MANILA — ABS-CBN journalists were never instructed to "play partisan politics" in their news coverage, the company's former reporter told lawmakers on Monday, as the network sought to disprove allegations of "biased reporting" in its application for a fresh 25-year broadcast franchise before Congress.

"This much I know for certain: that for 15 years that I've served in ABS-CBN News... as a Malacañang reporter, House correspondent, desk editor, news anchor, and producer, we, and I speak for the news division, have never been instructed to play favorites nor to slant stories in favor or against anyone, nor to play partisan politics," Inocencio said.

"We exercise our duty as broadcast journalists based on the ethical standards and responsibilities expected of a professional journalist who [is] sworn to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, to remain impartial, to air both sides as much as possible and as available, and to be fair and balanced in our reporting," the former ABS-CBN journalist said.

Inocencio said she could vouch for Reyes' integrity, having worked with her during her 15-year stint with the network.
