Cristy Fermin Suspended
Cristy Fermin has been suspended by ABS-CBN from appearing in her television program, The Buzz and from her radio program in DZMM, also owned by ABS-CBN. ABS-CBN deemed that Cristy Fermin violated provisions of her contract with her remarks against Nadia Montenegro in The Buzz on October 5, 2008. ABS-CBN also cited that Cristy Fermin’s actions also brought damage not only to her reputation and credibility but also that of The Buzz and ABS-CBN. Here is the complete statement of ABS-CBN with regard to the suspension of Cristy Fermin:
“Ang kontrata ni Ms. Cristy Fermin bilang host ng The Buzz sa ABS-CBN Channel 2 at anchorperson ng Showbiz Mismo sa DZMM ay sinuspinde hanggang December 31, 2008.
Ang suspension ng talent contracts ni Ms. Fermin sa ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation ay may kaugnayan sa mga pahayag niya sa episode ng The Buzz noong October 5, 2008. Ang aksyong ito ni Ms. Fermin ay lumabag sa ilang probisyon ng kanyang kontrata.
Nilabag din ng aksyon ni Ms. Fermin ang mataas na batayan ng propesyonalismo at integridad sa pamamahayag. Ito ay nagdulot ng kapinsalaan hindi lamang sa kanyang pangalan at kredibilidad, kundi sa programang The Buzz at ABS-CBN.”
