Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on the House resolution on ABS-CBN Corporation

The decision of the House of Representatives Committee on Legislative Franchises denying the franchise application of ABS-CBN Corporation is a sole prerogative of Congress that we in the Executive recognize.

Much as we want to work with the aforesaid media network, we have to abide by the resolution of the House committee.
