Calida said the TV network accepted foreign investment through documents called Philippine Deposit Receipts that were issued by a holding company in violation of the constitutional ban. ABS-CBN said Calida's allegations were baseless and that it has complied with Philippine laws and secured permits to run its broadcast operations.
