Looks like the key to all this talk about the ABS-CBN franshise and shutdown is FICTAP (Federation of International Cable TV Association of the Philippines). In a recent interview given to GMA 7, FICTAP President Neng Juliano Tamano explained the franchise issue clearly; not muddled by legalese most pro or anti administration lawyers were prone to.…
Remember that buried “news” item in the Washington Post where Regine Cabato wrote how Twitter shut down pro-Duterte “troll” accounts simply because they were pro-administration? Neither do I. But let’s do a quick recap. Back in April a Washington Post “live feed report” from Cabato stated that Twitter cracked down on several pro-Duterte accounts heavily…
FICTAP (Federation of International Cable TV Association of the Philippines) President Neng Juliano-Tamano Re: ABS-CBN Franchise renewal Keypoints: 1.
