ANG PROBINSYANO – The ABS-CBN and the Department of Interior and Local Government release a joint statement regarding FPJAP vs. PNP issue.

This issue prompted for both parties to have a meeting in order to resolve the issue. PNP Spokesperson Benigno Durana Jr. said based on a previous report, “We believe this collaboration should be beneficial not only to both parties but to the wider public as well.”

Thus, after the meeting, the Kapamilya network and the DILG released a joint statement about the matter.
