House committee on legislative franchises chair Franz Alvarez says his panel will schedule a hearing only when all documents have been received.

In a text message to Rappler, panel chairperson Franz Alvarez said this will be formally announced during the committee on legislative franchises’ meeting on Monday, February 24. This legislative franchises panel's meeting, however, was not included in the list of committee hearings posted in the House website as of posting.

But he did not say how long it would take for the committee to go through all documents nor when the hearing would likely happen. In contrast, the Senate public services committee is set to hold its first hearing on ABS-CBN on Monday.
