MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The statement released by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF ELCAC) regarding the franchise issue of embattled media network ABS-CBN Corp. is not an official stance of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) and the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson (OPS).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar and Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque issued the clarification after the NTF ELCAC commented on the ABS-CBN\u2019s shutdown.<\/p>\n

The NTF ELCAC, in a Facebook post, cited several reasons as to why ABS-CBN had to cease its broadcast operations on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It also blamed the ABS-CBN over the closure of its television and radio stations nationwide, leaving its 11,000 workers unemployed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAng istasyong ABS-CBN mismo ang dahilan kung bakit nawalan ng trabaho at kinabukasan ang libu-libo nilang empleyado<\/em>\u00a0(Thousands of ABS-CBN workers lose their jobs because of the station),” it said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NTF-ELCAC also argued that ABS-CBN failed to resolve the issues hounding the renewal of its 25-year congressional franchise which already expired on May 4.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It said the granting of the media network\u2019s new franchise was not approved because of unsettled legal issues.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAng request of franchise renewal ng istasyon ay disapproved, dahil sa legal issues na kanilang kinaharap sa nakalipas na mga taon. Ngunit, hindi ito inayos o ginawan ng paraan ng istasyon upang ituwid<\/em>\u00a0(The station\u2019s request of franchise renewal was disapproved because of the legal issues raised years ago. The station did not settle the issue),\u201d the NTF ELCAC said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Screenshots of NTF ELCAC\u2019s statement being shared by PCOO on its official Facebook page went viral on social media.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Andanar, in a press statement, said the PCOO\u2019s resharing of a posted content by NTF ELCAC on its Facebook page regarding the legal situation of ABS-CBN Corporation\u2019s broadcast license \u201dwas done without the usual vetting process of our office.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201dThat being said, the posted content is not in any way an official statement or an opinion of the PCOO. The issue regarding ABS-CBN Corporation’s network franchise remains within the purview of Congress,\u201d Andanar said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Roque also reacted to the NTF ELCAC\u2019s comment, saying his office does not share the same view.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201dWe wish to clarify that the above posts did not come from the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson and the NTF Stratcomms which is headed by the OPS. Hence, not the official statement of our Office,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ABS-CBN\u2019s broadcast operations halted Tuesday following the National Telecommunications Commission\u2019s (NTC) issuance of cease and desist order against the local media giant.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NTC ordered the closure of ABS-CBN\u2019s television and radio broadcasting stations following the expiration of the station\u2019s franchise on May 4.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ABS-CBN on Thursday asked the Supreme Court (SC) to nullify NTC\u2019s cease and desist order which \u201cviolates the right of the public to information and curtail freedom of speech, as well as cause serious and irreparable damage on ABS-CBN and thousands of its employees if its implementation is not halted.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Malaca\u00f1ang has repeatedly said it would leave ABS-CBN\u2019s fate to SC.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
