“You’re assuming that the franchise will be up
to 2022. Paano kung mayroon nang binigyan ang gobyerno. Kanino pa ibibigay yun.
Anong franchise pa ang ibibigay mo sa kanya?” he said when asked by reporters
Friday (July 10) on ABS-CBN’s chances of securing a franchise after Duterte’s
term ends.
Marcoleta said a franchise was a “finite
resource” that the government has to allocate to “deserving” applicants.
Since the frequencies
are owned by the government it may be granted to those who have applied for a
franchise and has met all the requirement in granting of such.
Politiko news website
believes that Iglesia ni Cristo is eyeing the ABS-CBN’s frequencies: five AM
stations, including DZMM, 18 FM stations and 42 TV stations, including Channels
2 and 23.
Lawmaker Marcoleta is
a member of the influential religious sect Iglesia ni Cristo headed by Eduardo
V. Manalo.
