MANILA, Philippines - Never take competition for granted. That was the lesson ABS-CBN Chairman and CEO Eugenio "Gabby" Lopez III learned the hard way when his company was overtaken by main rival GMA Network Inc., owned by Felipe "Henry" Gozon, years back. Lopez said the same lesson will guide him as ABS-CBN takes on another fast-growing contender, now Manuel Pangilinan-led TV5. "We went through a period where we got complacent. When we were number one for many, many years, we went through a period of complacency. When Henry woke us up rudely, it was a very difficult time for the network, but fortunately, I believe we've overcome that obstacle," Lopez shared during the 22nd Philippine Advertising Congress in Camarines Sur.
