Naglabas din ng pahayag ang TV5 pagkatapos maglabas ng statement ng ABS-CBN ngayong Huwebes, December 4, 2025, tungkol sa pagputol ng Kapatid network ng kanilang content partnership dahil sa unpaid shared revenues.
Ayon sa pahayag ng TV5, binibigyang halaga nila ang partnership sa ABS-CBN at ang highly-rated Kapamilya shows na ipinapalabas sa TV5.
Saad sa statement ng TV5: "When ABS-CBN lost its franchise in 2020, TV5 gave them a home.
"When Eat Bulaga! lost its home in 2023, we welcomed them into ours.
"We have always been a Kapatid to anyone in need.
"TV5 recognizes the value of ABS-CBN's well-loved programs to our viewers."
Pero ang hindi raw pagsunod ng ABS-CBN sa napagkasunduang kontrata na magbayad ng revenue shares sa takdang panahon ay nakaapekto sa pagpapasuweldo ng TV5 sa mga empleyado, talents, at partners.
Kahit makailang beses na raw silang umapela, nabigo pa rin ang ABS-CBN na magbayad ng halos isang bilyong pisong revenue share nito.
Saad ng TV5: "However, their failure to meet their financial commitments to us has made it very difficult for us to compensate our own employees, talents, and partners who help deliver these programs to your homes.
"Our Content Agreement with ABS-CBN requires them to remit, on a timely basis, TV5's share of revenues they collect from advertisers.
"These amounts collected, our share being held by ABS-CBN for TV5, has reached such material value as to severely affect TV5's ability to settle its own obligations.
"Despite our repeated appeals, ABS-CBN has failed to pay what is due.
"Neither have they given assurances, nor indicated, that they can or will."
Bilang bahagi ng broadcast industry, naiintindihan daw ng management ng TV5 ang sinapit ng ABS-CBN, lalo na ang pagkawala ng prangkisa nito noong 2020, kaya nagkakaroon ng kahirapan sa pondo.
Pero, may mga kinakaharap din daw na sariling problema ang TV5.
Kailangan daw nila ang nasabing pondo para magpatuloy sila sa kanilang pagbu-broadcast.
"To be clear, we value the partnership with ABS-CBN and, as part of the same industry, we understand ABS-CBN's financial difficulties.
"But TV5 is also faced with its own challenges.
"We need the funds owed to us to continue serving you, our viewers.
"Our leniency, as well as forbearance, must now yield to the realities of this business."
Mensahe ng TV5 sa kanilang viewers: "To you, our viewers, rest assured that we are committed to serving you with the best programming, no matter what ensues from all these issues.
"Nananatili kaming tapat sa inyo, mga KAPATID!"

ABS-CBN on TV5 ENDING THEIR PARTNERSHIP
Naunang naglabas ng pahayag ang ABS-CBN nitong Huwebes ng umaga, December 4, matapos kumalat ang balitang pinuputol na ng TV5 ang kanilang content partnership na dapat sana ay limang taon—o hanggang 2027.
Ipinaliwanag ng Kapamilya network na isa sa dahilan kung bakit nahihirapan sila sa pagbabayad ay ang pagkatigil ng kanilang prangkisa noong 2020.
Dahil daw rito, kinailangan nilang magsimula muli mula sa ibaba at humarap sa kakaibang hamon na noon lamang nila naranasan.
Nangako naman ang ABS-CBN na ginagawa nila ang lahat ng paraan upang tuparin ang kanilang obligasyon sa TV5.
Kung hindi man maiwasang matigil ang pag-ere ng mga programa nila sa TV5, hahanap at hahanap sila ng paraan para maipaabot sa mga manonood ang kanilang contents.
Narito ang buong pahayag ng ABS-CBN:
"We want you to hear this directly from us: ABS-CBN has received notice that our partnership with TV5 may end.
"While we are doing everything we can to resolve this within the short time we've been given, we want to be transparent with you about what's happening.
"Since losing our franchise in 2020—in the midst of a pandemic—we have faced challenges unlike any in our history.
"We've had to rebuild from the ground up, operating at a loss while staying true to our mission.
"These financial constraints are real, but they have never diminished our commitment to you.
"We know we have obligations to fulfill, and we're working as hard as we can to honor them.
"But whatever happens, our service to you will continue.
"We will find ways to reach you, just as we found our way back to you after losing our franchise.
"In the Service of the Filipino is our purpose and we will strive to pursue this no matter the odds. Thank you for believing in us."
