ABS-CBN permanently closes the main gate of its Broadcasting Center on Sgt. Esguerra Avenue in Quezon City. Multiple outlets report the gate is shut to motorists, employees, and visitors, marking the end of public access through the iconic entrance.
One report says the gate closes at 6 a.m. on Sunday, August 16, with a staff member documenting the final entry and posting updates online. Another outlet describes the closure as permanent and focuses on the shutdown of the gate itself. Both accounts place the closure at the same Broadcasting Center location and treat it as a result of internal operational changes, including ongoing studio consolidation.
While outlets differ mainly in emphasis—some highlight the timing and on-the-ground documentation, others summarize the permanent closure—both describe the same event: ABS-CBN’s main Esguerra gate is no longer open as the network reorganizes its studios and access routes.
