GMA President tanggap na ang PAGKATALO at PAGKALUGI; pero mga tagahanga NAGBUBULAG-BULAGAN pa rin!!

Sa pagkawala ng trabaho ng maraming GMA Network employees nitong nakaraang buwan sa ilang mga regional offices ng nasabing network ay ang patuloy namang usap-usapang susunod na rin daw ang main office ng syete sa Queszon City.

Ngunit nitong nakaraang araw, May 15 -- ay nailathala ng entertainment website na Rappler ang mismong pag-amin at pagtanggap ng Presidente at Chief Executive Officer ng GMA Network na si Felipe Gozon ang kanilang nakakaalarmang unti-unting paglubog sa mundo ng business. 

Pero sa kabila ng maluwag na pagtanggap ng Presidente ay siya namang kitid ng utak ng mga tagahanga nito dahil sa patuloy na pagbubulag-bulagan nila sa totoong sitwasyon ng kanilang NUMBER 1 istasyon ng bansa ayon sa iba't ibang entertainment Facebook pages. At pilit na dinidiin na sila pa rin ang nangunguna. 

Hindi ito sa pagiging biased, this is just about how people behave in various pages, Ngunit ang nasabing behaviour ay siya rin behaviour ng mga tagahanga ng ABS-CBN. But this time ang mismong Presidente na ng GMA ang nasabing "LUGI KAMI E".

Pero wag kayo malay nyo this is the major strategy ng network para ang tuluyang lumubog ay ang kabilang istasyon ay magpatuloy na mangibabaw ang istasyong GMA NETWORK sa buong bansa at mundo. 

Narito ang ilang exclusive dialogue ni GMA President and Chief Executive Office Felipe Gozon, exclusively published on  Rappler:

Asked if the same will happen to its Manila office, the chief of GMA-7 replied: “It’s a continuing process,” noting that the company “will save millions of pesos” due to lower overhead cost.

Gozon said that his network gained “big savings” from the layoffs in regional stations.

“Lugi kami eh. Wala nang ratings eh. In short, wala nang silbi. Lahat naman ng managers ay ginagawa ito. Kung hahayaan mo lang, eh ‘di maba-bankrupt ka. (We were losing money. Ratings were low. In short, there’s no use. All managers do this. If you let this happen, you’ll be bankrupt),” he explained.

 “We’re done with regional offices, but here in the main office, we still have to know by how many; we’re constantly reviewing,” GMA President and Chief Executive Officer Felipe Gozon told reporters in a briefing Thursday, May 14 when asked if its manpower reduction program is still ongoing.

In a statement in April, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) regarded the network's claim of "strategic streamlining" to justify the layoffs as a "play on words" that "belies the grim reality that almost all employees in regional news desks of the network will lose their jobs."

NUJP said the network "is not on the brink of bankruptcy with no recourse but to let go of its employees to stay afloat."\

Under the Constitution, workers are guaranteed security of tenure or the right against termination without just cause and due process.

In 2014, GMA saw its bottom line shrink by 40% to P1.01 billion ($22.67 million) due to the lack of political advertisements that lifted its income a year before, during the 2013 elections.

But in the first quarter of the year, its net income jumped 25% to P408 million ($9.15 million), from P326 million ($7.31 million) a year ago.

Its revenues also went up by 5% to P3.01 billion ($67.50 million) from P2.85 billion ($63.91 million).

The chief of the country’s second largest broadcaster by market value said: “Our performance in the first quarter is a good indication that 2015 will be a much better year for our company.”
