President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday said he is personally against the renewal of franchise of media and entertainment giant ABS-CBN Corp., which he had accused of swindling him.
The president’s fiery remarks are the latest in what critics call a string of verbal attacks against dissenting media.
In an expletive-laden speech, Duterte targeted ABS-CBN anew for “stealing,” in apparent reference to his previous allegation that the media conglomerate failed to air his political advertisements during the election campaign in 2016, even though these were already paid for.
He added that the Lopez family, the owners of the broadcast network, had been sending emissaries to his office to negotiate, but he refused to talk to them.
“Now, ABS-CBN, their franchise is due for renewal... But I will never also intervene. But if I had my way, I will not give it back to you,” Duterte said.
ABS-CBN’s franchise expires in 2020. House Bill 4349, which proposes to extend the media giant’s franchise by another 25 years, is currently pending before the House Committee on Legislative Franchises.
Duterte first expressed his opposition to the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise on April 27, 2017, which came days after he signed a law renewing rival GMA Network Inc.’s franchise.
On March 30 last year, Duterte hit ABS-CBN and domestic newspaper The Philippine Daily Inquirer for their supposed “unfair” and “slanted” reporting of his administration, adding that “corrupt” media “ails the Philippine society.”

Opinion about sa franchise thingy madidiskaril ang DTV migration sa bansa, dahil sa mga banta ng presidente ng bansa na ikakansela ang prangkisa ng ABS sa 2020 for political motive. Samantalang sila pa ang may pinakamalawak na DTT coverage at malakas humahatak ng DTV migration sa bansa. While yung ibang network ay may limited coverage. Dahil sa kanselasyon ng prangkisa kung matutuloy ito ng walang alternative good DTT Channels. Maaring maudlot lang ang dtv migration at bumalik ang mga tao sa analog at hindi na magmigrate pa sa digital tv. Iisipin ng publiko na palpak o nagflopped ang DTV.
Hindi basta-basta pwede irush ang pagtatayo ng transmitter kasi milyun-milyon ang halaga ng transmitter. Bawat parts nito ay imported mula US, Europe, o Japan. Tapos may ihihire pa na foreigner para sa setup at precorrections.
Kaya kung anuman ang iringan ng gov at ng station mabuti pa na isantabi muna hanggang mag-full digital na ang Pilipinas para may choice na ang viewers sa panonood.
Edwardson Diestro reacts "Ang layo pa ng 2020. Sana magkaayos na sila in due time at huwag pairalin ang pride. Nahawa tuloy ang Prexy sa mga trolls about utang sa kanila ng gobyerno or whatever dahil sa maling info na galing sa kaliwat kanan na unknown netizens and even hoaxers as well. And take note minsan na rin may public service show si Duterte sa ABS-CBN Davao."
Chris Navarra asks "may 'digital platform' naman sila. Hahaha at marami pa silang balak hahahaha!"
Joey Josh says "I somehow agree kasi yung ABS-CBN lang ang very active for the migration. Im sure other networks will follow whatever will ABS-CBN do. Kung ma stop ang migration baka hanggang 2030 pa yan at hindi masunod ng deadline kung saan ibang bansa ay naka 4K na at tayo analog pa rin. This is not just an ABS-CBN issue but the entire industry."
