MANILA - At least 8 senators have signed a resolution urging the National Telecommunications Commission to reconsider its cease and desist order against the broadcast operations of ABS-CBN, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said Thursday.
"Nilagay sa panganib ng cease and desist order na inihain laban sa ABS-CBN ang trabaho ng mga mangagagawa na puwede rin i-consider na frotnliners sa pandemic ngayon," she said. "Silent 'yung aming resolution tungkol sa House pero... in a way, it's a reiteration. May pagdidiin lang sa pagrereconsider ng NTC," she said.
Senators will have to study if they have to pass a law that will guarantee continued network operations while a franchise application is pending in Congress, Hontiveros said.
