We refer to the comments made by Jason Micallef, the MLP secretary-general, on Where's Everybody (August 29). He makes two claims. First, that "hardly anybody asks about the internal matters of Where's Everybody... whenever you try and look inside that organisation you're immediately shut out". Secondly, says Mr Micallef, "you will never find out how much money they're squeezing out of PBS".

The first claim is so evidently false that it hardly merits a response. No one asks about the internal matters of Where's Everybody?

We shut people out of our organisation? Come on Mr Micallef, grow up and get real. Every event, every programme and every initiative taken by Where's Everybody instantly becomes news. No other private Maltese company has ever been so publicly debated as WE.

We do not mind this intense public scrutiny one bit. We have nothing to hide, never did and never will. That is why, despite the vilest campaigns and boycotts against us, perhaps because of them, the public continues to trust Where's Everybody.

Our credibility does not come from politicians or from commercial competitors working through them. It comes from those who watch what we make and make up their own mind.

Mr Micallef's second claim is equally false. We do not "squeeze" money out of PBS. On the contrary, PBS benefits from our programmes, financially and in terms of quality and target audiences. That is why they continue to buy them. It is as simple as that.
