MANILA - ABS-CBN Corp may continue operations pending renewal of its franchise as Congress may allow the National Telecommunications Commission to issue broadcast companies provisional authority, the

Department of Justice has said.

"However, a more stable legal environment could be created if Congress, by a concurrent resolution, would authorize the NTC to issue a provisional authority to these broadcasting companies under such terms and conditions as it may deem necessary, until Congress' final disposition of the franchise renewal bills," it said.

Several bills remain pending at the House of Representatives for ABS-CBN's franchise renewal, with House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano saying the matter was "not that urgent" and that he was eyeing May to begin proceedings on the proposals. "This appears to be an equitable practice that has been previously adopted by Congress in favor of broadcast companies whose bills for renewal of franchise have already been filed, but have not yet been enacted into law by Congress," Guevarra said.

Guevarra also noted a gap in existing laws on franchises, saying they "do not provide for the status of the operations of a radio and/or television franchise" pending measures for their license renewal. The DOJ also affirmed the NTC's power to issue provisional authority for a broadcast company to continue operations pending its franchise renewal.
