President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte will not be rethinking his stance regarding the non-renewal
of the franchise of ABS-CBN.
During
his talk in North Cotabato, he suggested to the ABS-CBN to just be sold as he
vowed to give its owners an episode they won't forget.
The
network station has been accused by the President of biased reporting and of
"swindling" him for not airing his campaign commercial.

"Your
contract is about to expire. You will try to renew it but I don't know what
will happen to that," the president said
"Kung
ako sa inyo ipagbili niyo na 'yan. Kasi ang mga Filipino ngayon lang makaganti
sa inyong kalokohan (If I were you, I would sell it. It's only now that
Filipinos would be able to get back at your wrongdoings). And I will make sure
that you will remember this episode of our times forever," he added.
The
Chief executive claims that previous Presidents of the country did not act
against the network giant because they were afraid of being retaliated upon by
ABS-CBN.
The
President was quoted upon when he said the network giant did not return his
money he paid for his campaign advertisement in 2016, even if such ad was not
aired. The President also accuse the network giant as magnifying “garbage”
stories being thrown by his critics from the other side of the political fence.
