ABS-CBN CEO Mr. Carlo Katigbak Allegedly Seen at BBM Headquarters in Mandaluyong City

 

ABS-search CBN's for a new franchise appears to be ongoing, with top executive Carlo Katigbak purportedly sighted last week visiting President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Mandaluyong offices. 

Joe Barrameda, an Abante writer, claimed to have obtained information concerning Katigbak's attendance at Marcos' office.

“May nagkuwento sa akin na noong isang araw raw ay namataan si Mr. Carlo Katigbak, big boss ng ABS-CBN, sa BBM Headquarters sa Mandaluyong City,” Barrameda said. “Nagtanong ‘yung nakakita kung sino ‘yung dumating. At binanggit daw ng guard na si Carlo Katigbak.”
