A day after President Duterte branded the Lopez family as oligarchs, Malacañang expressed thanks for ABS-CBN’s offer to let the government use its transmission network to promote alternative education of students.The Lopez-owned broadcast firm, which shut down its free television and radio stations following a lapsed franchise, has offered to broadcast the educational programs to facilitate the learning of students during the pandemic.
On the President’s tirade against the Lopezes in his recent State of the Nation Address , Roque explained that the President has forgiven the network but still has a personal stance on the issue. In the same speech, the President announced plans to tap television frequencies returned to the state to provide blended education for students. Concerned agencies have been directed to craft the integrated program and implementation mechanism to ensure that these TV frequencies are fully utilized by government through the People’s Television network-4 for the benefit of the Filipino people.
