Broadcast executives agree to comply and move to a nearby Davao Oriental town instead.
DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – The Mati City government has ordered four radio stations closed down for operating without permits from the local government of Davao Oriental’s capital city.The cease-and-desist order, signed by Mati City administrator Alejandro Aquino and city legal officer Kareen Silver Manluyang on February 27, was served on Monday, March 13, according to Radyo Mayo manager Nathaniel Quinonez.
Raul Antupuesto, the chairman of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas in Davao Oriental, said the radio stations that were ordered closed would relocate to the nearby town of San Isidro where they would continue their broadcasts. Antupuesto owns a Radyo Natin franchise in Mati City and operates two other radio stations in Davao City and Lupon, Davao Oriental. Although not among those ordered closed, he said his Mati radio station would also move to San Isidro to protest the order to shut down the four Mati broadcasters.
Lito Labra, the station manager of Radyo Birada, said the city government made it difficult for them to secure a permit.
