President Rodrigo Duterte made it clear his stand with regards to allowing NTC to grant ABS-CBN permit to operate. The House of Representatives is planning to restore the franchise of the Kapamilya network. Efforts to give ABS-CBN a franchise is being pushed by some congressman.
The President said ABS-CBN need to pay its taxes first or he will not give them license to operate.
In a report by CNN Philippines on its Twitter account, it reads as follows:
“Duterte on ABS-CBN franchise: Yung Congress is planning to restore the franchise… Wala akong problema doon kung irestore ninyo. But if you say if they can operate, no. I will not allow the NTC to grant them the permit to operate.”
“Duterte: Kung ibigay ninyo yung franchise because it is within your power to do it, go ahead. Unless and until, mabayaran ng mga Lopez ang taxes nila, I will ignore your franchise and I will not give them the license to operate.”
