Palace: Duterte’s victory claim vs oligarchs just a coincidence as ABS-CBN lost franchise bid

Duterte made the statement after the House of Representatives panel on legislative franchises rejected the franchise application of television giant ABS-CBN Corp., which the President repeatedly threatened in his speeches over its alleged biased reporting against his administration and for not airing his 2016 presidential election campaign advertisement.

“He’s referring po to oligarchies that he has dealt with personally,” Roque said. “Nandiyan po ‘yung unang away niya with Lucio Tan pero nagbayad po ng pagkakautang sa airport si Lucio Tan. At nandiyan po ‘yung mga water concessionaires at dahil talaga naman sinabihan niya, baguhin niyo ang kontrata, hindi dapat maging agrabayado ang taumbayan kung hindi ay ipakukulong ko kayo. At pumayag naman po na magkaroon ng amended concession agreement ang dalawang taipans na MVP group at Ayala group.

“Kasi palagi namang sinasabi niya sa kanyang mga talumpati na ‘yang mga oligarchs na talagang siya mismo ang bumuwag. Ito naman pong kaso ng ABS-CBN ay kaso ng nagexpire na prangkisa at hindi po narenew ng Kongreso,” he added.Curiously, Duterte’s running mate in the 2016 presidential elections and now Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano said that his colleagues’ denial of ABS-CBN’s bid for a fresh 25-year franchise is a move against one of the country’s oligarchs.

Buking na nga eh! 🙄🙄🙄🤭🤭🤭

ay akala ba talaga nitong mga to na tanga tayo?!

Knowing Duterte, hindi coincidence 'yan.

e sabi ni Cayetae...

Coincidence? Hahahhaa tanga lang maniniwala diyan hahaha shuta

Brownie has lost it!

Ang galing naman🙄 So coincidence lang din yung pagboto ng NO nung mga 70 representatives!

Better shut up if nothing good to say. IbalikAngABSCBN

So speculations were right that denying abs their franchise was a done deal. That all the drama in tongress was all for show. Sickening!

OMG! May joke na naman?

DUH!!! Yeah right

hehe Of course, it's just a coincidence. Mga u%l!

The president mocking everyone’s intellegince. Hindi tayo tanga.

Kayod pa HariRoki

Hindi lahat ng Pilipino kaya mong lokohin at balasubasin. Darating din panahon mo.

mahirap na tahi tahiin mga kasinungalingan lumilitaw katotohanan sa bibig nahuhuli ang isda hugas kamay para ang narrative eh neutral daw ang pangulo sa abs cbn franchise renewal eh vengeance na motibo tapos para sa bayan daw na mabuwag oligarchy eh sya nga may political dynasty

Coincidence din po na madami ang nawalan ng trabaho🤣🤣🤣✌

Coincidence, not intended.

If he wants to dismantle oligarchy, he should have certfied an Anti-Dynaty Law to prevent very few families ruling the country, including his own. There are very few families or groups controlling the economy of the Philippines but they all have submitted themselves to regulation

It is coincidence surely as hell.

So? Pinagtagpo at Itinadhana ba ang peg? Ganun lng yon? Aba matindi!

Apaka galing na coincidence naman nito! 🤦‍♀️ Di pa ba nila alam na hindi na nila kailangan ipaliwanag mga statements nya? Ano to, sino maniniwala sa inyo? Huy wag na kami uy!

But he is happy not to use ML?!
