Aside from the comment on the petition, ABS-CBN Corporation was also directed to answer the plea of the Office of the Solicitor General for the issuance of a temporary restraining order that would stop immediately the operation of the firm’s Kapamilya Box Office , a subscription channel where viewers can watch movies for a fee.
“Acting on the Quo Warranto Petition filed by Solicitor General Calida on behalf of the Republic against respondents ABS-CBN Corp. and ABS-CBN Convergence, Inc. the Supreme Court in today’s En Banc session, required the respondents to file their comment to the said petition for Quo Warranto within a non-extendible period of 10 days from receipt of notice,” Hosaka told journalists covering the SC.
Published reports stated that ABS-CBN’s franchise will expire next month. Several bills have been filed in Congress for the renewal of the franchise.“We want to put an end to what we discovered to be highly abusive practices of ABS-CBN benefitting a greedy few at the expense of millions of its loyal subscribers. These practices have gone unnoticed or were disregarded for years.
“ABS-CBN abused the privilege granted by the State when it launched and operated a pay-per-view channel in ABS-CBN TV Plus, the KBO Channel, without prior approval or permit from the National Telecommunications Commission. While it is true that broadcasting is a business, the welfare of the people must not be sacrificed in the pursuit of profit.
“This simply means that mass media companies operating in the Philippines must be 100 per cent Filipino owned because they play an integral role in a nation’s economic, political, and socio-cultural landscape. On the day the petition was filed, ABS-CBN Corporation said it did not violate the law to warrant the forfeiture of its franchises.
Nagtututuro ang ABS-CBN ng iba para damay-damay na. 😀😊😁

SC the wrong place for complaint vs ABS-CBN – legal expertThe Supreme Court will likely dismiss Solicitor General Jose Calida's petition to cancel ABS-CBN's franchise, with a legal expert saying the complaint has no factual basis and is filed before the wrong venue. ow? wanna bet? surely SC will dismiss it in april 2020 citing moot & academic, coz ABS CBN's franchise expires at the end of march! The quo warranto case filed by SolGen just ignited the fire and has swung the pendulum to ABSCBN. People love underdogs.
