Senators probe ABS-CBN franchise as Calida moves for network’s shutdown

MANILA— seen as a pushback on the Philippine government’s move to close down the country’s largest media network, as congressmen continue to sit on proposals to renew its broadcast franchise.

Malacañang has distanced President Duterte from the petition of Calida, who serves as the government’s top lawyer. Sen. Grace Poe admitted that Calida’s gag order motion prompted her public services committee to push the hearing ahead of schedule “to be on the safe side.” Rodriguez, an administration congressman pushing for a fresh 25-year franchise for ABS-CBN, insisted that the House would not be “susceptible to any pressure from anybody, not even the Senate.”

A commitment from the National Telecommunications Commission for an extension would also mean that the 11,000 workers of ABS-CBN Corp. and its subsidiaries “can rest easy,” she said.
