SP Sotto reminds Sen. Angara to respect GMA and TV5 amid ABS-CBN closure: Hindi lang ABS ang source ng balita!

Senate President Vicente Sotto III asked Senator Sonny Angara to show respect to the other television networks like GMA and TV5 after the closure of ABS-CBN.

During the Senate Session on May 5, Angara criticized the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for ordering ABS-CBN to close down.

According to Angara, the move of the NTC was against the Resolution 40 filed by the Senate asking the commission to give “provisional authority” to ABS-CBN to operate until May 4, 2020 to June 30, 2022.

“I just got the news that NTC issued a cease and desist order against ABS-CBN in contravention of the resolution passed by both houses of Congress, last March 11, that was our last big session before we vote for the recess, I think that was the day when the majority leader (Miguel Zubiri) infected me with the virus,” Angara who’s a COVID-19 survivor said.

Angara pointed out the importance of ABS-CBN especially during the COVID-19 crisis in the country.

“I just want to express my reservations regarding this because in the time of the virus people need to be informed by reliable sources, this is the time when we need reliable information and we decide to shut down one of the sources that are practically in the houses of every Filipino,” the Senator said.

“So where is the Filipinos gonna get this news now? From the internet where there’s a lot of fake news? From text where there’s a lot of spam text? Well, it is very disappointing on the part of NTC,” he added.

Sotto then responded to Angara, saying that the latter sounded that only ABS-CBN has the ability to deliver reliable news to the Filipinos.

“We do understand the point of Senator Angara, but perhaps we should give due respect to channel 7 and channel 5, it sounded like it’s (ABS-CBN) the only station that we can get our news from,” the Senate President said.

Senator Sonny’s wife, Elvira “Tootsy” Angara is one of the high-ranking official of ABS-CBN, working as an executive in the sales department of the television network.

On May 5, ABS-CBN was forced to sign off to comply with the cease and desist order by NTC against them.

Most of the Senators supported the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN and even asked NTC to allow the network to operate while the Congress is discussing the issues being faced by the television network giant.

Broadcaster Korina Sanchez-Roxas couldn’t stop herself from criticizing the public officials who pushed for the closure of ABS-CBN and also the netizens who are cheering for what happened to the Kapamilya network.

On her lengthy Facebook post, Sanchez criticized Solicitor General Jose Calida and revealed that the latter was close to her mother because they’re attending the same bible study session in the past.

Sanchez couldn’t understand why Calida suddenly became aggressive with ABS-CBN and she even asked the Solicitor General if he already changed his religious beliefs.

 “SolGen Joe Calida used to be very close to my Mom Celia Sanchez. They attend the same Bible Study. Sino na kaya ngayon ang Diyos ni Calida? Pilit pinapasarado ang ABSCBN kahit labag sa batas? Kelan at paano kaya pwede ipakulong ang mga totoong abusado?” Sanchez said.

@korina

Most of the followers of Sanchez expressed their support to the Kapamilya network, but some netizens chose to defend the decision of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) like @romelaigne.

“Anong abuso?? Wala na kayong franchise! That’s it! Sus!!” the netizen told Sanchez.

The veteran journalist made a short comment to ask the netizen to leave.

“@romelaigne Please leave. Bruha ka.” Sanchez said.

@korina

Another netizen, @thetheamae tried to defend the NTC’s decision, telling Sanchez not to underestimate the Philippine law.

She also mentioned the viral interview of GMA-7 with the Federation Of International Cable T.V. Association Of The Philippines (Ficap) explaining the issues being faced by ABS-CBN.

“Thats ok itama nlng ang mga mali.Plain and simple never estemated the Philippine Law. FICTAP interview made it clear na hindi ito tungkol sa ‘freedom of the press’, gaya ng nababasa ko sa mga coworkers mo. rather, ABS-CBN’s franchise controversy is an issue of ‘unfair competition’ which kills small broadcasting and cable operators, and the general public who’s been paying ABS-CBN for their services which violates for their ‘Free-to-air’ license. Ngayon lang sinusubukang itama, at nagkataon lang na mapapaso na ang franchise nila kaya nagkaroon ng ingay.stop blaming the Government!” @thetheamae told Sanchez.

“My family here are TFC subcribers for a decade and now we cant watch na din..be open minded nlng kasi may mga hidded agenda e,” @thetheamae added.

Sanchez also made a short comment to the netizen and suggested to check her grammar, or better use her native language.

“@thetheamae Oh Puhleeeez itama mo muna ingles mo o kaya magtagalog ka nalang kaya?” Sanchez commented.

@korina

On May 5, ABS-CBN was told by NTC to close down via a Cease and Desist order.

ABS-CBN quickly complied with NTC order and signed off around 7 PM yesterday.

Television host Bianca Gonzales shared the good news to the employees of ABS-CBN after the sudden closure of the Kapamilya network due to the orders of the National Telecommunications Commission.

On her Facebook post, Gonzalez revealed that despite being forced to shut down, the management of ABS-CBN vowed to continue paying their employees for the next three months.

“Our bosses in a live chat with employees after broadcast ended: For the next three months, wala pong mawawalan ng trabaho due to retrenchment. Active ang lahat ng benefits, including medical, sa panahon na ito,” Gonzalez said.

“Never been prouder to be a Kapamilya,” she added.

The post of Gonzalez has gone viral on social media and some of the people who saw the tweet of the television host are relatives of some contractual employees of ABS-CBN.

According to them, they’re hoping that the contractual employees of ABS-CBN are also included in the plan of the network’s management.

Netizen @REALPrinceJoson told Gonzales that his stepfather is working for the Kapamilya network for 17 years already, but until now he’s still not a regular employee of ABS-CBN.

He’s hoping that his father was included to the people that would receive aid from the network.

“Hello Ms. @iamsuperbianca , my step father is working for ABS-CBN under Star Cinema. Almost 17 years na siya as Generator/Mechanic/Driver. Sa loob ng long period of time hindi parin siya nareregular ng ABS-CBN (17YEARS). 1/2,” Prince Joson said.

“Sa totoo lang po hindi lang naman po si ABS-CBN ang may ganyang practice. Marami pong ibang malalaki pang kumpanya sa hindi nagreregular sa mga empleyado nila or contractual kung tawagin. Sana po huwag nilang kalimutan ang mga maliliit nilang mangagawa at ituloy parin ang sahod,” he added.

Another follower of Gonzalez, @arien0425 told the television host that her father was working as a crowd control for ABS-CBN, however he never got a single centavo from the network amid the enhanced community quarantine being implemented by the government.

“Sana po kasama yung mga crew na no work no pay, my father is a crowd control and he never got a single centavo from the network during the past month They only got a P1500 that was given from some of the artist last week, more than a month after the quarantine,” @arien0425 tweeted.

Meanwhile, another employee of ABS-CBN told Gonzales that the television host should not share information about the live chat.

“Hi Ms. Bianca! I hope you notice me. I’m an employee of ABS, too. I also watched the Chat with MLL and CLK. As far as I know, per Sir Robert Labayen, the discussion was for employees only and di pwede irecord/ilabas. Thank you po!” she said.

To prove her claims, she even posted a clip from the video teleconference.

As of writing, the post of Gonzalez already reached 77,600 likes on Twitter.

One of the biggest stars of ABS-CBN reacted to the closure of his home network due to the order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

‘Ang Probinsiyano’ leading star Coco Martin couldn’t hide his anger towards the people behind the closure of the Kapamilya network and posted a lengthy message against them on his social media account.

According to his Instagram post, Martin said that he should already speak against the people who wanted to close down ABS-CBN, saying that he’s not even sure if he’s going to survive the pandemic.

He’s hoping that the people behind the closure of ABS-CBN are now happy and celebrating.

Martin then called them out for having lack of conscience for still pushing to shut down ABS-CBN that could resulted to the lost of 11,000 jobs.

“Tutal wala naman kasiguraduhan kung buhay pa ako pagkatapos ng pandemic na ito. Tama lang na masabi ko ang mga saloobin ko. Sa mga taong pilit nagsulong sa pagpapasara sa ABS-CBN, sana ay panatag na panatag na ang kalooban niyo. Sana nagdala ito ng lubos na kaligayahan sa mga puso ninyo. Mahirap magsawalang-kibo sa mga taong katulad ninyo na patuloy na nang-aabuso,” Martin said.

“Wala kayong mga konsensiya, naatim niyong pagkaitan ng hanapbuhay at pabayaang magutom ang ilang libong mga pamilya! Lalo lang lulubog sa kahirapan ang mga Pilipino! Ito ba ang serbisyo niyo sa bayan?” he added.

Martin said that he’s already done of being diplomatic and now he’s going to speak the language that the ABS-CBN critic would understand.

He believed that the actions against ABS-CBN is unfair and should be corrected.

“Hindi ako mangingiming sabihin ang totoong nararandaman ko ngayon. Sa mga taong tulad niyo na hindi karapat-dapat pakitaan ng diplomasya at pagkamalumanay. Ang dapat sa inyo usapang sanggano at walang-hiyaan! Galing ako sa hirap at jologs ang pagkatao ko, kaya wala akong pakialam ngayon kung anong sasabihin ng ibang tao.” he said.

“Hindi man ako kasing talino ng iba, alam ko at malinaw sa akin na MALI at KAWALANG KATARUNGAN ang tanggalan ng hanapbuhay ang ilang libong empleyado ng isang kumpanyang naglilingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino ng ilang dekada!” he added.

Before he ended his post, Martin mentioned Solicitor General Jose Calida and the members of the NTC thanking them for fooling the Filipino people.

“Maraming maraming salamat Solicitor General Joe Calida at sa bumubuo ng National Telecommunications Commission sa kontribusyon niyo sa ating bayan! TINATARANTADO NINYO ANG MGA PILIPINO!!!” he said.

Several members of the House of the Representatives slammed Calida for trying to pressure NTC not to let ABS-CBN continue its operations.

The franchise issue of ABS-CBN started when President Rodrigo Duterte to criticize the said television network and even vowed not to let them renew their franchise.

Two months ago, President Duterte accepted the apology from ABS-CBN management, however, he said that the future of the network is still up for the Congress to decide.

“I tell you, I am not going to interfere, wala talaga,” Duterte said.

Comedian Jose Marie Viceral also known as Vice Ganda said that not only the employees of ABS-CBN but also the whole Filipino nation could suffer because of the closure of the Kapamilya Network on May 5.

Viceral joined the other celebrities who expressed support to ABS-CBN after they were forced to stop their operations on May 5 because of a Cease and Desist Order filed by NTC against them.

He called the action against ABS-CBN as cruel, because the information being brought by the Kapamilya network was needed especially amid the COVID-19 crisis.

“Di lang ang network at ang mga empleyado ang kawawa kundi ang buong bansa at lahat ng Pilipinong napagkaitan ng kailangang kailangang serbisyo sa oras na ito ng pandemya. ANG LUPIT!” Viceral said.

“Lord God i believe in you and your power. Alam ko pong nakikita nyo ang lahat. Kayo na po ang bahala sa amin at sa kanila,” he added.

Two months ago, Viceral expressed fear over the possible closure of ABS-CBN.

“Ikalulungkot ng higit na nakararaming Pilipino sa Pilipinas at sa buong mundo kung isasara ang ABS-CBN. #NoToABSCBNShutDown,” he tweeted.

Last year, Viceral even made a joke about the Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy after the latter claim that he stopped a quake in Mindanao.

“Nako, kabahan si Cardo! Ang pinakakalaban ni Cardo, ang feeling ko, si Quiboloy. ‘Yung nagpahinto ng lindol. Si Quiboloy lang ang magpapahinto ng ‘Ang Probinsyano,’ abangan niyo ‘yan,” Viceral said.

“So ano, Quiboloy, hinahamon kita, ipahinto mo nga ang ‘Probinsyano!’ Napahinto mo pala ang lindol, e. Napakayabang niyo pala!” he added.

As response, Quiboloy said that Viceral should be careful of what he wish for.

“Ikaw, magpili ka, kelan mo ba gustong mai-stop? Isang buwan? Dalawang buwan? Tatlong buwan? Apat na buwan? Ikaw, pili ka.” Quiboloy told Viceral.

“Baka sa apat na buwan, hindi lang yung Probinsyano ang mai-stop, baka pati yung network mo stop na ‘yan.” he added.

On May 5, ABS-CBN followed the order of NTC to close down their operations.

The order will cover 42 television stations nationwide, 18 FM stations and 5 AM stations.

“Millions of Filipinos will lose their source of news and entertainment when ABS-CBN is ordered to go off-air on TV and radio tonight (5 May 2020) when people need crucial and timely information as the nation deals with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said ABS-CBN Corp. in a statement. 

“This is in compliance with the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) today that prohibits ABS-CBN from continuing its broadcast operations effective immediately,” it added.

The Kapamilya network also reminded the public about their contribution amid the COVID-19 crisis.

“ABS-CBN has been providing comprehensive news coverage on the public health crisis and working with local governments and the private sector in providing food and basic goods for those in need through its “Pantawid ng Pag-ibig” campaign. To date, it has delivered over P300 million worth of goods for the benefit of over 600,000 families affected by the enhanced community quarantine,” the network said.

According to him, despite being forced to close down, ABS-CBN reporters including him would not be silenced by the said attempt against the freedom of the press and democracy.

“Hindi man na-renew ang aming prangkisa, at ipinatitigil ang aming broadcast, nangangako po kami sa inyo na hindi kami mananahimik sa pag atakeng ito sa ating demokrasya at sa malayang pamamahayag,” the veteran journalist stated.

“Sa pinakamalaking dagok at hamon sa aming kumpanya at sa mga aming hanapbuhay, hinding hindi namin kayo tatalikuran kabayan, mga kapamilya kami, tayo ang ABS-CBN, in the service of the Filipino people, saan man sila naroroon sa buong mundo,” he added.

“If the NTC chooses to succumb to the pressure of the Solicitor General, and disregard the commitments they gave under oath, we reserve the right to call them before Congress and explain why they should not be held in contempt,” he added.

“Sinabi ko na sa inyo na kung may gagawin kayo, ‘wag sa panahon ko… sinabi ko na noon pa, sinabi ko na sa kanila,” Duterte said.

The President asked the Mayors to supervise their local officials to prevent any form of corruption during the distribution of financial aid.

“Katulad nalang nitong si Kagawad Danilo Flores ng San Agustin, Hagonoy, Bulacan, ang p*t*ng in* m* nakuha ka pa ng television na hinihingi mo (yung SAP),” Duterte said.

“Ikaw may trabaho ka na, kagawad ka, ang p*t*ng in* kukunin mo pa yung pera ng mahirap, I’d like to presume that you were elected because your constituents find you to be a man of integrity and honesty and you can perform,” he added.

Flores was sacked by the members of the Hagonoy, Police yesterday.

The Kagawad is now facing charges for violation of Sec. 3(b) RA 3019 also known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
