In the continuation
from last week’s joint congressional inquiry of the House committee on
legislative franchise and of good government and public accountability concerning
the new application of the ABS-CBN Corporation new legislative franchise its
chairman emeritus Gabby Lopez was there to answer
the different querries and questions of the Congressmen.
The same as last
week, the congressmen grilled the ABS-CBN top boss regarding his dual
citizenship to which he admitted last week.
Rep. Rodante
Marcoleta a fierce critic of the franchise application of a new franchise for
the Lopez controlled corporation demanded to Lopez to recite the first line of
the “Panatang Makabayan,” to prove his allegiance to the Philippines.

As we all know kids in
school and in government offices are made to recite such oath during flag
ceremonies.
Ganito na lamang po,
para matapos tayo sa issue ng allegiance, mawalang galang na po, Mr. Lopez,
pwede ba naming hilingin sa inyo na i-recite ninyo ang unang linya ng Panatang
Makabayan?” Marcoleta asked
Lopez.
And while waiting for
an answer from Lopez, Marcoleta told Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Carlos Zarate
at the plenary: “Congressman Zarate, baka gusto mo ng tulungan.”
Zarate is part of the
MAkabayan bloc who always criticizes the policies of the Duterte
administration.
The Partylist solon visibly did
not like what was asked of him and requested to strike such statement from
Marcoleta.
As the two lawmakers are arguing, Lopez blurted in saying “Iniibig ko
ang Pilipinas.”
Following a brief suspension of the hearing,
Marcoleta however accuse Lopez’s lawyer coaching him on the first line of
“Panatang Makabayan.”
