00:00 The camp of the hosts of SMNI, Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey K. Eric Celis,
00:07 filed a complaint of contempt order against them.
00:10 We are requesting the good committee to reconsider for humanitarian reasons
00:16 and for the spirit of Christmas, maybe they will reconsider that protest,
00:22 or that contempt order or that arrest order.
00:25 Badoy was condemned for lying to the House Committee on Legislative Franchises,
00:30 his partner, through the SMNI program.
00:34 Celis was also condemned for claiming that the source of the 1.8 billion pesos travel fund
00:42 is the House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:45 Celis admitted that this is false information.
00:48 According to their lawyer, Badoy and Celis started a hunger strike on Monday.
00:53 Badoy and Celis were last in line to the House Committee on Legislative Franchises
00:58 where they will appeal their detention.
01:01 The committee also invited the V.I.R. to clarify the SMNI program.
01:07 The committee passed a resolution to the National Telecommunications Commission
01:12 that suspended the franchise of Suara Zug Media Corporation,
01:17 the company that runs Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI.
01:23 Among the charges that were filed, the commission said that it is spreading false information
01:30 that is against the responsibility of the franchise owner,
01:34 asking for permission from the Congress to change the owners of the corporation
01:39 and sell 30% of their stocks to the public.
01:46 We will have to render a committee report and then the committee report will be voted upon by the committee
01:54 and this will be submitted to plenary for adoption.
01:57 We believe that there is no violation.
01:59 If there is a violation, at least we will comply with the given opportunity to comply.
02:04 The one who alleges has an obligation to prove that there is a violation.
02:11 There is a presumption of good faith on the part of SMNI.
