House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano explained the reason why the ABS-CBN cannot be renewed immediately after expiration on May 4.

During his lengthy sponsorship speech, he clarifies that before the renewal of franchise of the ABS-CBN it should be done through the process of congressional hearing to determine whether the TV Network deserves to be granted of the franchise or not citing several issues to be taken during the hearing.

As of the moment, the initiative of the Congress is to grant provisionary or temporary permit authorizing the ABS-CBN to broadcast until October 31, 2020.

Cayetano also answered reporter of ABS-CBN who repeatedly reminded him about his promise to turn on back if ever the ABS-CBN Network station is to be closed by force.

Cayetano quoted the reporter’s word saying “di ba sabi mo, ikaw mismo ang mag on ng transmitter kung sa pilitan isasara ang estasyon?”

The Speaker of the House Representative admitted that he said the lines accused to him by the reporter and pointing outside the hall where he actually promised to the reporter. But in his response, Cayetano said it was the ABC-CBN voluntarily sign off.

Cayetano explained that the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) cease and desist order was not an enforce demand for the Network to close. He said they can go to court to ask Temporary Restraining Oder (TRO) while they continue broadcast. He said it was just a notice and they still have time to do the process.

But Cayetano said he respect the management decision.

“I respect yung deskarte nyo, yan ang, yan ang nagging strategy, yan ang dicision nyo. Maybe you wanted yourself to humble before the law. Maybe gusto nyong magpa-awa, hindi ko alam. But I respect your decision,” he said.
