Gadon Calls Out Cayetano for Allegedly Railroading Provisional Franchise of ABS-CBN
ABS-CBN – Atty. Larry Gadon said House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano launched the alleged railroading of ABS-CBN’s provisional franchise.
After 65 years of service, the largest media network in the Philippines, ABS-CBN went off the air on May 5, 2020. Loyal viewers and their employees were shocked by its untimely closure.
The lawmakers who authored the bills on the tv network’s franchise bid urged House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano to start the committee hearings. Lots of people blame Congress for not immediately working on the Kapamilya networks’ franchise applications.
Recently, Lawyer Larry Gandon called out Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano for allegedly railroading the bill that would allow the media network to reopen. He said Cayetano allegedly violated the constitution because he acted the first and second reading on the same day.
“Ipinilit ni Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano ang pag bigay ng pagpa-apruba ng House bill na kanyang inisponsor na ifinile nya kahapon lamang at ifinile nya 30 minutes before the session. Doon ay no-railroad nya, binilisan nya at umabot ng second reading na maipasa nila yung house bill,” he said.
Atty. Larry Gadon called for the resignation of the house speaker for leading his fellow lawmakers to commit such violation. The critic lawyer also accused Cayetano of violating their own rules just to grant ABS-CBN’s provisionary franchise.
Gadon said the speaker should have given all the congressman a time to review the bill. He asked if it is really necessary for the House Committee to pass the bill right away. The video was shared on Trending 101 Facebook Page.
