PRESS Secretary Rose Beatrix "Trixie" Cruz-Angeles believes that the dropping of the joint venture between rivaling networks ABS-CBN and TV5 is a welcome development for People's Television (PTV) and Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC), two government-owned networks.

"In a very small part of my head, I tell myself, at least this could give PTV and IBC a chance to grow, because competition is reduced, so we just need to strengthen the two channels," Cruz-Angeles said during the budget deliberations for the Office of the Press Secretary (OPS) at the House of Representatives on Friday.
