MANILA - The proposed temporary use for distance learning of the TV and radio frequencies that were assigned to ABS-CBN Corp. is "not necessary," a lawmaker said Friday.
"There is no need to use ABS-CBN’s frequencies for distance learning because the government has so much television frequencies in PTV-4 and IBC-13 and also AM/FM radio frequencies in the Philippine Broadcast Service," Lagman said, referring to the state-run television station People’s Television Network, Inc. and the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corp., as well as state radio stations.
The lawmaker also said time is running out for the government to negotiate with ABS-CBN Corp. over the frequencies due to the opening of school which is on August 24.
