From the PBA Office of the CEO on Badua ban
I believe the Commissioner issued the subject order upon a determination that it falls within his office’s prerogative and after weighing various considerations.
At the same time, I understand legal remedies will be pursued by Mr. Chua, if he has not already done so. That should provide both parties the proper venue to resolve this matter between themselves.
We don’t want this situation to deteriorate into something even more emotional and sensitive than it already is by not judiciously approaching it with the best interests of all in mind. Neither do we want it to escalate beyond what was originally intended by such decision.
Let me assure everyone that the PBA fosters no ill will toward our partners in media. The decision was meant solely and plainly to deal with specific acts of one person for reasons stated therein.
