Let’s not color
outside the line here with a statement using sympathy and emotion that Coco
Martin sought to paint the government as unforgiving. Coco Martin is giving the
devil a foothold to the point he gets way too cocky and continues to showboat.
Coco Martin cannot feign ignorance the Abs-Cbn is a fraud that has amassed a
mountainous violation of its franchise that can easily rock anyone’s stomach.
In fact, the Abs-Cbn couldn’t stand the shame of what had been found out.
Mr. Martin was
just mouthing an empty cliché’ and stayed so tunnel vision at what he had
scoffed as a smokescreen to shift the blame on PRRD.
The time
machine revealed that it started in the 16th Congress of 2014 that the
franchise renewal started to be filed. The application was stalled due to the
opposition of the Cable Operators Association. Worst, Pnoy Aquino allegedly
advice Speaker Belmonte of the 16th Congress not to act on the franchise
renewal. Apparently, Pnoy got increasingly frustrated about the Abs-Cbn’s
negative news format making him a villain in the impeachment case of the late
Justice Corona; and the Mamasapano massacre.
After six (6)
years of gathering dust, the franchise expired. SC decision in the past is
clear. Only Congress can grant a franchise. The NTC cannot extend an expired
franchise and cannot issue a provisional authority to operate. When Congress
convenes and if Congress grants a franchise, then the franchisee can operate
again. But not until that happens, the Abs-Cbn’s fall from grace is now complete.
