After rushing second reading approval of HB 6732 last week, Speaker Allan Peter Cayetano and the House of Representatives leadership has decided to drop the measure.

After scheduling 14 legislative franchise bills for a series of hearings starting next week, the House is expected to decide on the fate of media giant ABS-CBN by October this year.

The schedule will allow the Lower Chamber to conduct plenary debates and vote on the committee recommendation before the October break. Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez filed House Bill 6694 proposing a new 25-year franchise for network while House officials led by Cayetano filed HB 6732 seeking to give ABS-CBN a five month provisional franchise to reopen and allow its operation until October 31.

HB 853 was authored by Deputy Speaker and Davao City Rep.Paolo Duterte, Reps. Abraham Tolentino and Eric Go Yap .

Ano ba nagawa ni Lopez sa Pinas kundi siraan mga Marcos, Estrada, Arroyo, Duterte? 3% lang tax ng ABS-CBN? OPEN BIDDING FRANCHISE na yan, yayaman ang Pilipinas. Kaso, gusto lang nila mga Lopez kasi ayaw gumamit ng utak

My goodness, 14 bills just to renew. The Franchise committee should have checked the bills to determine if they can be merged some of it into one single bill. Ang dami dami niyan bago pa matapos pag-aralan ang isang bill ay umabot na sa 2021
