Robredo, who is the leader of the opposition, said it was “laughable” that Calida filed a motion for a gag order against ABS-CBN, which is a media company.

“[It’s] very ironic na iyong media iyong inaasahan mo na magpapaabot ng information sa tao, tapos sila din iyong sinasabihan mong huwag umimik,” she said in an interview at the Quezon City Reception House. “Parang masyadong disconnected sa reality, masyadong disconnected sa ano ba iyong kaniya-kaniyang papel na ginagampanan natin dito,” she added.

Robredo was asked to react to the very urgent motion filed by Calida before the SC to bar the ABS-CBN from making comments on the quo warranto case against the broadcast network’s franchise. The top government lawyer is seeking the revocation of the franchise, which is set to expire on March 30.The SC has given ABS-CBN five days to submit its comment on the gag motion.“Iyong implications nito sa ating lahat na kung isang media company gaya ng ABS-CBN, kayang ma-suppress sa ganitong paraan, sino na iyong ligtas sa ganitong panggigipit?” she asked.

Robredo hits SolGen plea for gag order: Ironic to gag the mediaVice 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.” So trial by publicity is okay? 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. 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.

Gag order acceptable practice to prevent outside influence: law deanYesToABSCBNShutDown QuoWarranto The gag order can only limit executives to air their sentiments. But they cant stop the public from doing so. It will directly hit our right to express and freedom of speech. Same as the news it is a public interest and a press freedom. We keep hearing Accusations and seeing Actions from the Accuser. When is ABSCBN going to release statements supported by evidences? They have many supporters, they should reassure them of their stand. Guilty or not, the people deserve a honest trial.
