DECISION

DECISION

Based on the Inspection Report dated 03 June 2003 submitted by the NTC

Regional Office No. VIII, Army Road, Tacloban City to the Broadcast Service Division, it

appears that Respondent Manila Broadcasting Company/Milagros E. Aberasturi is

reported that:

“The above broadcast stations on a Low Power FM (LPFM) with power output of
100mW. Its operations were covered by a Permit to Possess issued by the
Commission. No Construction Permit were required then, since the issued
Permit to Possess also serves as its Permit to Operate.

These LPFM stations no longer exists and in view of this, the BSD is of the view
that this administrative case may be dismissed or archived, without prejudice to
the re-opening of the case, should it be found/reported to be still operating in the
area.”

In view of the foregoing premises, the dismissal of the instant case is warranted

without prejudice to the refiling of the case against Respondent should it be reported

operating a Low Power FM station in the area.

WHEREFORE, the instant administrative complaint against the Respondent

Manila Broadcasting Company/Milagros E. Aberastino-Radyo Natin FM Station is

hereby DISMISSED without prejudice to the refiling of the case should it be reported
