Vice President Leni Robredo calls Solicitor General Jose Calida’s plea to stop ABS-CBN and its representatives from commenting on his petition to void the franchises of the TV network and its communication subsidiary as “ironic.”

[Translation: If one media company like ABS-CBN can be suppressed this way, who else is safe from harassment.]that Calida’s move to bar the broadcast giant and its representatives from discussing the government’s bid to nullify its franchise is “premature” as the Supreme Court has yet to officially take on the case.

Amnesty International, meanwhile, urged Calida to withdraw his plea for a gag order, saying it is a"clear attempt to silence critics of the government, and would set a very dangerous precedent in violation of the right to freedom of expression." He also called out commentaries and reports, as well as articles quoting entertainment personalities throwing support behind the network.

She's really not getting it. Pathetic!

sa totoo lang vp si soc calida kahit na prosti hindi magkagusto (bansot at pangit pa). to qoute sen bong 'gusto niya siya lang ang puti, kami mga itim(racist din yan).

Maybe. But with ABS-CBN using their own news trying to win over public sympathy, and sidesteps them from the issues filed by the SolGen, they're just living up to the irony!

Lopezes be like...

Ironic coming from a lawyer lenirobredo ... A gag order is a legal remedy... Pakireview nga test paper nito sa bar exam... Please mukhang my mali...

YesToABSCBNShutDown

E kung sabihin ng media na kabit ka, freedom of press ba yun? Nagtatanong lang ha lenirobredo

I hate to say but you are really bobo lenirobredo

Is she really a lawyer.? The FVP must be kidding.

lenirobredo Lawyer ka ba talaga? Because Fair trial ay hindi sakop ng freedom of expression, press freedom etc.

Sawsaw pa more

10 take siya sa BAR e minsan Tsamba Lang 🤣

patience... 2 years more… lenirobredo VPPilipinas with disgust

WAS THERE A GAG ORDER ALREADY ISSUED BY A JUDGE OF THE COURT? IF NONE, THEN CALIDA IS OUT OF ORDER.

Mukhang ito ang may fake diploma sa law. That's what you get for electing someone out of sympathy. Nakaka tatlo na kayo Pilipinas! Gising!!

GAG order of GAGo José Calida. The SolGen should be investigated on his security firm

Ok, the Gag order was meant to stop ABS CBN from bringing the battle to wrong venue. IT IS NOT SUPPRESSION OF FREEDOM. My gosh, my gosh. Lawyer ka. At part ka ng government. Wag puro press release Ate.

lenirobredo I thought you were a lawyer. As there was already a filed case, the respondents shouldn't be discussing the details of the case in public, lest they be pre-judged prematurely.

So trial by publicity is okay?
