ABS-CBN's Franchise Death rings the death knell of Press Freedom?

Ne Alawas Cadiog

JULY 10, 2020 marked the beginning of the death knell of Press Freedom after the House of Representatives tolls the ABS-CBN's franchise application to a dire conclusion. Voting with 70 yes, 11 no, 1 abstain, and 2 inhibits, the House of Representatives denies franchise renewal of the Kapamilya network.

Photo courtesy: PhilStar.com

Photo shows the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City on May 05, 2020 after the National Telecommunications Commission ordered its shutdown.

The network, which is the largest media conglomerate in the country, faced the threat of a network shut down due to its expired franchise on March 30, 2020.

This was when Solicitor General Jose Calida also filed a Quo Warranto petition in the Supreme Court against ABS-CBN claiming that the corporation is partly-owned by foreigners. ABS-CBN rebutted this claim saying that Philippine Depositary Receipts or PDRs do not refer to ownership, but rather, investments to sustain the corporation's growth.

After ABS-CBN being killed off-air, over 10,000 employees lose their jobs, and subsequent consequences may be feared. With the renewal of their franchise being blocked, organizations and journalists see this as proof of the vindicativeness of the government.

What are the violations of the network as stated in the argument debated over during the span of 12 hearings?

•Critics had accused ABS-CBN of illegal foreign ownership.

➡ Justice Undersecretary Emelline Aglipay-Villar testified in the hearings that ABS-CBN Corporation chairman emeritus Eugenio "Gabby" Lopez III is a Filipino because his parents are Philippine citizens, said Zarate.

DOJ: ABS-CBN's Gabby Lopez Filipino citizen from birth. Lopez earlier told congressmen that he was also a dual American citizen because he was born in the US.

"There’s no distinction made between pure Filipino and dual citizens" when it comes to participation in mass media, said Bayan Muna Party List Representative Carlos Zarate, quoting Justice Assistant Secretary Nicholas Ty.

The Securities and Exchange Commission also testified that "a dual citizen is 100 percent Filipino," Zarate added. SEC agrees, dual citizens are '100 percent Filipino'

• Accusation on the Foreign Ownership

➡SEC Commissioner Ephyro Luis Amatong, noted by Zarate, stated that ABS-CBN's Philippine Depositary Receipts "do not reflect transfer of ownership to foreigners."

PDRs allow foreigners to invest without violating PH laws, says Monsod ABS-CBN PDRs 'compliant' with law.

• On Tax Violation

➡Contrary to allegations of tax irregularities, the Bureau of Internal Revenue testified that the network regularly settled taxes and is one of the country's top taxpayers. In addition, Philippine Economic Zone Authority officials also said the broadcaster has no tax shield. BIR says ABS-CBN has no tax deliquency

•On allegations of election coverage bias

➡The Commission on Elections said the network did not violate any poll law. No complaints vs ABS-CBN on election bias.

ABS-CBN news chief Ging Reyes said that Journalism a 'public service'.

•Violation of Worker's Rights

➡Quoting the labor department, Zarate said that it was typical for any big company to face labor cases and that ABS-CBN complied with standards.

DOLE exec stated that ABS-CBN 'fully compliant' with labor standards.

Before the votation of the House of Representatives happened, the Technical Working Group (TWG) of the Committee on Legislative Franchises after their findings and recommendation which was contained in their 40 pages TWG report, recommends to deny new franchise for ABS-CBN. Consequently, 70 representatives vote "yes" to the denial of their franchise, while 11 representatives stand in favor of ABS-CBN franchise renewal; 2 inhibit, and 1 abstain.

The Battle for Press Freedom

Photo courtesy: Time Magazine

When Covid-19 hits the Philippines, the economy went down. The struggle for life, food to survive and the freedom to know has been crucial. News provides necessary information that we need to be able to understand the virus, to know what are the do's and dont's. But the government deprived this country the freedom to know when they chooses to imprisoned Miss Maria Resa and denying ABS-CBN to renew their franchise amid the Covid-19. "This is a big blow against press freedom in our country and deprived millions of Filipinos of new, entertainment and assistance!" Rodriguez said in a Viber message. (Cepeda, 2020)

There's no exact law that protect and uphold press freedom in the Philippines but there's the 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES – ARTICLE III. The Bill on Rights Section five says "No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances."

This is the reason why the Philippines is the fifth deadliest country for journalist (Salaverria, 2019) because it's not directed to protect the life and right of every journalist to press freedom disintegrating the media.

President Rodrigo Duterte has personally vowed to put the channel and its subsidiaries out of business, even telling its executives to just sell the company. He earlier also publicly spoke about his ire against ABS-CBN for not airing his political ads during the May 2016 elections, where he eventually won. However, Calida insisted that the case is not motivated by politics. (CNN, 2020)

Last May 4 the franchise of ABS-CBN has expired and the government denies for renewal because of the "network’s alleged violations of its franchise, the Constitution, labor and tax laws, and biased reporting and meddling in politics." (Dela Cruz, 2020) "The National Telecommunications Commission has since ordered it to cease its television and radio operations and to stop broadcasting its TV Plus and Sky Direct channels." (Cepeda, 2020)

When the dual citizenship of ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III was questioned, the Department of Justice confirmed he is both Filipino and American. Bureau of Internal Revenue officials also repeatedly told lawmakers that ABS-CBN had been paying the proper taxes in the past two decades. (Cepeda, 2020)

Even the defenders of ABS-CBN in the House of Representative insisted the network deserve a new franchise because the government officials cleared them of any wrong doing. Which is ironic because the government agencies contradicts the allegations of lawmakers.

The hearing ended with 70 votes denying the network for franchise renewal and 11 in favor, two inhibited and one abstained.

THE LONG FIGHT FOR FRANCHISE OF ABS-CBN: DENIED

Lyka E. Manalo

Amidst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Philippine TV Network ABS CBN was being shut down by the Government and other organizations related. In this kind of situation, Filipino people needs more information about the update and status of the unseen foe, covid-19. Does, the Government needs to focus more on important matters related to current pandemic than tackling in the shutdown of the TV network.

This year 2020, this is the second time that ABS-CBN has been ordered to shutdown again, May 05, 2020 it went off-air and also the DZMM and MOR. It’s quite dismayed some people, because now that we have been battling with the unseen enemy, Mass media really plays an important role. And considering the fact that ABS-CBN network is one of the most in demand TV network.

The decisions of the House committee handed their decisions lon July 10, 2020 on the fate of ABS-CBN whether their franchise will be approved or denied. And the decision was denied and not able to grant their franchise.

The following are the several issues or concerns that leads to the denial of the franchise of the ABS-CBN network.

📌Lopez’s dual citizenship

Lopez is a dual citizenship, both a natural-born Filipino and an American citizen. Philippines have constitutional provision stating that “dual allegiance of citizens is inimical to the national and shall be dealt with by law”. Mass media also must be 100% owned and managed by Filipinos.

📌Issuance of PDRs

-Philippine depositary receipts to foreigners allowed foreign ownership in ABS-CBN, which could have violated the 1987 Constitution.

📌ABS-CBN TV Plus Box, KBO pay-per-view

-According to NTC, there is no authorization from them on record allowing ABS-CBN to produce the TV Plus Box containing multiple channels, much less to sell it for profit.

📌Failure to regulize Employees

-The TWG report cited the Department of labor and Employment’s official statement on July 1 declaring that it’s labor standards by ABS-CBN and there are 67 pending cases against the company in the national Labor Relations Commissions (NLCR) and various courts.

📌Tax Issues

-ABS-CBN claimed it’s paying proper taxes, which is allegedly provem by the Tax Clearance is issued by the Bureau of International Revenue. They also maintained that it did not violate the terms and conditions of it’s legislative franchise by availing of tax incentives offered by the government. However, the panel said a tax clearance does not absolve a taxpayer of tax liabilities and delinquencies, nor from acts of fraud or tax evasion.

📌Biased Reporting and Meddling in Politics

-The committee has refrained from giving a finding on the alleged biased reporting of the network, alleged meddling in politics, as well as the content of it’s programs. Where does the Principle of press freedom, fair comment, and self regulation of media militate against any attempt at such ruling.

After the long fight of the ABS-CBN for their franchise, It was ended with 70 votes denying and refusing for their renewal of franchise. 11 are in favor, two are inhibited and one is abstained.

The following are the list who denied the franchise:

Chân dung ba trùm xã hội đen khét tiếng nhất ở Singapore

Dưới đây là 3 trùm băng đảng khét tiếng nhất ở Singapore.

Tan Chor Jin

Tan Chor Jin, cựu ông trùm của băng đảng Ang Soon Tong, được giới giang hồ biết đến với tên gọi "Rồng một mắt" khi mắt phải của người này bị mù.

Tan trở thành tâm điểm chú ý của cộng đồng sau khi giết hại Lim Hock Soon, chủ một hộp đêm, theo kiểu hành quyết tại chính nhà ông.

Vào chiều 15/2/2006, tên này đã xông vào nhà riêng của ông Lim với một con dao và một khẩu súng lục. Tan Chor Jin yêu cầu chủ nhà trói vợ con và người giúp việc lại trước khi nã 5 phát súng vào ông Lim.

Ông trùm "Rồng một mắt" đào tẩu sang Malaysia ngay sau đó cùng với đồng bọn tên Ho Yueh Keong. 10 ngày sau, Tan bị bắt giữ khi đang trốn ở khách sạn 5 sao Grand Plaza Parkroyal ở Kuala Lumpur.

Cảnh sát cũng đã thu giữ 6 khẩu súng lục, 203 viên đạn, 2 còng tay và 4 kg ketamine trong vụ bắt giữ. Số ma túy trên có giá lên đến 22.000 USD.

Tan bị cảnh sát dẫn độ về Singapore để xét xử. Phiên xét xử tiết lộ rằng tên này và nạn nhân là đối tác trong việc cá cược đua ngựa và bóng đá bất hợp pháp.

Ông bị tuyên có tội và bị tử hình bằng cách treo cổ vào năm 2009, khi mới 42 tuổi.

Vụ giết người khét tiếng của Tan được ghi lại và xuất bản năm 2015 trong cuốn sách "25 tội ác làm rúng động Singapore từ năm 1965".

Roland Tan Tong Meng

Roland Tan Tong Meng là trùm ma túy khét tiếng với biệt danh "Anh Cả".

Đây là người cầm đầu Ah Kong, một tổ chức tội phạm và đế chế ma túy có trụ sở ban đầu ở Hà Lan. Ah Kong thống trị việc buôn bán heroin ở châu Âu trong suốt những năm từ 1970 đến 1990.

Người này chết do một cơn đau tim vào tháng 4/2020 tại nhà riêng ở Copenhagen, Đan Mạch.

Roland bị truy nã ở Singapore vì tội giết người. Tháng 10/1969, ông cùng đồng bọn đã tấn công và đâm chết Lam Cheng Siew, một người đàn ông 31 tuổi.

Sau khi giết người, Roland tẩu thoát đến Malaysia trước khi đến Hà Lan. Cảnh sát từng treo thưởng 2.000 USD cho bất cứ ai cung cấp thông tin về Roland.

Vào những năm 1980, Roland chuyển đến Copenhagen (Đan Mạch) và xin nhập tịch Đan Mạch thành công.

Aw Teck Boon

Aw Teck Boon còn được biết đến với cái tên "Singapore Siao" - tức "Kẻ điên của Singapore". Trùm tội phạm này từng lãnh đạo một nhóm gồm 60 người trong hội kín Sio Kung Tong, nổi tiếng với thói bạo lực và nghiện rượu.

Vào đầu những năm 80 của thế kỷ trước, Aw bị bắt sau một cuộc đụng độ với băng nhóm đối thủ. Ông ta bị kết án 10 năm tù vì là ông trùm trong thế giới ngầm và có liên quan đến việc cướp có vũ trang.

Aw bị đâm chết năm 1999 ở Geyland (Singapore) bởi một người chưa rõ danh tính. Thi thế của Aw cho thấy không có dấu hiệu của xô xát, song có vết đâm ở cổ, nách và thắt lưng.
