Former ABS-CBN Worker Shares Experience w/ Company & Exposes Alleged Dark Secrets of Network
A former ABS-CBN worker identified as Jamaelbin Ezrah Nogot has exposed the alleged dark and dirty secrets of the Kapamilya network.
Over the past few days, ABS-CBN has been one of the most controversial and most discussed topics online after it goes off air. The network’s operation has been suspended after its franchise expired last May 4, 2020.
A lot of celebrities, network workers, and even ordinary Filipino netizens have expressed their reactions regarding the closure of the giant media company. Some of them even made shocking revelations.
Jam Nogot made her shocking revelations against the news outlet, which was primarily addressed to ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak and Chairman Mark Lopez. The post contains her experience working with the network.
The ex-employee said that everything is fine since she started to work as a road manager and assistant talent coordinator. She has been also absorbed and become a regular employee of the network with complete benefits.
Nogot starts to experience a problem when she begins to work for the drama series “Wildflower” starring Maja Salvador under “Dreamscape”.
Here is the full post:
“THIS IS ADDRESSED TO MR. CARLO KATIGBAK,PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ABS-CBN AND MR. MARK LOPEZ, CHAIRMAN OF ABS-CBN..
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM IF I WAS AN IJM EMPLOYEE TO VALIDATE MY CLAIMS THEN YOU CAN CHECK THE SYSTEM AND PEOPLE I WORKED WITH BEFORE…
I STARTED WORKING IN ABS-CBN AS ROAD MANAGER OF TV IDOLS AND AT THE SAME TIME I WORKED AS AN ASSISTANT TALENT COORDINATOR IN WOWOWEE AND SEVERAL GAME SHOWS OF ABS-CBN FOR FEW YEARS.BUT, IN YEAR 2008, MY IJM STATUS WAS GRANTED TO ME MEANING ABS-CBN ABSORBED ME AS THEIR EMPLOYEE AND PAYS ME DIRECTLY AS TALENT COORDINATOR AND WITH BENEFITS…I STILL HAVE MY PAYSLIPS,ABS-CBN IJM ID,CONTRACTS, ETC.!
I WAS A PRODUCT OF NOONTIME SHOWS AND GAMESHOWS!
I ALSO WORKED FOR TALK SHOW LIKE ” RUFFA AND AI ” WITH TV HOSTS RUFFA G. AND AI-AI DELAS ALAS !
MOVING FORWARD,I GOT ENGAGED TO DRAMA OR TELESERYE ANG MY FIRST TELESERYE WAS “AGUA BENDITA” STARRING XYRIEL MANABAT AND ANDI EIGENMANN…
MS. BEA GOMEZ,HR OFFICER HANDLED MY ACCOUNT AND THEN TO MS. RACHEL FERRER,HR OFFICER, AND THEN TO MR. EMMEL JOSEPH MURRAY,HR OFFICER…ALL OF THEM LEFT ABS-CBN!
I DIDN’T ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM WITH MY IJM STATUS WHILE I HAD SHOWS WITH LMD UNIT (LAURENTE M. DYOGI UNIT)/(LINGGIT TAN UNIT), AND WITH RSB UNIT (RUEL S. BAYANI UNIT). THEY HONORED MY IJM STATUS!
I STARTED TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I WAS IN “WILDFLOWER SHOW” STARRING MAJA SALVADOR!
Jayson Aracap Tabigue or “AMOR” (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THE SAID SHOW) DIDN’T WANT TO PAY MY IJM RATE AND BENEFITS AFTER MANY MONTHS OF TAPING. HE CALLED MY ATTENTION FOR ONE ON ONE LOCKED DOOR MEETING AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH ME! I WAS SURPRISED AND DIDN’T AGGREE WITH WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND I DIDN’T FEEL RIGHT! I DISPUTED FOR MY RIGHTS AND ESCALATED MY CONCERN TO THE HR AND MR. EMMEL JOSEPH MURRAY HANDLED THE ISSUE AND WE HAD A HEARING…TO CUT THE STORY SHORT, I WON THE CASE AND Jayson Aracap Tabigue WAS VERY OFFENDED SINCE I WAS THE ONLY AND FIRST PERSON IN HIS ENTIRE SHOWBIZ CAREER WHO FILED A COMPLAIN AGAINST HIM! MR. DIGO RICIO, WHO WAS OUR PRODUCTION DESIGNER IN THE SAID SHOW WAS ALSO MAD AT ME FOR ESCALATING THIS PROBLEM TO HR! I ALREADY INFORMED HIM ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DEFEND ME BUT HE DIDN’T…SINCE I WON THE CASE AND TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, MR. TABIGUE REQUESTED TO PROCESS MY BACKPAYMENTS AND PAYS ME ACCORDING TO MY IJM RATE OR TALENT FEE PER TAPING.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
SINCE THEY WERE MAD AT ME ,I LOST THE SHOW IN JUST BLINK OF AN EYE! I DIDN’T HAVE CALLTIME ANYMORE IN “WILDFLOWER”.! THAT’S HOW BAD THEY WORK!
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
“GOD IS GOOD”! GOD NEVER ABANDONED ME! HE GRACED ME WITH A NEW SHOW ENTITLED “LANGIT LUPA” STARRING YAM CONCEPCION,ELLEN ADARNA,JASON ABALOS,PATRICK GARCIA,AND THE 2 LEAD KIDS.
DID YOU KNOW THAT I DIDN’T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY PRODUCERS ABOUT MY IJM STATUS AND IJM RATE IN “LANGIT LUPA” SHOW? THEY PAID MY IJM RATE AND BENEFITS EVEN IF I WAS HIRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW.
CONSIDERING THAT TUBIG AT LANGIS, WILDFLOWER, AND LANGIT LUPA SHOWS WERE UNDER RSB UNIT (RUEL SANTOS BAYANI UNIT), BUT WHY I ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM WITH MY IJM STATUS IN WILDFLOWER? WHY MY PRODUCERS IN TUBIG AT LANGIS AND LANGIT LUPA PAID MY IJM RATE AND BENEFITS?
IS THERE ANY POLITICS IN “WILDFLOWER” SHOW?
MOVING FORWARD, WHEN “LANGIT LUPA” SHOW ENDED,I GOT AN OFFER FROM DREAMCAPE (DEO ENDRINAL UNIT) TO DO “THE GOOD SON” SHOW.
PROBLEM CAME UP ONCE AGAIN!
IT WAS A LOT OF WORST! I WAS SHATTERED!
I WAS HELPLESS!
WHY DREAMSCAPE PRODUCTION TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME?
WHY DID ERICK SALUD(BUSINESS UNIT HEAD,ARNEL NACARIO(PRODUCTION MANAGER),LHEN MARTINEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, AND TIN VIDAL (HR OFFICER) TOOK MY IJM STATUS,ALL MY BENEFITS, AND IMPOSED A DEDUCTION TO MY STANDARD RATE?
TAMA PO BA NA BAWASAN ANG SAHOD KO PER TAPING DAY?
I HAVE BEEN WITH 3 HR OFFICERS WHO VALUED AND HONORED MY IJM STATUS BUT WHY TIN VIDAL TREATED ME WITH NO JUSTICE ?
FROM RSB (RUEL SANTOS BAYANI) UNIT, I GOT AN OFFER FROM DREAMSCAPE (DEO ENDRINAL UNIT)! I ACCEPTED THE SHOW “THE GOOD SON” STARRING JOSHUA GARCIA,McCoy DE LEON,NASH AGUAS ,AND JEROME PONCE! BEFORE I STARTED TO WORK FOR THE SHOW ,I ALREADY INFORMED THE PRODUCERS THAT I CAME FROM RSB UNIT AND I WAS AN IJM EMPLOYEE WITH STANDARD TAPING RATE AND BENEFITS AND PRODUCERS SAID “OKAY” ‘COZ IT WILL REFLECT IN THE SYSTEM….TO CUT THE STORY SHORT, WE HAD TAPINGS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL ONE DAY,MY ATTENTION WAS CALLED AGAIN FOR “ANOTHER CLOSED DOOR MEETING”!
THIS ONE WAS DIFFERENT AND MUCH WORST! FOUR EXECUTIVES IN PRESENCE AND MORE BEHIND AGAINST ME ALONE!
THEY DISCUSSED WITH ME TO TERMINATE MY IJM STATUS FOR NO GOOD REASONS MEANING THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR MY SSS,PHILHEALTH,PAG-IBIG,MAXICARE,NO MORE MID YEAR AND DECEMBER BONUSES OR ANY ANY FORM OF BONUS, GIFT CHECKS,SUPPLY OF SACK OF RICE,ETC.
AND THE WORST ABOVE ALL IS TO REDUCE MY TAPING RATE FROM STANDARD IJM RATE OR SALARY!
PARA DAW MAGING PATAS SA IBANG MGA WARDROBE LIKE GLORIA AND EVERYONE ELSE!
IT’S A TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT OFFER!
BUT WHY?
I WORKED VERY HARD TO BECOME AN IJM EMPLOYEE! I SUBMITTED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFIED THE EXAM AND INTERVIEWS.
LMD (LAURENTE M. DYOGI), LINGGIT TAN AND RSB (RUEL S. BAYANI) UNITS HONORED MT IJM STATUS!
IS THERE ANY POLITICS?
WHAT DID I DO TO TERMINATE MY IJM STATUS?
IS THERE ANY JUSTICE?
I WORKED FOR ABS-CBN FOR MANY YEARS AND TO BE EXACT SINCE 2005 AND MY IJM STATUS WAS GRANTED TO ME IN YEAR 2008 AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE FIRST 2 DIGITS IN MY ID.
DIR. ERICK SALUD ( BUSINESS UNIT HEAD), ARNEL NACARIO (PRODUCTION MANAGER), A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE LHENN MARTINEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER), AND DEAREST TIN VIDAL (HR OFFICER)…YOU KNOW WE WILL NEVER FORGET ONE ANOTHER!
AND WHOEVER BEHIND THIS!
PLEASE LIKE,COMMENT, AND SHARE MY POST! EVERY FILIPINO DESERVES THE TRUTH!
THIS IS NOT ONLY FOR MY JUSTICE BUT FOR EVERY FILIPINO!
I PROTECT OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR PRESIDENT DUTERTE!”
