House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano said the issuance of a cease and desist order by the NTC against ABS-CBN caught everybody by surprise.

HOUSE Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, speaking for the first time since the shutdown of ABS-CBN Corporation’s broadcasting operations, shifted the blame to the National Telecommunications Commission and the solicitor general.

Solicitor General Jose Calida earlier blamed the House of Representatives for failing to act on ABS-CBN’s application for franchise renewal since 2016. He said the NTC was merely following the law. The NTC ordered the network on May 5 to shut down broadcast operations after its 25-year franchise expired on May 4. Under the Radio Control Law, or Republic Act 3846, a legislative franchise is required for a person or firm to engage in broadcast operations.

Cayetano insisted in February that the House will start deliberations on the ABS-CBN franchise bills in May despite growing clamor for legislators to act on the bills.In the meantime, the House sought assurances from the DOJ and NTC that ABS-CBN’s broadcast operations would not be disrupted even after its franchise expires.

sunstarcebu It took 3 days for a speaker to respond? Dito lang ba siya natagalan mag respond or sa lahat ng bagay matagal talaga ang leadership niya mag respond?
