ABS-CBN Corporation Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) Carlo Katigbak attended the House of Representatives committee hearing on its
franchise application
regarding the legislative franchise of the Lopez controlled corporation, and he
made clear that they are not creating the scenario that they are the victim just
to gain much needed from the public.
“May nagsasabi sa social
media na nagpapaawa lang daw kami. Sana po makausap ninyo ang isang tatay o
nanay na mawawalan ng hanapbuhay. Sana po maramdaman niyo ang takot nila kapag
iniisip nila kung papaano nila bubuhayin at papakainin ang kanilang pamilya,”
said Katigbak said in the House of Representatives.
“Hindi po kami nagpapaawa. Umaapila
po kami—ibalik niyo po ang ABS-CBN para maprotektahan namin ang 11,000 kong
Kapamilya at ang kanilang mga minamahal sa buhay,” he added.

Katigbak relates that
the ABS-CBN shutdown last May 5 was very painful considering that they relied
in the promise of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) that they
will still be broadcasting on a provisional authority pending the application
of the renewal of their franchise.
“Masakit po itong nangyari sa amin. Umasa po
kami sa hangarin ninyo at ng Senado na habang pinag-uusapan ang prangkisa,
hindi po kami mawawala sa ere. Sa pag-shutdown namin, marami sa ating mga
kababayan ang napagkaitan ng serbisyo ng ABS-CBN, lalung-lalo na sa panahon ng
pandemya,” said Katigbak.
“Nasa 70 million po ang nanonood sa ABS-CBN
bawat linggo. Kailangan nila ang balita para sa kanilang kaligtasan o hanapbuhay.
Habang hindi sila makalabas ng bahay, marami ang nangangailangan ng mga
programang nagbibigay ng saya, inspirasyon, tibay ng loob at pag-asa.
Milyon-milyong OFW din po ang umaasa sa ABS-CBN para maibsan ang kanilang
lungkot habang nagsasakripisyo para sa pamilya,” he added.
