Ang administrasyong Duterte lamang ang magpapasara ng isang kumpanyang malaking katuwang natin sa gitna ng isang malubhang pandemic at magtatanggal ng libu-libong trabaho.
Paulit-ulit din na sinasabi ni Duterte na wala na tayong pera pero pinasara nila ang isa sa pinakamalaking taxpayer sa ating bayan. Samantala, muli nilang binuksan ang mga POGO na hindi nagbibigay ng trabaho sa mga Filipino at hindi nagbabayad ng buwis.
Hindi na nga nagawa ng gobyernong Duterte na mag mass testing, naisipan pa nilang mag mass firing. Kung kailan pa napakarami ng nawawalan ng trabaho at nagugutom, naisipan pa ng gobyerno na dagdagan pa sila.
EXPLAINER: Following the NTC‘s cease and desist order, ABS-CBN TV Channel, DZMM, and MOR went off the air on May 5, 2020 at exactly 07:52:08 pm — a historic moment for Philippine TV.
From KBO, tax issues, to foreign ownership, here's what you need to know about the media giant.

The Alto Broadcasting System - Chronicle Broadcasting Network (ABS-CBN) is the biggest television network in the Philippines and is the oldest in Southeast Asia.
In 1995, the network was granted a renewal of franchise through RA 7966 that gave ABS-CBN a 25-year authorization to broadcast until May 4, 2020.
Shortly after ABS-CBN shutdown order,House legislative franchise committee said to summon NTC officials to explain why they should not be cited in contempt.
The speedy reaction was in contrast to committee dragging its feet on tackling the franchise renewal. #NoToABSCBNShutDown

The Lower House, where franchise bills should emanate, had all the time in the world to deliberate on bills seeking to renew ABS-CBN’s license. These bills were filed since 2016, or even earlier, but lawmakers sat on them while President Duterte was attacking the network.
When Alan Peter Cayetano, a Duterte ally, became House Speaker last year, he evaded questions on when to schedule franchise hearings, saying deliberations would need to be “thorough”, without ever committing to a hearing schedule.
I seriously cannot understand why many people celebrate ABS’s shutdown. So, here’s a quick thread to hopefully enlighten you. ☀️
1️⃣ Your argument re: tax violations finds no grounds. Earlier this year, BIR & SEC certified to the effect that ABS incurred no such liabilities.

2️⃣ Your argument re: ABS’s noncompliance with franchise terms finds no grounds. No less than a Senate committee found that ABS has not breached any of its franchise terms, including labor conditions (certified by DOLE) and taxes (certified by BIR).

3️⃣ Your argument re: ABS being biased finds no grounds. Both our Constitution and settled jurisprudence frown upon prior restraint and subsequent punishment. Case law also lays down the clear and present danger rule as a standard.

Noon pa man, maigting ko nang kinokondena ang panggigipit sa malayang pamamahayag, kabilang na ang pagbabanta at pag-atake ng rehimeng Duterte sa ABS-CBN.
Ngayong nagtagumpay ang kasalukuyang gobyerno sa pagpapatigil sa operasyon ng ABS-CBN, hindi nangangahulugang magwawalang-kibo at mananahimik na lang tayo. Lalo lang dapat nitong palakasin ang ating paninindigan at pakikipaglaban para sa malayang pamamahahayag.
Magkaiba man ng bakod, we are one in the media industry. We have one love for the many talents and crafts under this Network, the products and output of which, directly or indirectly, benefit the lives of millions of Filipinos.
Rep. Atienza of @buhayparty_list in his speech yesterday at the Congress, said that: “Inaction will only spell the weakening of the foundations of our democratic system. If Congress will not take action, Rep. Atienza added:
“this Congress is really paralyzed with inaction; and we should not be deserving to be called representatives of the people.”
