ABS-CBN Releases Official Statement on the Anne Curtis and GMA-7 USTv Controversy

ABS-CBN, through its Head of Corporate Communications Division Mr. Bong Osorio, has released a statement involving Anne Curtis and GMA-7 staff during the kick-off party of USTv Students' Choice Awards last November 10 (read related news HERE).

Here is the full statement:

We would like to clarify the issues related to the incident at the USTv awards’ launch, where Anne Curtis was invited to perform. The call time for Anne was 7 p.m. and she arrived on time. She was scheduled to sing at 7:30 p.m. as originally scheduled but due to some reasons, the program was delayed.

Because Anne had been waiting for quite some time, the organizers of USTv awards decided to put her spot number after TV5’s presentation and before GMA-7 artists’ number. Unfortunately, she was not able to perform or even greet the crowd because a staff from GMA-7 stopped her. The organizers of the event, who should be the ones making the decisions for the program, failed to control the incident.

ABS-CBN understands that such delays and compromises occur during events like the USTv Awards Kick Off Party. During such times, people involved at the event might just have to extend extra patience and consideration.
