“We stand by our ABS-CBN colleagues who are among the truth-tellers feared by the powerful corrupt and abusive. Shutting down ABS-CBN would be a triumph for the oppressor,” the group said.
Meanwhile, the PNP Press Corps expressed “serious concern” on the case filed by the government’s chief lawyer, calling it an “attempt to stop the operation” of the broadcast giant. “We stand with our fellow media workers at ABS-CBN, we stand for fair treatment and due process, and we stand for freedom of the press,” the PNP Press Corps said in a separate statement on Wednesday.
“Amid various arguments pertaining to this matter, all of these still boil down to the issue of press freedom which is enshrined in the Constitution, and which is part of the real meaning of democracy,” it added. Through the quo warranto petition filed on Monday, Calida said the high court should revoke the congressional franchise of ABS-CBN and its subsidiary, ABS-CBN Convergence Inc., for violating its terms and the Constitution.
