MANILA—Congressmen on Monday suspended deliberations on a bill granting a provisional franchise to ABS-CBN, raising fears it may take longer before the broadcast network can return to free TV and radi

o.

But because the bill was passed on first and second reading on the same day, some congressmen sought to “recall” it for debates and individual amendments to avoid legal questions. The constitution requires approval on “separate days.” “Bakit hindi na lang natin direchong i-hear yung 25 years na franchise ng ABS-CBN? Kasi ito din naman yung gusto ng lahat ng tao. Mapakinggan natin ang lahat ng panig... para once and for all, matuldukan na yung franchise issue na 'to,” said Rep. Eric Yap, chairman of the appropriations committee.

Such issues had been tackled at length during a Senate inquiry last Feb. 24, during which network executives insisted it violated no laws. Agusan del Norte Rep. Lawrence Fortun sought clarification from his colleagues on whether they were deliberating on a new ABS-CBN franchise or were renewing its old one, which expired on May 4.

House recalls 2nd reading approval of ABS-CBN temporary franchise bill – The Manila TimesTHE House of Representatives recalled its second reading approval of the bill granting media giant ABS-CBN a temporary license to operate until October 31. This was made after some lawmakers questioned the constitutionality of the hasty passage of the bill on 2nd reading on Wednesday, a few hours after it was filed on the same day. Senator […] Good. enough of the ABS holding lawmakers by the balls Dapat lang. Shame on them! Why not focus on medical marijuana and abolishing cpd law. The former proves to be beneficial,pharma.
