Senator Grace Poe Bats For Partial Renewal Of ABS-CBN Franchise

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  Senator Grace Poe is being true to form both as an advocate against fake news and a loving daughter to the late Fernando Poe, Jr. (FPJ).

Today, she filed a Senate resolution calling for the partial renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise which expires this March.

The divisive issue pits those who are for the non-renewal of the franchise against those who are for renewal.

Poe wants to renew the entertainment portion of the franchise while cancelling the broadcast network’s news operations.

ABS-CBN, besides being cited for tax evasion and violation of labor laws, is also accused of being a purveyor of fake, biased news.

”We must continue our crusade against fake news, but we also need to seriously consider the feelings of millions of Filipinos who follow the long-running FPJ’s “Ang Probinsyano” and other teleseryes and variety shows on ABS-CBN,” Poe told The Adobo Chronicles.

TAAL, Batangas (The Adobo Chronicles, Taal Bureau) – In time of need — especially during natural calamities such as the volcanic activity at Taal, Batangas — Filipinos can come together as one regardless of their political color.

While Leni Robredo and blogger extraordinaire Mocha Uson have been trading barbs over the Vice President’s relief operations for the Taal calamity victims, they have patched things up in solidarity with the thousands of Filipinos in need.

(Uson earlier criticized Robredo for the reported 5 pandesal and 2 bottle of water contained in her relief packages, whie the VP accused uson of being the “bearer of fake news.”)

Hundreds of boxes of cookies arrived at the Office of the Vice President’s relief center in Batangas for distribution to displaced Filipinos now housed at various evacuation centers.

The donor? Why, Mocha Uson of course!
