Meanwhile, in a previous report, 13 Senators filed a bill to grant a provisional franchise to ABS-CBN on May 11 while the Congress is given the time to deliberate regarding this matter.
The franchise of the Kapamilya network expired on May 4 and a day after that, NTC issued the cease and desist order. Later that day, ABS-CBN complied but filed a petition to the Supreme Court against the order from NTC.
The petition has been raffled off to justice in charge on Monday, however, the result was not released by the SC.
