The Kapambansa Network remains impulsive and counter-productive when it comes to alternative television programming. With influence of the Government, the continuity of programming will like commercial networks. This would be the masses that will just give us apathy and this is why the Philippine Star omitted the network from their TV Guide and the Manila Bulletin informed.

The most State-Owned Networks in the country not only for government programming for news and pulic affairs, cultural and educational, and sports [programs but also for general entertainment programming such as the drama series Pilipinas Kung Mahal, Noli Me Tangere and May Katwiran Ipaglaban Mo! as well as the Koreanovela programs which will aired Here on this channel.

Channel 4 claimed that they will air it on weekdays this month, said Atty JJ Atienza, PTV’s legal expert witnessed the signing of a contract. PTV has some restrictive internal programming policy in allow theentertainment programming, which contradicts their promise to air Koreanovelas as what the news item said, to avoid direct competition.

PTV has money moolah. So far, PTV needs enough capital stock beginning our national budget. They need more cash to pay fees, overdue bills and settle liabilities.
