Diokno: People’s initiative a feasible option in ABSCBNfranchise bid
Human rights lawyer Atty. Jose Manuel "Chel" Diokno believes that a proposed people's initiative to revive ABS-CBN Corp.'s franchise bid is feasible for the network and its supporters.
"Palagay natin na 65 million registered voters sa buong Pilipinas, so kailangan natin ng 6.5 million ng registered voters," he explained. "We have 243 districts now, by 2022 baka umabot 247 distrito iyan. Dapat sa bawat distrito may 3% ang pipirma ng petition," said Diokno. The move to revive ABS-CBN's franchise bid via people's initiative was proposed by lawyer Enrique de la Cruz after the House panel killed the network's efforts to secure a fresh 25-year franchise.
