Lea Salonga, Anne Curtis urge followers to sign petition for ABS-CBN franchise renewal

earlier said they hope that President Rodrigo Duterte will reconsider his decision about not renewing the franchise.

Duterte has threatened to block the passage of a law that would grant the station a congressional franchise. Back in April 2017, he accused the network of"swindling" him because they allegedly did not air his political advertisements during the 2016 presidential elections. In the Philippines, broadcast companies such as radio and television networks must obtain a franchise from Congress under Republic Act 3846.

The franchise bill needs approval by the House of Representatives before it is forwarded to the Senate. A version of the bill approved by both the House and the Senate will still require presidential approval.

How about, 'Please pay your unpaid taxes. So many lives will be affected as the government will have more funds to create more jobs.''

I am sure the celebrities are so concerned that they will put their own money into a fund to take care of the workers right?

share share kayo....bayaran ninyo ang utang ng network ninyo....

ang daming kaso ng abs cbn regarding sa kontrata ng empleyado nila. Tpos di pa nagbabayad ng tax.

bayaran ninyo ang utang ng netwwok ninyo...

I did

Para naman mabawas bawasan ang mga telenovela at mga walang kwentang palabas. Pwede namang may pumasok na bagong network. Kukunin nila yung mga empleyadong nawalan ng trabaho.

We will sign the petition because ABS-CBN has been my all time favorite tv program from current affairs to variety programs.❤️🇵🇭❤️💪

When the country and its institutions were being raped, they were silent or were enablers because of 'utang na loob'. Now that their livelihoods are at stake, they ask for help from the citizens

Remember these words of hubris: '𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕘𝕠 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕚𝕟𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕪𝕤,' Lopez said. And for this and many other high-handed decisions and alleged legal infractions, ABS deserves to be given another lesson.

Close GMA 7 as well lol
