Mystery solved

Remember the ABS-CBN news article about "Takipsilim" that suddenly disappeared? This is belated news, but apparently the story was retracted. That's why the link no longer worked. ABS-CBN had issued an official erratum on December 30.

Could it be they decided to withdraw after the overwhelming opposition to the idea? They probably got wind of Louise's petition campaign against it.

I'm posting the retraction here, in case it too disappears:

On December 24, abs-cbnNEWS.com uploaded a story, "ABS-CBN bags rights for local 'Twilight' remake". The source of the story was a report by entertainment writer Edgar Cruz posted on yehey.com. 

 

The duty editor who uploaded the story failed to check with ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. whether the story was correct and accurate. 

 

ABS-CBN Corp. Communications head Bong Osorio has since denied that the company will do a local remake of the movie, Twilight. 

 

abs-cbnNEWS.com thus decided to remove the article from our website.
