TV5’s Official Statement Re Duterte Political Ad Using Children

“TV5 Network would like to correct speculations that it was among the broadcast stations that aired the negative political advertisement against Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. The particular political advertisement was not aired by TV5 because there were certain requirements that were not complied with. The decision not to air is brought about due to this reason. TV5 does not, in any way, discriminate against or favor any political candidate or party.”
