Recently, Senator Raffy warned that his program would leave TV5 if the management would not act on the complaint of one of its employees, referred to as “talent” by Sen. Raffy in his program. The said “talent” sought the help of the legislator after allegedly being molested by News and Public Affairs program manager Cliff Gingco. Sen. Raffy angrily expressed his sentiments on his program, “Wanted sa Radio,” after hearing the narration of the alleged victim about the s3xual abuse he experienced. The legislator was dismayed after learning that the management warned Gingco against speaking about the issue. Senator Raffy, on his show, then announced he’s ready to resign in his program on TV5 if that is what would take to bring justice to the victim.
