Korina Sanchez, a broadcaster, has dismissed claims that she is recruiting ABS-CBN talent for Manny Villar’s new network.
There were reports circulating back then regarding the broadcaster and Mar Roxas’ wife allegedly being overworked in recruiting talent to transfer and work with the Advanced Media Broadcasting Systems (AMBS) Network.
She posted an article on her social media account that included her false assertion.
“Once and For All. No, it is not true. There has been no communication whatsoever between myself and anyone officially representing former Senator and tycoon Manny Villar’s supposed new network,” Korina explained.
She was surprised when others approached her and asked for jobs after this post was published online.
She continued, “I was not aware of the news circulating. My press agent called and said I needed to issue a statement. I said, ‘Huway? About huwat? ’Anyway, I did a short one. Seems it wasnt enough.
“So here, irrefutably:
1. Im thrilled to be called a “fab hunter”.
2. Im a Lara Croft in many ways but I hardly ever ‘raid’. And, in this case, I havent ‘raided’ any workforce to try and pirate people to work for the Villar network, or any other network,” she posted.
She allegedly contacted her pals Cheryl Favila and Maricar Asprec once to inquire who didn’t have employment for her TV5 and A2Z show “Rated Korina.”
Korina emphasizes, “Cheryl and Maricar are not‘ helping me pirate people ’. Chair is lucratively freelance as she is”
“I have not given any interviews about working with the Villar channel. I’m not sure where the quotes are coming from. But it is true that the heads of all these networks are friends to me, and me to them.”
She added that, while this is not true, she is willing to work with television networks.
Korina said, “I am a broadcaster and journalist and creative mind at heart. It is what I do best, I think. I produce my own shows now. So, whenever and wherever I am welcome, and there is an opportunity, I will listen and possibly collaborate. I am very happy being in TV5 and A2Z as a line producer via Brightlight,”
She added, “So, again, yes Id like to think Im a ‘fab hunter’. But, no, Im not headhunting for the Villar Network.”
