“We deplore the blatant and arrogant abuse of power. This is a warning to the press: Do not offend the powers that be. One less watchdog is one step towards tyranny,” the MPC said in a statement.
They also grieved for the thousands of ABS-CBN employees who stand to lose their jobs. “We stand in solidarity in their fight against this state-backed repression of private media,” the group said. “They conveniently shut their eyes to the true role of a free press: an institution duty-bound to ferret out the truth, while lifting up the marginalized sectors of society,” PDI reporters said in a statement.
"Now, more than ever, journalists are called upon to unite against state entities trampling on the people’s right to know. We stand with ABS-CBN in sorrow and solidarity. We will soldier on," they added.The Defense Press Corps of the Philippines also denounced the House panel’s decision, saying it was “based solely on personal antipathy towards the network.”
The Justice and Court Reporters Association criticized the decision as a"brazen assault on press freedom" by the very people who are tasked to make laws.

They have tried to lower their understanding of “oligarchy” so that it will not point to them, they will go this low to justify their abuse of power. Remember Father Pio’s encounter with a penitent (Satan himself) who was able to justify every sin with great ability?
