Cayetano urged to 'immediately' conduct House hearings on ABS-CBN franchise

MANILA - At least 14 lawmakers on Tuesday urged House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano to "immediately convene" the chamber's committee on legislative franchises to tackle ABS-CBN's bid for a fresh 25-year license to operate, a week after it was forced off air by the country's telecoms body.

The group of lawmakers said it was now the chamber's "primary duty and responsibility to put an end to the uncertainties and confusion" on the network's franchise. ABS-CBN halted its broadcast operations last week after the National Telecommunications Commission went back on its commitment to allow the network to operate beyond its lapsed franchise.

Ung isang taong may hiya pa sa sarili, magtatago na un sa kahihiyan pero etong taong to! Sobrang kapal na ng mukha para magpakita pa at magsalita! Kasama to sa programa na “kapal, kapal,kapal” ng gobyernong to!

Immediately? Mukhang nagmamadali tayong masyado Kobe Cayetano ah. May taxi bang nag hihintay sa 'yo sa labas..?

Mukhang Mas malaki na yata ang problema ng ABS-CBN ngayon kasi may marami ng ebidensiyang nakalap against the station. From franchise procurement,foreign ownership,violations on labor & broadcast practices, etc. The Government May completely shutdown the entire station for good.

Akala ko ba hindi priority, Speaker Cayetano? Buking na plano mo, wala ng naniniwala sa'yo.
