EMBATTLED televangelist Pastor Apollo Quiboloy is now facing more woes after the House of Representatives passed the bill revoking the franchise of his television network, Sonshine Media Network International .
The measure effectively repeals Republic Act No. 11422, which in August 2019 extended for 25 more years the franchise granted by RA 8122 to Swara Sug Media Corporation, SMNI’s operator. Among the cited reasons for the revocation is its failure to deliver truthful and balanced reporting as shown by the “multiple cases filed against it for red-tagging, disseminating fake news, and making baseless accusations.”
Under Section 10 of RA 11422, changes involving the sale, lease, transfer, or assignment of the franchise must be done with the approval of Congress.
