@abscbnnews - Pinatay ang #ABSCBNfranchise sa gitna ng pagharap ng bansa sa #COVID19 pandemic. Patunay ito na inuuna pa ng mga nasa kapangyarihan ang kanilang mga pansariling interes kaysa ang kapakanan ng sambayanan, buwelta noon ni Senador Risa Hontiveros. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHyn9LM4fN/?utm_medium=tumblr

“To think is sacred; let every person think freely! To express what you think is sacred; let every person express his thought freely! If you do this, you prove that you are a conscientious and a moral human being! If you don’t do this, you just declare yourself being fascist!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

Shutting down the country’s largest media network is like depriving the young and future generation of the childhood that you enjoyed. How selfish can a person be to do such, right? Apparently, the House Committee that decided to reject the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise are the kind of people who decide on things hastily.

As Rep. Abante said in an interview “that should bear on their own conscience”. These 70 people who voted against the renewal of the franchise, paved way for the 11,000 employees of the network to get laid off. It’s funny to think that it took 70 people to end 11,000 people’s livelihood in a snap. The irony stinks from every corner of the house committee; these people who are elected as public servants ended up as the reason of thousands of families in constraint.

Where’s the heart in public serving? Rejecting a large network because of their flaws as an organization is hypocrisy. No organization is perfect, they should know better because they are in a place where imperfection is prevalent. They are no saints, some of them have even committed to worst things than the violations of ABS-CBN. The house committee should have pushed aside their personal sentiments for the sake of the Filipino people, because without the Filipino people, they won’t have the authority that they are enjoying right now. The rejection of the renewal of the franchise leaves a bad taste in Philippine History.

Suddenly, it’s like we are down memory lane. The event is like a reenactment of what happened during the Martial Law. This was the first time that ABS-CBN shutdown, because of the President’s take over all media mediums. One pillar of Philippine Media is being torn down by politicized minds. The house committee can deny the fact that the decision is politicized but they cannot hide the fact that when one looks back to this time, all that they will think of is an ugly part of the history; as Rep. Fortun stated “History would not be kind to House of Representatives.”

A journalist’s world became darker. The 18th Congress suddenly became an enemy of democracy. The rejection of the renewal of franchise is a clear curtailment of press freedom. “This chamber has lost all claim to represent the people and our interests,” the NUJP said in a statement.

The Filipino people should be awakened by this event in our history. They should not forget the names and faces of the 70 members of the Congress that decided to be against democracy. It should be taken seriously that these people do not represent the people’s interests. They prioritized their own sentiments and used public resource as their way of attaining their “own kind of Justice.”

My opinion about this network will never change. You as a network and specially the news of your network to be a none bias. But what happen since Cory took over the presidency seat until the last government??....And now that change has happened to the government all the negativity you can dig up and broadcast even if the reason was meaninglessness your putting out their. This is a fight of your network, not a fight of all pilipino people. #ABSCBN #ABSCBNFranchise #myopnion #timeforchange (at Dubai Industrial City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjfQ8DBLXcARJrlt2q36fxr0jcaw_qIevUvEI0/?igshid=83hkigctizra

I TURNED 20

youtube

I was almost not going to post this video due to what’s happening in our country. I feared something terrible would happen if I used my voice to take a stand. However, I realized later that the only terrible thing I could do is to not be vocal about what’s happening, to choose to turn a blind eye, to choose my fear over what is actually courageous, to choose silence. This point in time has stirred something within all of us. I’ve seen it in social media posts that more people are paying attention now than they were a year ago. I know because I was one of them; the ignorant and the privileged. And I guess as of now, I no longer have the luxury to be that way. Please do take the time to educate yourself. Don’t be afraid. This is something we all have to do together.

@abscbnnews - Magpaligoy-ligoy man ang mga kumokontra sa #ABSCBNfranchise sa kanilang mga argumento, ang pagpatay sa prangkisa ng Kapamilya network ay pag-atake sa kalayaan sa pamamahayag, ayon noon sa Malacañang Press Corps. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHrtPjsmOB/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the most heartbreaking moments during the Covid-19 Pandemic!

A timeline of the events leading up to the closure of the ABS-CBN network

If you’re a Filipino, you probably grew up watching shows on the ABS-CBN channel. After all, they are the largest media conglomerate in the country. Numerous television and radio stations are under their umbrella—including ABS-CBN, ANC, Cinema One, Myx, and My Only Radio. They are a fixture of Filipino pop culture, and serve as a source of news and information for millions. It’s no surprise that the decision of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to issue a cease and desist order against the network shocked many Filipinos.

But even before the network signed off on May 5th at 7:52pm, the media giant was already subject to multiple threats. Their franchise was pending renewal at the House of Representatives since 2014, and three iterations of congress have left these bills untouched.

In November 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte publicly announced his objection against the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise during a ceremony in Boracay. He attributes this to the network’s failure to air his political campaign ads in 2016, as well as the broadcast of Senator Antonio Trillianes’ advertisement. The latter was controversial for criticizing Duterte’s demeanor and remarks. He also called the company “thieves”.

Known presidential ally and Senator Bong Go reaffirmed Duterte’s stand on the network during a hearing in February 2020. Go stated that while the president is “not vindictive”, the president was hurt by the fact that the political ads did not make it to air. He also showed Trillianes’ clip, which highlighted Duterte’s controversial remarks on rape during the 2016 presidential campaign.

February 24, 2020

The same month, Duterte stated that he will leave the decision of the franchise renewal to the House of Representatives, after ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak issued an apology. Solicitor General Jose Calida then filed a quo warranto petition against ABS-CBN. Calida cites the network’s pay-per-view services as grounds for the petition, and also mentioned the network’s ties with foreign companies. According to the petition, “criminal liability is also imposed on those who violate foreign equity restrictions and evade nationalization laws of the Philippines through various modes of proxy arrangement”.

On February 24, congress finally began tackling the issue of renewing the franchise. Multiple government agencies and offices stated that the network made no violations. This means that the company had no pending tax requirements and that the network’s pay-per-view services are covered by franchise laws. The Senate hearing concluded that no breaches were made against the law.

The NTC then stated that they may issue a provisional authority to the company, allowing them to continue operating while congress tackles franchise renewal. Calida then fired back at the NTC on May 3rd, saying that the agency may be prosecuted for the act. Two days later, a cease and desist order was issued by the NTC, and the network went off the air the same evening.

Upon issue of the cease and desist order, social networking sites were filled with posts voicing out support for the network. Universities and organizations issued statements calling out the shutdown of the network as an act against press freedom. On top of that, people express concerns over the 11, 000 people whose jobs are at stake due to the situation.

May 5, 2020

At a time like the COVID-19 pandemic, the accessibility of information is crucial. For some parts of the country, ABS-CBN is the sole network whose signals are picked up by local antennas. While the company’s cable networks and online platforms remain standing, being able to broadcast at the local TV channel is important to ensure the wide reach of news and current affairs.

The closure of the network is a cause of concern for press freedom in the Philippines. As more and more news reports cast a bad light on the government, it remains to be seen if the powers that be will allow media outlets to be “in service of the Filipino people”.
