Months after a House committee junked the franchise bid of ABS-CBN, Deputy Speaker Vilma Santos Recto filed a new bill that would give the media network a 25-year franchise to operate.

Recto filed House Bill No. 8298 on January 5, but its first reading occurred during the plenary session on Monday, January 18 – the day the lower chamber reconvened after going on a break for the holidays.

This is the second time Recto filed a bill to renew the franchise of ABS-CBN, whom she had worked with during her years as a famous actress before she became provincial governor and eventually congresswoman of Batangas' 6th District. "ABS-CBN has remained steadfast in its commitment to reach out to as many Filipinos as possible by delivering their quality core programs closer to our countrymen by taking advantage of emerging broadcast technologies," Recto said in her explanatory note for HB 8298.

Shes once an actress i think thats how its best thing to do from where the line of work she had before i myself will do the same thing for my comrades. The best action maybe is an apology admitting mistakes were all not perfect people after all. So the takeaway is 'perfectionism'
