Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa opened up about the
issue involving possible closure of giant network ABS CBN should its franchise
doesn’t get renewed.
Dela Rosa also questioned the accuracy of reports saying
that there will be 11,000 workers who will lose their jobs once the network
shuts down.
“11,000 talaga? Sigurado ka?” the senator said addressing
a reporter at the Senate in an interview.
“Anyway, regardless kung ilan yun, what’s 11,000
compared to the whole Filipino nation na matagal ng sinamantalahan ng isang
kumpanya kung talagang ma prove yan sa hearing na pinagsamantalahan ang
sambayanang Pilipino? What’s 11,000 compared to the whole Filipino nation?”
Dela Rosa added
The former chief of police also said that he would first
look at the evidence presented against the network before considering to change
his mind about the issue.
“E kung mabigat yung akusasyon na talagang maraming
viniolate ang ABS, bakit mo pa i re-renew. Kung talagang ma prove dun sa
hearing na grabe.. sinamanlala ng husto ng ABS-CBN ang samabayanang Pilipino,
bakit nyo pa i renew?
“Kasi mahirap yung puro allegation lang tapos
pagdating sa hearing nalaman natin na Santos pala itong ABS-CBN, hindi pala ito
makasalanan,” he said, as quoted by Inquirer.
On the other hand, Dela Rosa maintained that President
Rodrigo Duterte only has the best interest in mind for the country and that
they both have the same view in life.
“Pero sa nakikita ko he’s doing it for the good of the
majority of the Filipino people so pareho kami ng objective sa buhay.
Kailangang ang gobyerno ang magru-rule dito sa ating bansa at ang sambayang
Pilipino ay makikinabang. Yun ang kanyang objective sa buhay nya so ganun din
ang objective ko,” he said.
President Duterte has repeatedly expressed his desire
to close ABS-CBN during his speeches. And recently, Solicitor General Jose
Calida has filed a quo warranto petition at the Supreme Court to revoke the existing
franchise of the network giant.
