MANILA - A National Telecommunications Commission official said Tuesday that the agency is just "following the law" in ordering ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. to "immediately" stop operations even though it sympathizes with the company whose franchise expired May 4 and a renewal bid remains pending in Congress.
"While we sympathize, but we have to comply with the law," he added when asked for his message to supporters of ABS-CBN and its employees. A section of the law states that "No person, firm, company, association, or corporation shall construct, install, establish, or operate a radio transmitting station, or a radio receiving station used for commercial purposes, or a radio broadcasting station, without having first obtained a franchise therefor from the Congress of the Philippines."
Palawan Rep. Franz "Chicoy" Alvarez, who chairs the House Committee on Legislative Franchises, told a separate interview on DZMM that they will invite NTC officials in a hearing to get their explanation for backtracking from their commitment. Cabarios said the order against ABS-CBN is "immediately executory," although it can avail of some legal remedies.
IF THEY CAN NOT PUNISH THE NTC IT SEEMS CONGRESS WANTS NTC TO BREAK THE LAW
MAN's LAW is double minded. It has two faces, d right & d wrong. It is so corrupt dat every time people use it only d best schemer wins. God's Righteousness is PERFECT, anybody dat uses it is SAVE by GOD's GRACE.
talk to crazy frogs😄😄😄
ULOL!!!!!! Manigas kayo!!!
ang saya ng ambag ng NTC 💔 you made our lives the happiest this time of pandemic
You was always grey ABS-CBN, but this what I believe called karma. It's time to correct and become transparent, be all Filipino chanel.
IStandWithABSCBN
walang puso ang NTC,, pinulitika nyo ang ABS CBN,, NoToABSCBNShutDown
The law is hard or harsh, but that is the law (Dura lex sed lex). No franchise, No operation. The BIG QUESTION: why was ABS-CBN not given franchise before its expiration which only Congress can give?
Takot
Canned and hypocritical response.
sige ako bahala! kakain ako ng tapsilog mamayang almusal
bat ung issue ng Philhealth Law na din un diba? with signature na nga eh! anyare
Karma po yan.
'Law has to be followed' seems to be a wrong argument here.
Law? Wow...pagkatapos gaguhin ang congress LAW Nice play ang ginawa ng NTC sa pamumuno ng bukbok na mag amo...isama pa ang nakakalbong speaker... nag diwang ang mga utouto na DDS,, laban lang NoToABSCBNShutDown
parang sinabi sayo na naiintindihan kita pero wala kaming magagawa
HI NTC, we don’t care for your sympathy po. Thanks.

Babayo abias cbn mga fake news😛😛😛😛
During the most trying time and with the circumstances apparent with difficulty, NTC speaks of sympathy but failed to display compassion to 11000 FELLOW FILIPINOS. Sleep well NTC and solgen calida.
You gotta be kidding right?
Hindi kami blind followers gaya ng DDS kaya huwag kami
Sabihin mo na lang utos ng boss, ayaw mo mawalan ng trabaho kasi.
If congress wanted abs-cbn to have its franchise on time, malamang nagawa nila un. Maybe they dont dba kaya d nila nagawa. Blame your representatives, the members of Congress if galit ka. Wag kalimutan Congress ang may hawak sa franchise!
Ulol nyo ntc
NTC, wow naman parang sincere sa sympathy. Hayup ang dating.
ABSCBNFranchise abscbn 😭😭😭😭😭 IStandWithABSCBN ABSCBN Please, Fight for us!
Let us also hold Congress leadership accountable for their failure to decide, Cayetano especially.
