The Secret Behind the 12-Year Contract: How Kidnapping, Deception, and Collusion Were Exposed That Could Destroy the Entire Philippine Entertainment Industry

Manila, Philippines – The entire nation was in disbelief when Carlo Katigbak , President and CEO of ABS-CBN Corporation, suddenly spoke out about a long-kept secret . The revelation centered on a contract signed by Angel Locsin more than twelve years ago. But according to Katigbak, this was no ordinary agreement—it was part of an elaborate plan that involved kidnapping, deception, and the destruction of careers in the television industry.

The Beginning of the Secret

In 2012, Angel Locsin signed a contract with ABS-CBN that many saw as a simple extension of her career as one of the network’s biggest stars. But according to Katigbak, there were conditions and rules that were never made public.

According to him, the contract contains provisions that restrict Angel’s personal life —including his freedom to choose projects, and even his personal security.

“This is not just any contract,” said Katigbak. “This is an agreement with a price—and that price is too heavy for just one person.”

The Mysterious Kidnapping

The story deepened even further when Katigbak revealed that in 2013, during the height of Angel’s projects, there was a kidnapping incident that was never made public to the media.

According to reports, a close friend of Angel’s suddenly disappeared after a taping. He was not found for several weeks, until he was finally discovered in a safe house in Bulacan.

Surprisingly, the people behind the incident were allegedly related to the same contract . It turns out that the kidnapping was used as a pressure tactic to keep the actress quiet and prevent her from speaking out about the forced terms of the agreement.

Industry Collusion

It didn’t end there. Katigbak also revealed that there were people within the entertainment industry —executives, producers, and some personalities—who knew about the conspiracy but chose to remain silent in exchange for power and money.

“There are names that I can’t mention right now,” Katigbak said. “But I’m sure, if all the evidence is released, many careers will be ended.”

The Impact on Showbiz

If all of this is true, this could be the biggest scandal in the history of the Philippine entertainment industry.

Careers Will Be Ruined – Many artists could be affected due to their direct relationship with Angel’s projects under contract.
Network War – The competition between ABS-CBN and rival networks could potentially get worse, as it will definitely be used against them.
Public Distrust – The public’s trust in the networks, artists, and the entertainment industry itself will be damaged.

Angel Locsin: Quiet But Insinuating

Angel Locsin has remained silent on the issue for now. But some netizens have noticed her cryptic posts on social media—photos with captions like “The truth will set you free” and “Some battles are not meant to be fought in public.”

Many fans believe this is a direct reference to the contract and incidents that occurred in the past.

Insiders’ Statement

Several industry insiders said they had known about the incident for a long time but lacked the courage to speak out. One of them, a former production staff, issued a statement:

“We knew it all along. But there was nothing we could do. There are people more powerful than us. If you speak up, you are out of the industry.”

The Warning

According to lawyers and experts, if Katigbak’s allegations are proven, it could result in major lawsuits against ABS-CBN and other people involved.

But more than that, some experts say this situation could be a turning point for the entire industry—an opportunity to clean up the dirty systems that have existed for so long.

Conclusion

As of now, the story continues to deepen. While there is no clear statement from Angel Locsin, and while others involved are still tight-lipped, only one thing is clear:

Carlo Katigbak’s revelation is not just a simple statement—it’s a bombshell that could shake the foundations of Philippine showbiz.

And the question now: Who will speak next?

 What do you think? If all of this is true, could the entire Philippine showbiz industry collapse over one contract and one kidnapping case?
