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
Quirinos and his wifes 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 ABSCBN 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 Osmea 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.
Garca 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 Pagbabalk 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 tricoloured 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), ABSCBN 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-CBNs 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 highprofile guests from the business, advertising and media sectors, politics, members of the
diplomatic community, with many of the societys 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.

problems. It is also because of the new equipment of the station.
