Manuel V. Pangilinan, Managing Director of First Pacific Company Limited and Chairman of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company on Tuesday announced the appointment of erstwhile TV5 president Ray C. Espinosa as Associate Director of FPC and his new assignment as the Group's Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs and Head of the Communications Bureau, both in the Philippines. Espinosa will also assist the First Pacific Group with respect to new investments in the Philippines and in the region.
Nababalitang matindi pa rin daw ang iringan sa pagitan ng TV5 talent at superstar na si Nora Aunor at ang ABS-CBN president and host-actress na si Charo Santos-Concio. Nag-ugat daw ito sa naging paglahad ni Nora ng kanyang mga saloobin laban sa pinuno ng Kapamilya Station at sa kapatid nitong si Ms. Malou Santos dahil sa "unpleasant working experiences" niya diumano, noong siya'y Kapamilya talent noong dekada '90.
