Cliff Gingco, the news and current affairs program manager of TV5 who was embroiled in a sexual harassment complaint as filed by a talent of the network, has been sacked.
This was made public through Senator Raffy Tulfo’s service-oriented program's Facebook page, recently.
According to the post, it was TV5 chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan who personally informed the senator of Cliff's dismissal.
"Personal na nakipag-ugnayan si TV5 Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan kay Sen. Idol Raffy Tulfo para ibalita na tapos na ang ginawang imbestigasyon ng network hinggil sa reklamong pangmomolestiya ni Cliff Gingco, program manager ng TV5 News and Public Affairs, sa isang baguhang talent,” read the statement.
“At lumitaw sa imbestigasyon na may matibay na basehan ang reklamo laban kay Gingco, kaya nagdesisyon ang TV5 na tanggalin siya sa trabaho,” it added.
The statement also stated the network will provide medical assistance, among others, for the victim.
The network will also extend assistance preparing criminal charges against Cliff.
