Raffy Tulfo will file a “breach of contract” case against TV5?

According to a Funfare informer, sometime in Oct. 2008, Raffy’s AC Productions, represented by his publicist Joey Sarmiento, started negotiating with TV5 to buy airtime for his show called Wanted, with him as host. Several meetings followed soon after, between October and December, and the deal was finalized.

Last March 2, the contract between AC Productions and MPB Primedia, Inc. (which manages TV5) was signed. AC issued a check for P50,000 to Primedia as “reservation fee.”


Meanwhile, Raffy Tulfo bought editing machines, video cameras, computers and other production equipment; and secured contracts with various advertisers. He also announced the forthcoming show on his dzXL program Wanted sa Radyo. A billboard announcing the show was to be put up along EDSA as per the contract.

As agreed upon, on March 27, AC Productions submitted a Payment Before Broadcast (PBB) check and a tape of the first episode for the MTRCB preview, only for Raffy to receive a letter on the same day from Primedia informing him that TV5 wouldn’t be airing Wanted because it doesn’t conform to the station’s format. Instead, Primedia proposed another show without Raffy in it.
