ABS-CBN to Senate: We did not violate any of the franchise provisions

MANILA - ABS-CBN on Monday maintained that it did not violate any of the provisions of its franchise, and emphasized that it operated based on its mission to be in the service of the Filipino people.

Katigbak highlighted that the company, while not perfect, has delivered a "meaningful and valuable" service to Filipinos in its 25 years of broadcasting. Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv The largest media broadcasting company in the country is "one of the primary connections" of overseas Filipino workers to the Philippines, Katigbak said.

"Bantay Bata has rescued thousands of children from child abuse, and has given them new hope in life. Sagip Kapamilya has provided relief goods to victims of natural or man-made calamities and has provided help to over 12 million families since 2009," he said. The House of Representatives has yet to act on several bills seeking to grant a fresh 25-year franchise for ABS-CBN. The company's license to operate expires on March 30, while Congress will adjourn mid-March. The Office of the Solicitor General in February 10 sought to nullify the license, citing violations.

barbieeimperial Alangan sabihin nya na nag violate sila

Then specifically answer all the allegations that are being thrown at you. I believe the petition filed by Sol Gen Calida indicates three grounds.. bakit wala man lang comments dun?

Politics 😬. Politician always do this use the media to promote themselves. Bias. But actually in journalism there is journalism ethic which is telling the truth with no bias. I hope that this issue will solved ASAP the truth will win 🙏

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.
