4. Hontiveros backs ABS-CBN provisional permit, slams Calida for ‘misplaced priorities’

Nakakabahala na habang nasa gitna tayo ng krisis ay pinapatigil mismo ang operasyon ng ABS-CBN.

Ngayon pa habang napakahalagang maihatid ang mga impormasyon na dapat malaman ng publiko tungkol sa COVID-19 at sa mga programa na makatutulong sa kanila.

8. Ungrateful! Noynoy Aquino rejected early franchise renewal of ABS-CBN — Locsin

Noynoy refused to renew the franchise. Was he wrong? Yes & ungrateful. I wanted Lopezes to get it renewed under him because he owed his election to their stupendous coverage of Cory's funeral. And he escapes blame? Maybe he had a negative—even if I believe wrong—view of ABSCBN. https://t.co/tQvEWxBywh

9. Trillanes mocks Cayetano’s silence on ABS-CBN shutdown: ‘Kaya mambola maghapon pero tikom ang bibig sa franchise bill’

Si Alan Cayetano, isang taong kayang magsalita at mambola maghapon, ay ilang araw nang tikom ang bibig ukol sa pag-upo ng Kongreso sa mga franchise bills para sa ABS-CBN. #NoToABSCBNShutDown

10. Why reopen tax-evading POGOs? They pose a risk to public health, safety – Hontiveros

Nakakadismaya na inuna pa nating ibalik ang mga POGO workers sa trabaho kaysa ang mga kapwa Pil.

PAGCOR should explain why it moved to recommend the opening of POGOs while there are vehement opinions & serious concerns against them. Bakit parang nagmamadali, e naka ECQ pa tayo?
