JUST IN: "NTC today issued a Cease & Desist Order vs ABS-CBN." HANEP! Gov't did everything to close the media network—& it coincided w/ pandemic—a time when: 1. Public needs more reliable sources of news 2. Gov't Transparency is of paramount import 3. People need jobs the most!

The HERALDO FILIPINO strongly condemns the cease and desist order against ABS-CBN network. Today marks a dark day in Philippine history. It is unfortunate that as we battle a global pandemic, a new crisis arises: the dismantling of our democracy. #NoToABSCBNShutDown

Alma Mater, keep up naman cyz.

Tinig ng Plaridel stands firm with all independent journalists in fighting against the desperate attacks on the press. As watchdogs of society, a free press will never be silenced and will always be one with the plights of the masses. FULL STATEMENT: bit.ly/2YxSv9z

Heraldo Filipino expressed its support to ABS-CBN emphasizing that "at a time when the public needs more reliable sources of news, shutting down one of the biggest media outlets in the country is a disservice to the Filipino people." #StandWithABSCBN #DefendPressFreedom

The NTC issued a cease and desist order vs ABS-CBN on Tuesday, May 5. This is the latest in the network’s years-long tussle with the government under President Duterte. #CourageON #StandWithABSCBN #DefendPressFreedom rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/2…

I cant wait for [something bad to happen just because of ABS-CBN Shutdown] that it would BITE BACK the government like a snake they tended so magnanimously from the verge of death. Like perhaps, further economic doom? Or perhaps the public knows better 😏 #NoToABSCBNShutdown

Sa ilang dekada ng ABS-CBN, binalikan ng mag-asawang ito mula Mandaluyong ang kanilang mga alaala sa pagtutok sa Kapamilya network. Ito’y matapos iutos ng NTC na itigil ang operasyon ng TV at radio stations ng broadcast company sa buong bansa. (📸 George Calvelo, ABS-CBN News)
