Poe to solons: If ABS-CBN franchise deemed extended, put it in writing or declare it

Poe further stated that the possibility of the broadcast giant being shut down was “not a joke” as it would affect 11,000 of its employees.

Previously, Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III said that ABS-CBN may still continue to operate until March 2022 as long as there is a pending bill extending or renewing its franchise.Poe, chair of the Senate public works committee, earlier filed a resolution that that seeks to look into “the operations of ABS-CBN Corporation to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its franchise under Republic Act No. 7966.

The sub judice rule restricts comments and disclosures pertaining to judicial proceedings to avoid prejudging the issue, influencing the court, or obstructing the administration of justice, according to the Supreme Court in the April 2009 case of Romero vs. Estrada.Still, Poe said that the Senate inquiry would only look into the alleged violations of the network.

“Walang perpekto. Ako ang isip ko diyan ay bukas dahil maraming nag-a-apply ng prangkisa, wala namang perpekto,” she said. “Walang duda na may serbisyong ibinibigay ang network ng ABS-CBN pero ito timbangin natin—ang serbisyo ba na ibinibigay ng ABS-CBN ay akma o kayang isantabi ang mga kakulangan nito,” she added.

instead of blaming our current government madam poe for doing their job, why not blame the bosses in ABS CBN for their negligence resulting in this issue... I pray for you madam

Sensible 😊

nag joke ka ba? ang responsibility ng employer na abs cbn ang bahala sa 11,000 na pekeng sinabi mo

For perceived and proven violations of ABS CBN, it should pay a substantial fine before its a franchise is extended. This is a MUST as an example that no one is above the law and such an extension should carry a penalty clause or a performance guarantee to ensure compliance

Govt must renew franchise but with safeguards or built-in controls to ensure against abuse of ABS CBN. Such controls or safeguards must be clear and not subject to mis - interpretation by any party. If there are no safeguards - then no extension.

So it's the number of employees not what they did whether it was lawful or not...

Conflict of interest?

Magkano po binayad sa inyo

khallareINQ Hell no

khallareINQ Or they can stop operation after March 30, 2020 until the Congress decide their fate.

khallareINQ SenGracePOE , we already have laws in place in the event situations like these arises. PLEASE DO NOT MUCK IT UP!

khallareINQ Isa pa to...yosi daw uli yosi

khallareINQ Closure is never a better solution to problems, if any. They can do something positive but they opted to be negative. Seeing a clear abuse of power for one's vested interest. Bad politics is not as rewarding as good morality.

khallareINQ Soul-searching daw!!! Corporations have no Soul to punish.

khallareINQ Yawa kang poeta ka!!!! Nangarag ka sa abscbn franchise. Pero sa emergency power wa pake. Litsi! Puro pansariling interest lang inaatupag nyo SenGracePOE
