00:00 In other news, the operator of SMNI, Panucalang i Revoke, was caught on camera.
00:07 On the other hand, the legal counsel of Media Network said that the fight is not yet over.
00:13 Mela Lasmora returned to the center of the news.
00:16 "Only work and no personal."
00:21 That's what House Speaker Martin Romualdez said after the camera approved the House Bill No. 9710
00:27 or Panucalang Pagbawi in the franchise of Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI.
00:36 "This unequivocally affirms that the special privilege of holding a legislative franchise
00:41 constitutes a right and duty to be performed by the grantee and is contingent upon the fulfillment
00:48 of legal ethical obligations to our nation."
00:51 "We are fulfilling the mandate given to us by the Constitution and the people.
00:58 There is no personal here, just work."
01:01 In the plenary session yesterday, the legal counsels reiterated that after hearing the issue for several months,
01:07 the various violations of SMNI have been proven, so it should be returned by the franchise.
01:14 284 voted in favor of the Panucala while only 4 abstained or did not vote.
01:23 "SMNI cannot be compared to the media and cannot be compared to the real media.
01:29 It is very far from the real media that verify their information and sources before they publish it."
01:37 "While freedom of the press is a fundamental right that should be protected,
01:41 it does not extend to the spread of misinformation and lies.
01:45 SMNI does not have the right to claim that the revocation of their franchise is an issue of press freedom."
01:52 At the same time, on PTV, SMNI again turned against the critics and their gate is not yet finished.
02:00 "We expect that this will happen.
02:02 So congratulations to all the congressmen because you really followed your wishes.
02:08 But the question is, is this over? No, this is not over.
02:13 SMNI is still going on. SMNI is not revoking because the Philippines has two bodies.
02:20 After the House of Congress, it will go to the Senate.
02:24 I'm hoping and expecting that the senators are smarter and have love for the country.
02:32 I'm hoping that the majority of senators will not be dictated by anyone."
02:39 For now, even though their operation on air is suspended,
02:43 according to SMNI, the next steps are already prepared under the visa of a court of the National Telecommunications Commission.
02:51 "They denied the motion to lift the indefinite suspension.
03:01 So what we will do is we will go to the court of the PDC.
03:07 The operation is still going on on social media.
03:09 It's still going on.
03:11 On other platforms, the radio is not there.
03:15 The radio and TV are stopped.
03:18 So there's no TV and no radio since the suspension."
