The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a Cease and Desist Order against ABS-CBN ordering the network to stop its broadcast operation. ABS-CBNs legislative franchise expired last May 4, 2020.
NTC cited Republic Act No. 3846 or the Radio Control Law which states that “no person, firm, company, association, or corporation shall construct, install, establish, or operate a radio transmitting station, or radio receiving station used for commercial purposes, or a radio broadcasting station, without having first obtained a franchise therefor from the Congress of the Philippines.”
