'SORRY' NOT ENOUGH | Pangasinan says ABS-CBN must repair damage from 'flesh-eating disease' story
ABS-CBN, Bandila February 28, 2014
‘Bandila’ apologizes for “mysterious flesh-eating” report on Pangasinan
Late news program Bandila has released its official statement for their "mysterious flesh-eating disease" report on Pangasinan which caused unintended panic among viewers especially in the region of Pangasinan.
"Humihingi ang Bandila ng paumanhin kung ang ulat namin tungkol sa dalawang magkaibigang kaso ng sakit sa balat ay nagdulot ng takot o pangamba lalo na sa lalawigan ng Pangasinan," the statement said.
The ABS-CBN Office of the Network Ombudsman is already doing its investigation and will take appropriate actions based on its findings according to the statement.
"Iniimbestigahan na ngayon ng ABS-CBN Office of the Network Ombudsman (ONO) ang mga pangyayari sa likod ng naturang ulat. Sisiguraduhin ng ABS-CBN News na magpapatupad ito ng karampatang aksyon ayon sa resulta ng imberstigasyon ng ONO."
The Department of Health cleared up last Tuesday on Bandila that no "mysterious-disease" is spreading in Pangasinan. DOH clarified that the two cases of “flesh-eating disease” reported by the news program on Monday night was actually caused by leprosy while the second one was a case of psoriasis.

FLESH-EATING ILLNESS' IN PANGASINAN
May ilang tao na may misteryosong sakit ngayon sa Pangasinan. Isang sakit na tila kumakain umano ng balat at laman ng tao. Babala sa mga manonood, sensitibo ang bidyong inyong makikita. Magba-Bandila si Jasmin Romero.
