The Abs-Cbn and those complicit with them have a false sense of
victory with the dismissal by the Supreme Court of the Quo Warranto case filed
by Solgen Calida. In the quo warranto petition, the relief prayed for is the
cancellation of the franchise by virtue of the alleged violation by the Abs-Cbn
of the provisions of the Constitution and the terms of the franchise. However,
the franchise itself upon which the petition prayed to be canceled has died a natural death due to its expiration of
the period of its existence. Therefore, the Supreme Court has no alternative
but to dismiss the petition for being moot and academic or one that is
irrelevant.
Accordingly,
the application for renewal of the franchise by the Abs-Cbn now under
consideration before Congress would now be considered inapplicable. The Abs-Cbn
has to apply for a new franchise. In which case, it is as sure as the sun
rising in the East that the Abs-Cbn cannot be issued a franchise because Law
violators, lawbreakers, tax evaders, foreigners, thieves, and rogues are not
entitled to a franchise.
