The NTC announced that it had also granted Sonshine Media Network International, the broadcasting arm of a church led by Apollo C. Quiboloy, a provisional authority to operate a digital TV broadcasting system in Mega Manila using Channel 43. READ:

Channel 43 is where ABS-CBN used to air its TV Plus programs like Teleradyo, Jeepney TV, Yey!, Asianovela Channel, and CineMo, among others.

The NTC said late on Tuesday that it had initially awarded digital Channel 16 and analog Channel 2 to the Villar-linked Advanced Media Broadcasting System , the first applicant that had been waiting for 16 years for an available TV frequency. Through Planet Cable, the Villar-led Prime Asset Ventures, Inc.’s telecommunications subsidiary Streamtech Systems Technologies, Inc. offers internet service to homes and businesses.

In a separate interview, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry President George T. Barcelon said: “I’m surprised about the awards. Apparently, what we see is maybe this is the process itself that we’re undergoing without our knowledge.” “These developments are indicative of the continuing bad practice of patronage, clientelistic and family politics in the Philippines and the dominance of oligarchs and business people close to Malacañang.
