Open Letter of Martin Nievera For Congressmen & Congresswomen over ABS-CBN Issue
MARTIN NIEVERA – Kapamilya Concert King Martin Nievera took to the social media an open letter for the lawmakers over the ABS-CBN issue.
The franchise of the ABS-CBN network has yet to be renewed and hearings about the issues surrounding the network are still ongoing. To note, it was during the first quarter of 2020 when the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a Cease and Desist Order against the network.
Immediately, the Kapamilya network’s broadcast operation went off air. For several weeks while the country is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, the operation of some fields of the network stopped.
It was just recently when some of the programs under the ABS-CBN network went back to airing. They aired through Sky Cable and Kapamilya TV Plus but had to stop after a new NTC order was issued.
