President Duterte may sign into law the legislative enactment giving ABS-CBN a provisional franchise to resume broadcast operations until end-October 2020 if the measure adheres to the Constitution, Malacañang said Thursday.

Presidential spokesman Harry Roque recognized that the latest House measure is the only lawful move for the network to resume broadcast operations, citing the authority of Congress to grant or deny renewal of such franchise.

House Bill No. 6732 seeking to give ABS-CBN a provisional franchise until October 31, 2020 was approved on second reading by lawmakers. The bill is authored by Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and several other lawmakers. “It’s not only the best move, it’s the only move under our Constitution because it’s very clear po ‘no na tanging Kongreso lang po ang pupuwedeng mag-grant ng franchise or mag-revoke ng franchise para sa mga broadcast companies ,” Roque said.

Many groups, including lawmakers, media groups, and rights organizations, have expressed shock and dismay over the controversial shutdown of the network and called for prompt action to protect jobs, uphold press freedom as well as ensure access to public information amid the coronavirus emergency.

Off course it does not! Hahaha! Iyak nanaman sila niyan! WeDefendAsOne

It will still go back to the Constitution..Let's see who knows the laws fully well..

Alam na this🤪🤪😂😂 BigNo

Sana naman maparusahan ung mga artistang nag nagsakita ng Di magaganda sa pangulo natin, sana Di porket mga artist sila makakalusot sila sana maging action nila public figure sila sana naging maingat sila kawawa ang mga ordinaryong tao pag di sila naparusahan

nakapilantik,

Bat kaya paboritong pic ito ng manila bulletin kay attyharryroque 😂😂

kailangan botohan ito ng taong Bayan.. hahahha yes or no I am in or out... 😂 😂 😂

So it's a no 🤭

How long will it take ABSCBN to revise their disapproved franchise renewal application ba? All they have to do is conform to the laws and regulations.

Kung hindi labag sa batas period👌🤣 kaya hindi lulusot yang ginawa ni kawatano🤗

Very impossible. May questions of constitutionality na nga eh! 😂

Huwag po constitution ng China... ay wala pala....

As currently worded, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. The Lopezes would have to dish out more “favors” to convince both houses of Congress to override the veto. That means at least 16 Senators + 203 Congressmen for a 2/3 vote. Kaching, kaching!!!

alam naman antin na abugado c president du30, at mali talaga ung ginawa ni cayetano...wait nalang natin uli maspoil ung selebrasyon nila...

Siya nga hindi maka-adhere sa Consti e. 🤡

Nyahaha,,meron nga ba? 😂😂😂

Let us wait and see how all this ends...

🤷‍♀️waiting nlang s mangyayare.

yes sana sundin ang constitution..hindi komo mayaman papaburan!!

If they adhere to rules akin to lese-majeste?

If Duterte finds that it does not adhere to the Constitution, that means the lawmakers in the lower house are ignorants of the law of the land.

If Du30 approves the provisional franchise, abs-cbn will use its entire machinery & celebrities to muddle & confuse issues against it, influence public opinion & to attack & destroy Du30 & his administration.

Oha!

Ang headline picture .... Strawberry queen lol

wag ninyong asarin si spox roque baka lagyan niya ng 'not' after the word 'may'🤣🤣🤣

Panaginip lang ni KayaTano yun.

Tiklop din pala

alam kya ni Dutae ang 1987 consti?

Provisional franchise authority until 30th October 2020. Why? And not another full 25yrs Congressional franchise? Because, there is a pending probe request 'In Aid of Legislation' that shall tackle the network's violations, should there be any! fair and balanced, right,!☮👊😷🎙

He “may” sign, he “may” not. Don’t get too worked up guys

Sila lang naman nang gagago ng constitution tapos sasabihin pa yan. Hay naku masyadong mga timang!

Big no! Do you think he can control ABS CBend. Dapat putulan ng pangil ang ABS CBEnd. If President approves it then tupi rin pala siya sa mga oligarch. Nagpapagod lang tayo sa wala pakikipaglaban. Give ABS CBend & oligarch a lesson they will not 4get. YesToShutdownabscbn

Not a good choice of photo. Its bias being in journalism. Just saying...

What?!? If---it adheres to the Constitution?!? Eh sino kaya ang nauunang nambabalahura ng Constitution natin?🙄 mirror mirror on the wall.🙄

It appears this is going to be another QUO WARANTO case is in the future, hehehe!

Love the cover photo

bakit pag may balita involving roque ung mga pictures nya hindi maganda...haha

Short answer, NO.

Chos

asa pa kayo haha..

You mean it isn't?

He will still consult solgen calida😊

For sure he will! If only his request was approved by ABS-CBN for sure he will gladly sign the provisional authority. It is just a matter of give and take for both parties. 🙏🇵🇭

wala nabang matinong pic? hahaha

And that is a very, very big IF.

As IF.
