me is fake and that is totally below the belt.”

Wala raw idea si Pialago kung bakit tila galit ma galit sa kanya si Bigornia.

Kasabay ng kanyang ipinadalang reklamo, nakiusap din sa ABS-CBN management si Pialago na kung maaari ay palitan na si Bigornia ng ibang reporter para mag-cover sa MMDA beat.
