THE LONG-RUNNING show "Magandang Gabi, Bayan" was pulled off the air because of Vice President Noli de Castro's "problems" with ABS-CBN management regarding his support for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, according to a network insider.
The insider told the Inquirer in a phone interview on Sunday that the Lopezes, owners of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp., had "wanted to use" the weekly current affairs program "to attack the administration."
"When Mr. De Castro refused, it was made clear to him, 'Either help us or leave,'" said the insider, who is close to De Castro and his wife Arlene, and who asked not to be named for fear of loss of employment.
Well, I don't know enough to comment on this but from what I infer, loyalty does go a long way in ABS-CBN...
