Is President Rodrigo Duterte ready to bury the hatchet with ABS-CBN?
Duterte appeared to have softened his stance towards the broadcast giant, which had often been the subject of his attacks, during a dinner he hosted for officials of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) on Tuesday (August 14).
In his speech, Duterte admitted he was hurt by the airing of the controversial political ad against him paid for and by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, a defeated vice presidential bet, in the run up to the May 2016 elections.
“That was really hurting. Kaya minsan I blurt it out but I have learned to live with it actually. Kung minsan mag-init lang ang ulo ko,” the President said.
“But let’s just understand each other, and let it pass. I said because let no man with no sin cast the first stone,” he added.
Duterte has frequently lambasted ABS-CBN over its alleged bias against him. He recently said that if it were up to him, the network’s franchise, due to expire on March 30, 2020, will not be renewed and and cease to broadcast.
The bill for the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise is still pending at the committee level at the House of Representatives.
