Senator-Elect Marcoleta runs into ABS-CBN President Karlo Katigbak in an elevator at BGC. Here’s their brief conversation:

Rodante Marcoleta: Well, well, if it isn’t the ghost of channel past! Still broadcasting… online, I see.

ABS-CBN President Karlo Katigbak: Senator Marcoleta! I didn’t realize elevators accept people who cancel dreams.

Marcoleta: Oh please. Dreams? You made more telenovelas than tax payments.

Katigbak: We paid taxes! BIR said so! You just preferred teleseryes with government plot twists.

Marcoleta: Fair. But admit it — ratings soared after I entered the scene. I practically gave you a new storyline.

Katigbak: We called it “The Man Who Cancelled Christmas… and Primetime.”

Marcoleta: You have to admire my range. From blocking franchises to starring in public hearings — peak drama!

Katigbak: You should try acting. You’re great at pretending to listen.

Marcoleta: Touché. But look — the country loves second chances. Even “Ang Probinsyano” had nine lives.

Katigbak: So… reconciliation?

Marcoleta: Maybe. But only if I get a cameo role — Senator by day, frequency wrecker by night.

Katigbak: Fine. But no script rewrites during commercial breaks.
