Agusan del Norte Rep. Lawrence Fortun said there is a need for a resolution as there is no legal basis for the National Telecommunications Commission to allow a provisional operation by ABS-CBN. | NAMercadoINQ

The adoption of a resolution, Fortun said, might be good “to send a very clear message to the NTC.”

The lawmaker said NTC might refuse to grant a provisional permit especially with the Office of the Solicitor General’s filing of a quo warranto petition before the Supreme Court. OSG is accusing ABS-CBN of violating terms of its legislative franchise. House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano previously said that ABS-CBN may continue broadcasting if NTC grants it a provisional authority to operate.Cayetano said the House franchise panel may submit to NTC a document supporting the provisional license for ABS-CBN.
