    The House Committee on Legislative Franchises rejected ABS-CBN's bid for a new 25-year franchise due to issues including the dual citizenship of chairman Eugenio Lopez III, possible violations of limits on foreign ownership, labor and tax violations, and other violations of its previous franchise terms. Specifically, they cited Lopez's dual citizenship, ABS-CBN operating a pay-per-view channel without approval, and only 25% of ABS-CBN's employees being regularized despite having over 11,000 total workers. Duterte had long threatened ABS-CBN's shutdown for declining to air one of his campaign ads and for allegedly spreading "fake news" about him.

    ARGUM that ABS-CBN was "swinding" him


    by not airing one of his paid
    campaign ads for the 2016

    ENT  elections. This was the first of


    many times Duterte threatened the

    percent or 2,661 out of the total 11,701 total workers of
    ABS-CBN Corporation and all its subsidiaries are
    regular employees.
