Television network ABS-CBN on Thursday afternoon, May 7, asked the Supreme Court (SC) to stop the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) from implementing its cease and desist order (CDO) issued on May 5.
An employee looks at an announcement of a Philippine tv network shutted down on his mobile phone on May 5, 2020.
The petition, docketed as GR No. 252119, pleaded for a temporary restraining order or a writ of preliminary injunction. It “seeks to nullify and set aside the 5 May 2020 order of the NTC in NTC Adm. Case No. 2020-008, entitled National Telecommunications Commission vs. ABS-CBN Corporation, insofar as it ordered ABS-CBN to ‘immediately cease and desist from operating… radio and television stations’ identified by the NTC….”It was not known immediately if the petition will be taken up on Friday, May 8, when the SC justices meet via video conferencing online for the retirement ceremony of Associate Justice Andres B.
ABS-CBN, which was ordered to comment on the CDO in 10 days, went off air on May 5 hours after it received the order from NTC.
