Senator Grace Poe on Saturday said that she is hoping for a swift decision on the resolution to grant ABS-CBN provisional authority to keep on operating despite the company’s expired franchise. | BLozadaINQ
“Umaasa ako na sana ay gawan nila ng mabilisang aksyon at kaya naman nila kung gusto nila. Nakita naman natin na maraming batas ang naipasa nang mabilisan,” said Poe. “Wala naman akong nakikitang balakid, maaari siguro tignan ng mabuti ang bersyon ng Kongreso at sana magkasundo agad para wala nang mahabang bicameral session.”
Poe, the Senate Committee Chair for Public Services, already inhibited from the hearing not only due to her position in the Upper House but also with her mother Susan Roces being part of hit show “Ang Probinsyano” on ABS-CBN. Taking her place in the Senate hearings is Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian. Poe said she has high hopes for her fellow Senator, who she described as “fair and would work hard to study whatever job he’s given.”
Poe, meanwhile, likened ABS-CBN’s shutdown to an actor getting fired because a director or producer simply didn’t like him. “Let’s say ‘yung working conditions nila masama tapos may nag reklamong isang empleyado tapos yung nag-reklamong ‘yun pinatalsik kahit hindi naman direktang apektado ‘yung ibang empleyado eh matatakot na sila,” said Poe.
