    The document argues that ABS-CBN's broadcast should continue despite Congress' pending decision on renewing its franchise. It discusses a previous case, ACWS-UBN vs. NTC, where NTC granted ACWS a temporary permit while its franchise renewal was pending, and notes ABS-CBN has met all requirements for franchise renewal but the decision remains pending in Congress through no fault of ABS-CBN. Therefore, the ACWS case cannot be used as basis to discontinue ABS-CBN's broadcast.

    ABS-CBN’S BROADCAST SHOULD BE CONTINUED DESPITE PENDING DECISION OF CONGRESS FOR ITS

    FRANCHISE RENEWAL.

    The case of ACWS-UBN VS. NTC cannot be made as a basis for ABS-CBN’s discontinuation of broadcast.

    ACWS-UBN

    -- NTC already issued ACWS a temporary permit without requiring a congressional franchise (2 years).
    This is while their case for renewal of franchise was still pending. NTC here gave a temporary permit
    based on the Memorandum of Understanding that the NTC, the Committee on Legislative Franchises of
    Congress, and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas of which ACWS is a member of good
    standing, entered into.

    -- ACWS was aware that a congressional franchise is necessary to operate its television station. Shortly
    before the December 31, 1994 deadline set in the MOU, ACWS filed an application for a franchise with
    Congress. It was not, however, acted upon in the 9th Congress for ACWS’s failure to submit the
    necessary supporting documents; ACWS failed to re-file the application in the following Congress. ACWS
    also filed an application for a franchise with Congress before the November 30, 1998 deadline under
    Memorandum Circular. – later denied.

    ABS-CBN

    --So far, ABS-CBN has met all the requirements (e.g. documents) needed for the processing of the
    renewal of franchise. Therefore, ABS has no violation regarding the steps to be made for the franchise
    renewal.

    --The problem is that it is still pending before the Congress in which ABS-CBN has no fault.

    THEREFORE, both cases cannot be compared because their facts are not similar.
