House panel to decide on ABS-CBN's fate on Friday

Over 90 lawmakers are expected to decide on the fate of the embattled broadcast network ABS-CBN Corp. on Friday after wrapping up deliberations on its franchise application.

House legislative franchises committee chair Franz Alvarez of Palawan 1st District told CNN Philippines on Thursday said that the 46 members of his committee, along with at least 45 other House leaders or ex-officio panel members, will cast their vote after summarizing the arguments on various issues hounding the network's franchise.

A total of 12 hearings which covered at least 11 pending House bills were tackled in consideration of the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN. Since May, the legislative franchises committee has been spearheading the deliberations, along with the committee on good governance and public accountability. Majority of the members must be present before granting the franchise renewal. Should they vote in favor of ABS-CBN, its application, through the consolidated bills, will then be forwarded to the plenary for sponsorship of further debates.

I'm sure tapos na desisyon kahapon pa. Formality na lng yan lahat. Gov't and leads of abs already knew the result...

This is due process.

Dba wala naman congress pag friday... so special naman... or reset na lng.... para cliffhanger weekend.

please send the list of congressmen that will vote against ABS CBN to US so they can review their visas

We will now know who will be re-elected in the next election!!!

AngeliPV Expect the worst 😢. Nagkaroon ng 12 hearings lahat ng agency sinabing walang violations, pero close minded naman sila. Anong use ng hearings kung from the start naisulat na nila desisyon nila? 😡

🙏

Nakakalungkot man isipin pero ramdam kong mananaig ang NO. Habang nasa malacañang si Digong, di mabibigyan ng prangkisa ang ABS. Sana mali lang ang pakiramdam ko. 🙏🏽

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 YES to abs cbn franchise

What a waste of tax payers' money. Personal vendetta instead of helping in ths crisis.

Vote for Yes!!❤🙏🙏🙏

After the hearings, I hope they vote for what is fair and legal. Do not let conscience alone decide.

It's a done deal. Goodbye ABS CBN.
