ABS-CBN issues statement on MMK’s ‘Blusa’ issueABS-CBN on Tuesday released a statement addressing the issues generated by a controversial episode of drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK),” which features real life stories of ordinary people.   

Below is the official statement released by Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications head:

Storytelling in “Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK)” is always based on narratives sent to the program by people who want to share their stories. MMK decides to go into production of the chosen stories ONLY after the letter sender has signed a waiver attesting to the authenticity of the story sent.

MMK recognizes that a number of UPLB alumni are questioning the truthfulness of one letter sender who claims that her sister, the main character in “Blusa” essayed by Ms. Angel Locsin, was indeed a UPLB BS AgriBusiness summa cum laude graduate who could not find a job and ended up as a stripper.

When MMK found out about the adverse reactions, the MMK production group went back to the letter sender to inform her of the issue raised and to re-verify her account. She reiterated that she stands by her story.

Be that as it may, and after careful deliberation, MMK realizes that its writing and research pool may have been remiss in one thing----verifying with UPLB the veracity of the indicated facts of the letter sender. Having said that,  MMK sincerely apologizes for the oversight.

MMK always aims for truth and excellence. This incident may have deviated from its tight norm, but rest assured that MMK will continue to serve its publics with utmost care and respect.
