Columnist Lolit Solis claimed that TV5 never made an offer to Kapamilya top stars, Vice Ganda and Coco Martin.
In an Instagram post, Solis said that Perci Intalan, the head of Entertainment of TV5 denied the news that they’re trying to invite Vice Ganda and Coco Martin to work for their network.
It can be remembered that TV5 announced that they’re going to revive its entertainment content.
The camp of Vice Ganda has been long rumored to be negotiating with TV5 while there’s also some information circulating the Coco Martin’s Ang Probinsiyano would be aired via cable company Cignal.
“Nakakaloka naman na sinabi ng TV5 na wala silang alok kay Coco Martin at Vice Ganda, Salve. Kalat na kalat kasi nuon una na baka sa TV5 gumawa ng bagong programa si Vice Ganda, at iyon Probinsiyano daw baka mapanuod sa Cignal, pero heto, pinabulaan ni Perci Intalan na siyang namamahala ng programming ng TV5,” Solis said.
Solis described the denial of Instalan as a ‘big slap’.
“Parang isang malaking sampal naman na nasabi na walang alok ang istasyon sa 2 Kapamilya stars, para siguro mahinto na iyon kumakalat na balita na inalok at tinanggihan daw ang alok. So klaro, walang alok , at walang balak alukin. Pero ang tutoo, wide open sila para sa gusto pumasok sa bakuran nila,” she said.
Vice Ganda previously denied his possible transfer to TV5, contradicting the statement of some sources, while Coco Martin remained silent on the rumors.
Meanwhile, TV5 and Cignal TV CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan said that they’re ready to hire talents from Kapamilya Network after the said broadcasting giant failed to get a 25-year franchise extension from the Congress.
“We are revving up our entertainment content creation and will need creatives, talents, directors, scriptwriters, cameramen, etc.,” Pangilinan said.
