"For those who continue to push the freedom of the press
card, Congress is not stifling the right of any journalist, host, commentator,
talent, or employee of ABS-CBN — or any Filipino for that matter — from
criticizing the government," Speaker Cayetano said.
"We simply put an end to the privilege of one family in
using a public resource to protect and promote their private interests,"
he added.
11,000 employees will be rendered
jobless, the Speaker of the House said the government wants a "better
and equal opportunities for all" which, to him, will not be possible with
an economy controlled by "less than 20 families in a country of 110
million Filipinos."
