“Unang-una: nakasalalay rito ang
karapatan sa pamamahayag ng ABS-CBN,” the detained senator said.
“Isa itong batayang karapatan sa
ating Saligang Batas na hindi maaaring ipagkait kaninuman, maliban lamang kung
may exceptional at mahigpit na kadahilanan, na walang-wala naman sa sitwasyon
ng ABS-CBN,” she said.
“Ito ang pinakamalaking rason kung bakit dapat na
maibasura ang quo warranto petition ng gobyerno laban sa nasabing network,” the
opposition senator said.
She added, “Mula sa simpleng mga payo sa buhay,
pamumuhay at relasyon, hanggang sa mga mabibigat na talakayan ukol sa mga isyu
ng bayan at mundo, umaaasa sa impormasyon at opinyon ang maraming Pilipino sa
mga programa ng ABS-CBN.”
A few weeks ago the Office of the Solicitor General
(OSG) filed a quo warranto petition asking the High Court to terminate the tv network’s
franchise for alleged abusive actions/violations of its 25 year old franchise.
De Lima said if the Supreme Court grants such petition, “the
constitutional right of the public to access to information might be curtailed
as ABS-CBN has a big hand on delivering news and public affairs that benefit
the people.”
“Kaakibat din dito ang karapatan sa
impormasyon ng publiko na pinoprotektahan din sa ating Konstitusyon,” she said.
