Agusan del Norte 1st District Rep. Lawrence Fortun said that with the case junked, there would no longer be sub judice rule to invoke in the House hearings concerning issues raised in the dismissed quo warranto petition. | NAMercadoINQ

Fortun likewise said that the minority bloc in the House of Representatives would be “more direct” with their questions.

“We, in the House Minority, will be more direct in our questions in the days ahead on those opposed to the ABS-CBN Franchise,” Fortun said. “The Office of the Solicitor General or its representatives, the NTC and the SEC can no longer refuse to answer our questions on the ground of sub judice when they appear before Congress,” the lawmaker added.

Further, Fortun said: “All the more, the grounds raised to deny ABS-CBN the renewal of its franchise will be further exposed to be devoid of merit and should not be lent credence by Congress.” The Supreme Court has dismissed on the ground of mootness the quo warranto case filed against ABS-CBN.“We hope that shortly after this, the Supreme Court will resolve to void the NTC’s cease and desist order and allow ABS-CBN to resume airing pending final resolution by Congress on its application for renewal or new franchise,” Fortun said.
