GMA7-TV5 Merger: PLDT in Talks With Banks to Fund the Acquisition
PHILIPPINE LONG Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has begun approaching creditors to prepare for plans to acquire GMA Network, Inc. after already raising funds from an asset sale, a ranking official yesterday said.
“We are talking to our bankers,” PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told reporters in a chance interview.
“We are preparing [funding] in the event that the deal materializes,” Mr. Pangilinan added, referring to ongoing talks to buy into broadcaster GMA Network.
The bulk of the funding, however, will come from PLDT’s cash flow, Mr. Pangilinan said.
Already, PLDT has raised some P4 billion after divesting its 27% stake or 397 million shares in PhilWeb Corp. at P10.70 apiece.

Rest In Peace: Comedy King Dolphy passes away at 83
Philippines' King of Comedy, Rodolfo 'Dolphy' Quizon Sr., passed away shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, his family announced that evening.
"My dad is now with his Creator," Dolphy's son, the actor-director Eric Quizon, said. The elder Quizon had been confined at the Makati Medical Center (MMC) since June 9. He would have turned 84 on July 25. Dad Dolphy is survived by partner Zsa Zsa Padilla and his 18 children.
Just over a week ago, it was reported that Dolphy's health condition had improved considerably. In fact, Quizon said last June 29 that his father already wanted to go home. "Uwi, uwi na tayo [Let's go home]," the already lucid Dolphy mouthed to his family. The veteran actor even asked for orange juice, Quizon said.
A few days ago, Dolphy's family said that the veteran actor's pneumonia was under control. He had underwent another round of dialysis and blood transfusion to boost his immune system.
In its medical bulletin Tuesday night, the MMC said Dolphy died at 8:34 p.m. due to multiple organ failure, secondary to complications brought about by severe pneumonia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and acute renal failure.
