COMPANY PROFILE

Mission-Vision What makes an organization unique is its culture. The same is true for us in

ABSCBN. Our core values, reflected in our culture and the way we serve the Filipino, set

us apart from other organizations. For us in ABS-CBN, our core values serve as our

anchor and guidepost. They keep us grounded and remind us of the things that matter

more than ratings, revenues, and profits. They guide us in our decision-

making and direct our choices and actions.

Our core values, with clearly articulated behavioral indicators, define what the

ABS-CBN culture is and what kind of people would thrive in our organization. ABS-CBN

CEO & President, Ms. Charo Santos-Concio, has beautifully encapsulated the essence

of our culture and our people when she said, "ABS seeks that person whose core

mission in life is to be of service to his countrymen. ABS seeks that person that does not

need the limelight but seeks only the reward of giving to his Filipino brethren and can put

what is good for the customer, what is good for the company, ahead of himself. ABS

seeks that person who will do what it takes to give his fellow Filipino the wonderful world

he needs and in so doing, discovers his own wonderful world – a world where he sees

the greater meaning in all the things he does."

Indeed, in ABS-CBN, we live to serve. And we serve best when we embody our

core values of Excellence, Teamwork, Teaching & Learning, Honesty & Integrity,

Meritocracy, and Service Orientation.

History

At that time, the largest media company was Manila Broadcasting, with DZRH as

the leading radio station. In 1949, James Lindenberg shifted Bolinao to radio

broadcasting with DZBC and masterminded the introduction of television to the country

in 1953. In 1951, Lindenberg partnered with Antonio Quirino, brother of the Philippine

President Elpidio Quirino, in order to try their hand at television broadcasting. In 1952,

BEC was renamed as Alto Broadcasting System or ABS. "Alto" was a contraction of

Quirino’s and his wife’s first names, Tony and Aleli. Though they had little money and

resources, ABS was able to put up its TV tower by July 1953 and import 300 television

sets. The initial test broadcasts began on September of the same year. The very first

full-blown broadcast, however, was on 23 October 1953, of a party in Tony Quirino's

home.

The television station was known as DZAQ-TV. Merger In turn, on September 24,

1956, the Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN) was organized. The network was

owned by Don Eugenio Lopez, Sr. and the then Philippine Vice President Fernando

Lopez. The following year, Don Eugenio acquired ABS from Quirino and Lindenberg.

However, it was only on 1 February 1967 that the corporate name was changed to ABS-

CBN Broadcasting Corporation (before it was named ABS-CBN Broadcasting

Corporation, the name was reverted back to the precursor of the network, Bolinao

Electronics Corporation or BEC).

In 1958 the network's new headquarters at Roxas Boulevard was inaugurated,

and all radio and television operations were consolidated into its two buildings, the radio

stations at the Chronicle Building at Aduana Street, Intramuros, Manila, and the TV

operations at the brand new Roxas Boulevard building in Pasay City. In the late 1950s,

Don Eugenio's son, Geny Lopez saw the potential of TV to reach and link Filipinos

across the archipelago. By the mid-1960s, the ABS network was leading the radio

industry, with stations like DZXL and DZAQ Radyo Patrol, which featured journalists like

Ernie Baron, Bong Lapira, Orly Mercado, Joe Taruc, Mario Garcia, Bobby Guanzon, and

Rey Langit. ABS also made breakthroughs in the TV industry by achieving the country's

first color TV broadcast, first satellite feed, and first use of videotape, among others. It

featured top shows then, such as Your Evening with Pilita and Tawag ng Tanghalan, the

country's first comedy show Buhay Artista, first Philippine gameshow, What's My Living

and the first noontime show Student Canteen, among others.

On June 14, 1961, Eugenio Lopez, Jr. built the first provincial TV station in Cebu

airing 4 hours with the tallest tower (in that time) in Cebu measuring 216 feet. Two years

later, the network's first test color broadcasts began. Color broadcasts started in

November 1966, the first in the Philippines and Southeast Asia as the network was

tagged as the First in Color Television, with full color broadcasting beginning in 1971 at

all national television stations. On December 18, 1968, ABS-CBN opened its new

Broadcast Center on Bohol Avenue, Quezon City, where it still stands today. At the time,

it was the most advanced facility of its kind in Asia. The station again made

breakthroughs by using the first live satellite transmissions from abroad, foremost of

which was the first moon landing in 1969 and in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico

the year before. The network enjoyed a big portion of the ratings and won various

awards and recognitions from different organizations.

In 1970, the network owned and operated 2 national television networks and 12

regional television stations, 6 national radio and 15 regional radio stations nationwide.

Martial law era The station suffered a setback upon the declaration of martial law. On

midnight of 22 September 1972, a day after the declaration of Martial Law, ABS-CBN

and its affiliate stations were seized. Geny Lopez, the president of the company, was

imprisoned and held without trial for five years until he and his cellmate Sergio Osmeña

III launched a daring jailbreak in 1977 and sought asylum in the United States. The

network itself was taken over by Roberto Benedicto, a presidential crony, who used the

Broadcasting Center at Bohol Avenue, then renamed as "Broadcast Plaza", as the home

of MBS-4. Channel 2 would later be relaunched as the BBC-2, with a completely new

logo, slogan and a theme song from Jose Mari Chan entitled "Big Beautiful Country" and

sung by various artists. BBC-2 later moved to new headquarters in Broadcast City (also

in Diliman, Quezon City) in 1978. Capture of Broadcast Plaza (MBS-4) At the height of

the People Power Revolution, military reformists, believing that television would be a

powerful tool to aid the revolution, attacked and took over the ABS-CBN Broadcasting

Center.

On 24 February 1986, former ABS-CBN talents put the station back on the air

and televised the drama of the unfolding uprising, thereby contributing to the strength of

the revolt. Growth On 28 February 1986, after the Revolution, Geny Lopez returned to

the country after self-exile in the United States and started rebuilding from what was left

of the station. Recovery was difficult and resources were low, hence, former ABS-CBN

employee Freddie M. García was brought in to rework the station's programming. By

1988, ABS-CBN had regained its foothold in Philippine TV ratings. On 1 March 1987,

Channel 2 was relaunched with the live musical special, The Star Network: Ang

Pagbabalík Ng Bituin (The Return of the Star) which noted for the then-brand-new

numerical white tri-ribbon channel 2 logo with a white rhombidal star (from 1988 to 1992

the ribbons were tri-coloured in red, green and blue) as a centrepiece of the network's

revival. Within the year, ABS-CBN also beefed up its news programmes with TV Patrol,

anchored by a team of newsreaders composed of now former Vice-President Noli de

Castro, Mel Tiangco, Frankie Evangelista, and Angelique Lazo, with the late Ernie Baron

telling the daily weather forecast. Other reputable news programmes followed, such as

Magandang Gabi, Bayan and Hoy Gising!.

The entertainment programmes of ABS-CBN were also revamped with series

that previously aired on RPN-9 and IBC-13: (Eat Bulaga!, Okey Ka Fairy Ko!, The

Sharon Cuneta Show, Coney Reyes on Camera) while producing original content (The

Maricel Soriano Drama Special, Palibhasa Lalake, Home Along Da Riles). Another

feature of its return to the top of the ratings is the introduction of the live-action sentai

and tokusatsu show formats (with Bioman and Shaider) to Philippine television. Filipino-

dubbed anime programmes, another network and Philippine television first, would only

begin in the transition to the 1990s. In 1989, ABS-CBN shifted to satellite broadcast,

enabling the entire country to watch the same programmes simultaneously. This was

also the very year when the network began international broadcasts to Guam and

Saipan, Northern Marianas, also via satellite, yet another first for Philippine and Asian

television. Slowly, the station inched its way to financial recovery, which it achieved by

1990, regularly garnering around 70% of the market. According to their website, they

reach 97% of all households in the country and provide content for Studio 23 on UHF

and for 9 cable channels.

On 27 May 2010, the conglomerate dropped the word "Broadcasting" from its

corporate name. According to Eugenio Lopez III "it is a response to the changes in the

media landscape brought about by technology. The media business has gone beyond

merely broadcasting to encompass other platforms.” Expansion Aside from its flagship

broadcast television network ABS-CBN, the company broadcasts to many Filipino

expatriates around the world through The Filipino Channel. The company has also

diversified into film production (ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc.), music production (Star

Recording, Inc.), visual effects (Roadrunner Network, Inc.) print publication (ABS-CBN

Publishing, Inc.), and new media (ABS-CBN Interactive). In August 2008, it inked a deal

with Sorensen Pacific Broadcasting to broadcast its news and entertainment programs

to its television and radio broadcasting properties in Guam and Northern Mariana

Islands. In 2007, Myx TV, a premium television network was launched in the United

States. The network caters to the Asian-American youth community in the United States

with the primary focus on playing music videos from different artists, genres, and

countries.

Years later, a men-focused channel was added to its rosters of international

networks. In 1996, ABS-CBN introduced its second broadcast television network Studio

23 as well as the cable channels Myx (music), ABS-CBN News Channel (news), Cinema

One (movie), the Lifestyle Network (home and lifestyle), Kapamilya Channel (regionally

produced shows.), Hero (Tagalog dubbed anime), DZMM TeleRadyo (interactive news)

and Knowledge Channel (educational). In the first quarter of 2008 three additional cable

channels were added namely Balls (sports), Velvet (women-oriented) and the now

defunct Maxxx (men-oriented). The network's radio stations include DZMM Radyo Patrol

630 (630 kHz AM-Manila), Tambayan 101.9 (DWRR 101.9 kHz FM-Manila), and

regional FM stations under the brand My Only Radio For Life!. ABS-CBN has

established regional stations and news bureaus to handle operations in different areas

throughout the Philippines and throughout the world. ABS-CBN Global Ltd., a division of

ABS-CBN that is responsible for overseeing all of its international assets has offices and

news bureaus throughout the world. ABS-CBN International, one of the largest

international subsidiary of ABS-CBN is based in Redwood City, California.

In 2008, a broadcasting and studio facility in Redwood City, California was built

to further expand their programming and technical capabilities. In the same year, San

Francisco International Gateway, a teleport company and a subsidiary of ABS-CBN that

was incorporated in Richmond, California started to operate. SFIG provides teleport

services through its 2.5 acre facilities which consist of 19 satellite dishes and 9 modular

equipment buildings. ABS-CBN affirms its social responsibility with its slogan, "In the

Service of the Filipino", and through the work of ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc.. Through

media, the foundation has delivered E-TV (Educational Television) DVDs to hundreds of

public schools in the country that benefitted students. The foundation is also the

umbrella organization of such foundations such as the Knowledge Channel (KCh)

Foundation, Bantay Bata (Children's Watch), Bantay Kalikasan (Environment Watch),

and ABS-CBN Bayan Foundation (formerly, ABS-CBN Bayan MicroFinance).

Geny Lopez died of a heart attack and cancer on 29 June 1999 in West Avenue

Medical Center in Quezon City. This happened on the same year when the network

inaugurated its Millennium Transmitter in the corporation grounds, resulting in a more

clear signal for its television and radio stations nationwide, and put up its own grand New

Year's Day broadcast for the year 2000 in 3 simultaneous locations. The Kapamilya

network In 2003, during the television station's 50th anniversary, ABS-CBN launched its

present brand name, "Kapamilya" (literally means "a member of the family"). Its

international unit ABS-CBN Global Ltd. plans to undertake an initial public offering (IPO)

the following year and might list on the Singapore Stock Exchange to help finance its

expansion plans. The network celebrated its golden anniversary in 2003. The network

held its Kapamilya Homecoming, which gathered over 4,000 former employees and

talents for a grand reunion at ABS-CBN’s compound in Bohol Avenue, Quezon City. The

network also launched a promo called "Treasure Hunt", where the people were invited to

bring their oldest television, radio sets, microphones, and posters. The network also

celebrated its 16th year reign in the TV ratings, with 13 of their shows included in the

Top 15 daily programs in TV.

ABS-CBN also launched new shows such as the then phenomenal Meteor

Garden etc. The company also did a nationwide caravan, showcasing the network's

talents. In October 2003, the network held a month-long celebration of ABS-CBN and

Philippine TV's 50th year. The station produced two commemorative documentaries

about the station's contribution in news and entertainment. Sa Mata ng Balita

encapsulated some of the most unforgettable, most remarkable, and most celebrated

landmarks of the last 50 years as captured by television news. 50 Taong Ligawan: The

Pinoy TV History, on the other hand, was the first extensive television documentary done

about the history of Philippine Television and the evolution of Philippine entertainment.

For the celebration's finale, the broadcasting giant capped its 50th anniversary with a

spectacular extravaganza dubbed as Kapamilya: ABS-CBN at 50, held at the Philippine

International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City. It was hailed as one of the biggest

media events of the year. The Lopez-led network rolled out the red carpet to welcome its

high-profile guests from the business, advertising and media sectors, politics, members

of the diplomatic community, with many of the society’s luminaries and glitterati. Valued

friends and supporters of the network throughout the five decades also attended the

grand affair. The network's official 50 Years station id won an Award for Excellence in

the 2004 Golden Quill Festival.

Recent Developments In 2008, The Wall Street Journal Asia ranked ABS-CBN

as the 7th most admired company of the Philippines; being the only media company

included on the list, the company also received the Innovation Award for its innovation in

internet TV with its TFC Now! service. In 2008, ABS-CBN celebrated their 55th year in

television. For the first time, ABS-CBN started the year by launching three primetime

shows namely Lobo, Palos and Kung Fu Kids. A new station ID entitled "Beyond

Television" was launched, the new TV plug depicts the growth of ABS-CBN from a small

television network that started in 1953 into a media conglomerate that has businesses

beyond television.

On April 26, 2009, ABS-CBN is the only media company to be cited as one of the

country's top 15 listed companies in corporate governance, as shown by an annual

survey of the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD). It was the only media company to

garner a score of 90 percent or higher in the 2008 Corporate Governance Scorecard, a

survey of corporate governance practices among 172 publicly listed companies in the

country. During the historic 2010 Philippine presidential election, in response to the first

automation of the election in the country, ABS-CBN utilized a technology from Orad Hi

Tech Systems Ltd. that utilizes the principles of augmented reality.[19] The technology

uses real-time image processing system for live broadcasts of 3D computer-generated

imagery against a real set or background. ABS-CBN also used what is probably the

biggest touch screen display ever used in a Philippine television show as well as a huge

WAR (Wireless Audience Response) room that is specifically designed for the election

coverage. The coverage of ABS-CBN became the third top trending topic worldwide on

the social networking site Twitter.

On June 17, 2011, the conglomerate announced the construction of a state-of-

the-art sound stage facility for a cost of 6 billion pesos. A 15 hectare lot in San Jose del

Monte, Bulacan was acquired later that year for 75 million pesos. The facility will be

comprised by six sound stages and a back lot. The first sound stage is expected to be

completed by 2012. On December 19, 2011, ABS-CBN Corporation acquired the

patented weather forecasting system from Weather Central, LP, a United States-based

company. On January 1, 2013, Charo Santos-Concio was appointed as the new chief

executive officer of the company taking over Gabby Lopez. Lopez remains the chairman

of the company.
