Was ABSCBN singled out? This NTC Memorandum Order says ALL permits, including that of radio & TV are extended to 60 days at end of govt imposed ECQ.
Surigao Rep Johnny Pimentel says “ABSCBN is covered by this as memo states it includes all expiring w/in quarantine period”
Shutting down the #Philippines' biggest broadcaster, ABS-CBN, is like shutting down CBS, ABC or NBC in the US. It's unthinkable. But it's also not the first time: 1972 under President Ferdinand Marcos and martial law. @CBSNews is watching. 🇵🇭 https://t.co/JydzYaqpDM @ABSCBNNews
In solidarity with ABS-CBN, its employees, and the millions of Filipinos who depend on the broadcast network for information, DLSU lights up St. La Salle Hall in the colors of the company to appeal to NTC to grant provisional authority for the continued operation of the network.
Data collated from the previous 17th Congress and the current 18th Congress show both the House and Senate are quick to renew franchises of major broadcast networks – except ABS-CBN's. #CourageON#StandWithABSCBN#DefendPressFreedom#NoToABSCBNShutdown https://t.co/UkiWWoVDYY
"Today is a very sad day for us Filipinos..."
Surigao del Sur 2nd District Johnny Pimentel believes the cease and desist order vs ABS-CBN filed by NTC is an "offshoot" of SolGen Calida's warning vs granting provisional authority to the media giant.
Sen. Nancy Binay on NTC's order vs ABS-CBN: "NTC chooses to prejudice 11,000 employees who will be jobless by midnight. NTC denied them of their jobs & the millions of Filipinos who're looking for legitimate avenues to receive news. In these trying times, information save lives."
I legitimately choked up after watching the closing statements of Ted Failon, Bernadette Sembrano, and Kabayan Noli de Castro. I grew up watching ABS-CBN and it pains me to see this happening. I hope Congress acts immediately to renew its franchise! #NoToABSCBNShutDown
Just found out that Porquia was an LFS member during Marcos’ fascist rule.
Sobrang sahol! People who genuinely help the poor and needy are persecuted and murdered while fascist elements are on the loose, lumulusot sa kamay ng batas. Putang ina.
JUSTICE FOR JORY PORQUIA!
Activist and Bayan Muna Iloilo City coordinator Jory Porquia was shot dead this morning in Sto. Niño Norte, Arevalo, Iloilo City.
Porquia along with BAYAN-Panay had conducted feeding programs for poor communities affected by COVID-19 in Iloilo.
JUSTICE FOR JORY PORQUIA!
