With the lower chamber dropping its bid to approve an interim franchise for ABS-CBN, at least two senators believe the chance of getting the network back on air by June is “getting tighter.” Read:

“Kasi sinabi na po ng House of Representatives na dapat 25 years ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN at magkakaroon sila ng malawakang pagdinig. Hanggang June 3 na lang kami, hindi matatapos ang hearing nila hanggang June 3,” Drilon said in an interview on TeleRadyo on Wednesday.With this in mind, he said the House should just proceed with tackling ABS-CBN’s five-month provisional franchise to give Congress enough time to deliberate on the renewal of the network’s 25-year franchise.

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, who is leading the deliberations on bills seeking to grant ABS-CBN a provisional franchise in the Senate, shares Drilon’s sentiment.on four pending Senate bills either seeking to grant ABS-CBN a fresh 25-year franchise or to give the network a temporary franchise. “With seven session days left in the legislative calendar, the prospect of getting the provisional franchise approved before the sine die adjournment is getting tighter,” he added.

“We need our citizens to be well informed to avoid being infected and in turn infect others,” he said.
