No thanks in order for Congress bill for ABS-CBN 5-month provisional franchise

House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano sponsored a bill that would provide ABS-CBN a 5-month provisional franchise and this was approved by the House Committee on the Whole. But this is hardly the solution to the problem.
This is hardly Congress doing their job as pending legislations for ABS-CBN’s franchise—11 to date—has been sitting in the dust for three years or since Duterte came to the presidency cursing and rambling against the network. No thanks or commendations are in order for them as they are still not doing what they should have done long ago.
Cayetano said he wanted time and didn’t want to “sweep under the rug” the allegations on ABS-CBN’s violations. He had all the time to do that before the nation was greeted by a black screen. They had to cause a network to go off the air, only due to Duterte and his minions’ sheer negligence, incompetence or vindictiveness.
