MANILA - De La Salle University on Tuesday showed support to ABS-CBN Corp.

, hours after the broadcast giant was ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission to shut down its TV and radio operations.

"In solidarity with ABS-CBN, its employees, and the millions of Filipinos who depend on the broadcast network for news and information, De La Salle University lights up the iconic St. La Salle Hall in the colors of the company to appeal to the National Telecommunications Commission to grant provisional authority for the continued operation of the network," it said.
