ACT-Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro described on Thursday as an overkill the filing of three House separate resolutions that seek to investigate three alleged violations committed by the shuttered television and radio giant ABS-CBN.
“Personalan na ito talaga at overkill na ang ginawa sa ABS-CBN. Lugmok na nga eh, talagang tinanggalan na nga ng prangkisa, lugmok na lugmok na. Tapos ganito pa ,” Castro said during a virtual press conference of the Makabayan bloc.
The House Committees on Legislative Franchises and on Good Government and Public Accountability carried out 12 marathon hearings discussing the dozen or so House bills calling for the grant of a new 25-year franchise to ABS-CBN, in the backdrop of alleged wrongdoings of its owner, Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, as well as the network’s violations to its previous franchise.
House Deputy Majority Leader and Cavite Rep. Jesus Crispin Remulla filed HR No.1015, which seeks to probe the block time agreement between ABS-CBN and Amcara Broadcasting Network Inc. Amcara supposedly facilitated the digital broadcast of ABS-CBN’s program even after their old franchise lapsed.
