MANILA - Another ally of President Rodrigo Duterte in the House of Representatives has joined calls for the renewal of the broadcast franchise of ABS-CBN Corporation when the 18th Congress resumes ses

sion on January 20.

“I urge Chair Franz Alvarez of the House Committee on Legislative Franchise to start hearings on my House Bill No. 5705 renewing the ABS-CBN franchise for another 25 years together with 9 other bills on the same subject matter. Congress should always uphold the Constitutional mandate under Sec 4, Art 3 to ensure the freedom of the press," he said.

“The late Gina Lopez initiated the Bantay Bata 163, the Bantay Kalikasan and the Kapit Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig project," said Rodriguez, in reference to the corporation's programs on the protection of children and the environment. Due to the President’s continuing objection to the franchise renewal, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises has not acted on eight pending bills similarly proposing a 25-year extension of ABS-CBN’s franchise. Lagman also emphasized that time is running out.

“The advice of Speaker Alan to us was to make sure that we would be always fair and impartial in reviewing the application of ABS-CBN, or the application of any other public utility, for that matter. At the same time it is Congress' duty to accept complaints and hear issues brought up... or [any] objection," Alvarez said.
