Philippine Political News
As the Philippine second most powerful network ABS-CBN is under threat to be shutdown by the government, President Duterte was seen in a huddle with well known journalists of it's rival network - the GMA 7.
President Duterte was seen present at the wedding ceremony of the Kapuso network's tv reporters Cedric Castillo and Rida Reyes last Saturday of February 22 in Antipolo city.
Several photos were posted by former GMA News reporter Steve Dalisan on Facebook that shows Duterte in a huddle with Mel Tiangco, Vicky Morales, John Consulta and JP Soriano.
The posted photos of the President possing with journalists of GMA 7 raised speculations that it was a way of the President Duterte to mock ABS-CBN as he makes his move to close down the Network for good.
President Duterte may be firm on his decision to do whatever it takes to close ABS-CBN but it doesn't mean that he favors GMA 7 being it's rival network. GMA 7 is also highly critical against the president particularly on the issue of "Tokhang" or the war against illegal drugs. But it was obvious that the President doesn't give a damn because in comparison, GMA has been more fair and accurate on their news unlike ABS-CBN which carried their news on a pretty much exaggerated and somewhat misleading ways
