MANILA – A gag order against ABS-CBN will not only violate press freedom, it will also deprive Filipinos of a vital source of information, ABS-CBN Corporation and ABS-CBN Convergence, Inc.

argued in their submission to the Supreme Court Monday.

But ABS-CBN said the sub judice rule was not intended to prohibit any discussion of any matter covered by a pending judicial proceeding. The network argued that a gag order is a form of prior restraint – an official governmental restriction in advance of actual publication and dissemination – that violates freedom of expression and of the press.

Clear and present danger means the injury sought to be prevented must be substantive and imminent, not hypothetical. “’Persons acting on their behalf’ is also vague. Would anyone making public statements in favor or against a party be acting on their behalf?" it added.

Jusko! Gag order is a legal exercise! Hindi yan pag silence, yan ay upang maiwasan ang mga sabi-sabi na makakaapekto sa pagreresolba ng problema sa loob ng korte. Nasa Korte na ang kaso, wag na pairalin ang tsismis dahil hindi yun nakakatulong! Pweh!

House to delay ABS-CBN hearings until May or August(UPDATED) ABS-CBN's franchise expires on March 30, but Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano says the House must tackle priority bills first Every day that passes makes June 30, 2022 a day nearer. Indeed, one day at a time. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. mga Tongresman na mga walang utak at sariling disposisyon, nakaasa lahat kay Duterte hind isa mga constituents nila. bakit kaya these TONGresmen ask their constituents na mas malamang natulungan ng ABSCBN kesa sa kanila mismo IF THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY....UNFORTUNATELY THE WILL OF DOTARDTE IS MORE IMPORTANT IN EXCHANGE FOR NOT PURSUING THE INVESTIGATION OF ASIAN GAMES FIASCO.
