A lawmaker is calling on the House of Representatives to reconsider the second reading approval of the bill granting ABS-CBN a provisional franchise until October 31, 2020. | NAMercadoINQ

However, Lagman said House Bill No. 6732 was not certified as urgent by President Rodrigo Duterte and as such, the “three readings on separate days” rule was not followed.

Another ground for the reconsideration of the approval of the bill, Lagman said, is to enable the plenary to reopen the period of amendments to accommodate a longer effectivity of the provisional franchise for at least one year or sometime up to July 2021, as suggested by some senators. “After the timely reconsideration, and with the possible introduction of amendments to House Bill No. 6732, the bill can be approved on second reading on May 18, 2020, which is a separate session day,” the lawmaker added.earlier told INQUIRER.net that he would file a motion to recall the approval of the bill on Monday, May 18.

However, Deputy Speaker Neptali Gonzales has insisted that the lower chamber did not commit any violations in the approval of the bill.

‘Natakot ako’, Kathryn Bernardo admits as she breaks silence on ABS-CBN shutdownMay tv patrol pa naman online di ba? So hindi nawala ang balita! 🙁 Wag ka ng umarte! Wala ka sa palabas. Oh ayan malapit na kayo magbukas temporary sabihin mo sa mga kasamahan mo na wag masyadong OA! Sympathy again?! Pag pray nyo na wag ma VITO ng Presidente. I understand her perspective. Whether she deeply sympathizes for those who are minimum/hourly wage earners of the 11K workers or not, it is truly unfair that they’re losing their jobs & those who depend on some celebrities’/network’s advocacies/programs to assist them financially

Bayan warns provisional franchise may hold ABS-CBN in hostageMANILA, Philippines — The possible approval of a bill granting a provisional franchise to ABS-CBN, which free television and radio broadcasts were shut down after its legislative franchise expired GabrielLaluINQ For a simple reason na AYAW ni Cayetano na under his speakership na ma-APPROVE ang franchise ng ABS-CBN, with that, NASUNOD pa din niya ang gusto ng Pangulo. And by October, New Speaker na, so iwas pusoy ika nga. Tama ba? GabrielLaluINQ Ka OBOB naman. Di talaga makuntento. Kasalanan yan ng Legal Council ng ABS-CBN, they know the law and have 6 years to fix it and put it in SC but they act dumb to use the public ppl again. Di inayos ng Congress pero di naman nagreklamo. Masyadong Umasa kay Mar Roxas kasi. 🤦🏼‍♂️ GabrielLaluINQ Eh di magantay kayo sa hearing nyo
