THE House of Representatives recalled its second reading approval of the bill granting media giant ABS-CBN a temporary license to operate until October 31.

Senator Francis Pangilinan and Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman pointed out Section 26 of Article 6 of the Constitution stating that no bill “shall become a law unless it has passed three readings on separate days,” unless the “President certifies to the necessity of its immediate enactment to meet a public calamity or emergency.”

He, however, maintained the passage was valid, citing precedence, but was reconsidered due to requests by some House members for further interpellation and possible amendments. During the interpellation of Lagman, Deputy Speaker Luis Raymund Villafurte, one of the authors of the bill, asserted that the procedure did not violate the Constitution, citing a precedence of resolutions that were approved on 1st and 2nd reading on the same day.
