Panoorin: Atty. Gadon, Bumwelta sa Abs-cbn Franchise Renewal: ‘Wala sa Batas iyan!’

At the beginning of 2021, Senate President Tito Sotto is filling a bill to give ABS-CBN a franchise renewal. According to the senator, the quality of the television programs is declining due to the absence of the Kapamilya network.

The competition between mass medias is gone due to news programs that has been replaced by anime or Japanese Cartoons.

Well-known Lawyer Atty. Larry Gadon questions Sotto's reasoning. According to the lawyer, it is not the duty of the senate to judge the quality of the television program.

Atty. Gadon inevitably compare the senate to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

Gadon added that Sotto's move does not seem to be in law because franchise bills should come from congress.

“Isa ako sa mga unang-unang nagreklamo do’n sa renewal ng prangkisa ng ABS-CBN. Unang-una, itong hakbang ng senado na ito, wala sa batas ‘yan sapagkat all private bills and franchise bills should emanate or originate from the house of representatives… Sinasabi ng 6 na mga senador na hindi na raw maganda ang mga programa sa television ngayon nang mawala ang ABS-CBN. Abah! Kailan pa ginawa na ang konsepto ng Senado ay maghusga kung ano ang maganda na mga TV show? Dapat sabihan nila ang MTRCB na ayusin ang bagay na ito. Ganun ba kababa ang role ng senado na mamrurblema sa mga TV shows? Kung ang nais ay magkaroon ng educational, informative, instructive, cultural, developmental, o may moral development na programa, e di lagyan ng EAT BULAGA ang lahat ng istasyon,” said Atty. Gadon.
