“I agree with Sen. Grace Poe that the denial of the Lopez’s franchise application for ABSCBN sets a precedent. And it is precisely the precedent we want to make – that the House of Representatives will never tolerate anyone, including oligarchs, who will abuse the system and cheat both the government and our people.” said Cayetano.
Cayetano also invited Vice President Leni Robredo and Poe to read the decision, rewatch the the hearings, and maybe come to understand that not breaking the law is not the same as obeying it.
“the only ‘chilling effect’ the denial has are on those who would abuse the system and hold cavalier attitudes towards our laws, and even the Philippine Constitution.” added Cayetano.
