Say a PDR holder of foreign nationality would threaten to unload his billions worth of PDRs if they dont show reruns of palibhasa lalake, and say abs relents, wouldnt that be a degree of management control?

Pure bullshit

Those dividends are representing and equivalent to the ABS-CBN's shares of stocks. Which means it's a shared ownership and management.

ABS-CBN, GMA acted in good faith in issuing PDRs – SECABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak says the company is willing to comply with any new government order concerning Philippine Depositary Receipts or PDRs. So does it jive that persuasions of 'good faith' are invoked in the context of financial and investment instruments, we're self-preservation and self-interest and profits are the objective Former Sec. Abad said Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) was implemented also in 'good faith'. It was later declared ILLEGAL by the Supreme Court. Matapos mabuko sila ng SEC ay yan ang scapegoat nila! Very obvious yung kapalpakan ng SEC at PSE dyan sa PDRs na yan dahil sa akala nila forever na mapapaikot nila ang batas at mga tao! Kung may iba pang dapat i-persecute dyan eh ang SEC na ngayon panay ang hanap ng palusot!
