After ABS-CBN’s civil case against AGB Nielsen Media Research Philippines has been dismissed, the ratings firm on Tuesday filed before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 216 Judge Ofelia Marquez, a petition to cite the broadcast company in contempt for airing misleading information about the TV ratings manipulation issue.

AGB Nielsen’s legal counsel, Francisco Rivera in a statement said:

“Instead of being accurate in its reporting, the ABS-CBN abused its clout as a broadcaster to engage in an intense media campaign to publicly vilify the petitioner (AGB Nielsen) and gain public sympathy for its cause, evidently to advance its private interest as litigant.”
