The Supreme Court (SC) is expected to tackle next week the petition of television network ABS-CBN which sought the immediate lifting of the National Telecommunications Commission’s (NTC) cease and desist order (CDO) that forced the media outfit to go off the air last Tuesday, May 5.

Once issued by the SC, the TRO would immediately stop the implementation of NTC’s CDO and allow ABS-CBN to resume its operations. Since 2016, it has sought the renewal of its franchise through several bills filed in the House of Representatives. The bills have not been acted upon by the legislators. But it said “this right is not threatened by the continued operation of ABS-CBN, as both the Houses of Congress have already expressed their intent and desire for ABS-CBN to continue its operation while the renewal of its legislative franchise is pending.”
