There has been an on going issue regarding the franchise renewal of our local network ABS-CBN. It's a news and also an entertaining with documentary it's specialty.
I'm surprised that congress and senate themselves had to vote to have it's franchise renewed. Why can't DTI or related department to deal with this issue privately.
Well, some people wanted it shut down because of it's bias and incomplete reporting of the news and issues. Not to mention the mind conditioning of it's viewers, specially when it comes to political issues and elections.
But never I wanted in my life to have such network to shut down, I just want them to fair. Which I think will never happen. I think it will get worst if it happens.

I don't like ABS-CBN ever since but I hope they'll be given a chance to correct their mistakes or violations if ever there's any.
I don't know if DTI has a say or something to do with regard to the issue. Corporation is registered with SEC and not with them.

Hello @ZedSmart I totally forgot about the SEC. Yes, they're the one who's supposed to deal with this privately, not the law makers.

It's a simple thing. The government wants to control it. That's my observation. May be I'm right or not?

Hello @Nakitakona It's probably sensationalized, but it's probably revenge for all those bias news they've ever made.

@Letranknight2015 That's one of the many reasons against that network.
That's only in the Philippines.
