Move to kill ABSCBNfranchise bid damages trust in gov't- Archbishop Soc Villegas

MANILA - The House franchise committee's decision to deny ABS-CBN Corp's bid for a new broadcast license has "damaged people's trust in the workings of the government," Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said on Saturday.

"The President’s threats to close the station are a matter of public record. Now that the matter of the franchise has been dealt a final blow by the Lower House, can our people be blamed for the perception that Congress, supposedly a fiercely independent body of the people’s representatives, has bent over in subservience to the President?" he said.

Members of the House franchise committee, after 12 lengthy joint hearings with the committee on good government, on Friday voted 70-11 to deny ABS-CBN's fresh franchise application, shuttering the network's broadcast business.
