Vice President Leni
Robredo slams the 70 lawmakers that voted to deny the fresh 25 year legislative
franchise that was being renewed by the Lopez-controlled ABS-CBN Corporation.
According to the Vice
President instead of personal reasons and justification they should have
consulted with their respective constituents.
"Kaya nga representatives ang tawag, ikaw
dapat ang nagrerepresent ng mga constituents mo....pero ito talagang
nakakadurog ng puso," Robredo said in her weekly AM radio show.

[Translation: This is why you're called
representatives, you're supposed to represent your constituents...but this
incident is really heartbreaking.]
Robredo shared the
fact that even her, part of the political opposition agaist President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte and being the highest political personality from the Liberal Party
(LP) also experienced from being treated unfair by the Kapamilya network.
She adds despite the
unfair treatment to her, it is still not enough to deny their new franchise,
most especially now the country is facing a pandemic.
"Na-mention sa hearing na kahit ako
maraming ads na hindi na-air. Maraming pagkakataon na, lalo kaming naninilbihan
sa taongbayan, nararamdaman namin na hindi fair. Maraming mga taga-ABS-CBN ang
hindi naging fair sa akin," she said.
[Translation: It was even mentioned in the
hearing that I also had political ads which weren't aired on the network. There
were many instances, that even we, public servants, felt that it wasn't fair.
Some people from ABS-CBN were not fair to me.]
She added: "Pero hindi ito panahon
para magsingil ng personal na hinanakit. May mas malaking dahilan, may mas
malaking interest tayong pinaglalaban, interes ng lahat ng taong umasang
magtrabaho sa ABS."
[Translation: But this is not the time for them
to take advantage of personal grievances. There are bigger reasons here, bigger
interests that we should be fighting for, interest of the people who work for
ABS.]
