ABS-CBN Corporation announced a retrenchment program affecting approximately 200 employees, representing roughly 7% of its workforce.
In an official statement issued by ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, the media group attributed the difficult decision to ongoing economic pressures impacting the broader content industry. Key headwinds including inflation, sluggish economic growth, and global conflicts have weakened advertising revenue and reduced overall consumer spending. While recent strategic investments have provided a vote of confidence in the network’s long-term trajectory toward becoming a global storytelling platform, management emphasized that structural adjustments were required to maintain financial stability.

ABS-CBN expressed deep gratitude to its employees for their dedication, service, and contributions to Filipino audiences worldwide as it continues navigating its recovery journey.
