The
“consuelo de bobo” has been given but the right to broadcast is off the table.

General Jose Calida in his first public appearance after the Supreme Court declared
moot the quo warranto petition filed by his office against the Lopez controlled ABS-CBN Corporation.
In

"The
OSG has not yet received a copy of the SC decision. Once a copy of the decision
has been obtained, the OSG will study the possibility of filing a motion for
reconsideration, if necessary, given the constitutional issue on foreign
ownership raised in the OSG petition," it pointed out.
Calida notes that the Lopez
controlled corporation must remain off the air since the cease and desist order
of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) remains valid because of an
expired franchise.
"It must be noted that in its
Cease and Desist Order (CDO) issued on May 5, 2020, the National
Telecommunications Commission (NTC) directed ABS-CBN to stop operating its
television and radio broadcasting stations nationwide absent a valid Congressional
Franchise required by law,” he said
Early
this week the High Court dismissed the Quo Warranto petition filed by the OSG
for bring moot and academic after the justices voted unanimously because of the
fact that the network’s franchise to operate has already expired.
