Just in, PH House Committee decides to deny the request for renewal of ABS-CBN franchise.
PS: This blog does not intend to harm or violate any government rules and regulations. This is only for sharing my personal views and opinion.
Here you go..
I believe that ABS-CBN deserves a second chance. We all are. Yes, I do not have any proof that they indeed violate some laws but upon watching and witnessing some committee hearings - there's no proof of violations. Here are my insights:
First, as what ABS-CBN attorney said, if it's not in the law, it's not a violation. This means that being a dual-citizen does not violate any laws in owning a franchise here in PH.
Second, if your parents are Filipinos by birth or even one of them, you are indeed a Filipino. The law does not state anything about it I guess and every Filipino is aware of it. That means that Lopez is a Filipino.
Third, if ABS-CBN indeed violates tax payment, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) will or should file a case against them. Like the case of Manny Pacquiao. BIR filed a complaint against Manny Pacquiao in March 2012 for his alleged failure to submit complete tax records for 2010. But I think, they didn't.
These are the main issues raised by House of the Committee for not allowing ABS-CBN renew their franchise. If you watched every hearing, be sure to check your temper, you'll have a headache and you might explode while watching it. These are some Filipino comments:
- Tanong ba talaga yan?
- Ang gulo nyan magtanong!
- Paulit-ulit nalang yung tanong, di ba sila nakikinig?
- Di muna patapusin yung isa, nagsasalita na agad! Di pa naman nya oras!
I'm glad that they made it live so that people witnessed how the hearing goes. 😃
However, watching the way how ABS-CBN releases their news, I agree that they are antigovernment. Or should I say, anti-Duterte.
Yes, there is bad news that needs to broadcast specially if it's about politics. But the way ABS-CBN addressed it, it's really anti-Duterte:
See the big difference between two different broadcasting station?
This was posted in Facebook. I'll let you judge it.
I am a Kapamilya but I am against the way they release news. I love Duterte and I really believe in the way he manage PH.
Let this be a lesson to everyone that in humanity, no one is above the law. But let this also be a sample that not every government official thinks with their brain. 😃
To my dear ABS-CBN, comeback stronger but I hope that this time, you'll help the government achieve success. Not the one who oppose everything that Duterte does. He only have less than two years. But No matter who became our President or who will lead PH, support and advises are best that opposing everything they do.
