Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7 housemates Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber joined their supporters on the first day of March 2020 in prayer rally for ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal.
Aside from MayWard and their supporters, fan clubs of KathNiel, Aljon Mendoza and Karina Bautista also joined the prayer rally along Mother Ignacia and Sgt. Esguerra Streets in Quezon City.
Recently, DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello confirmed that ABS-CBN is labor law compliant, contrary to what Mocha Uson is claiming. Uson is well known as the queen of fake news.

Whereas, former ABS-CBN Corporate Services Group Head Mark Nepomuceno clarified that ABS-CBN’s 11,000 employees include even the employees of its subsidiaries:
- DZMM and MOR Radio Stations
- Digital Terrestrial Television
- ABS-CBN News Channel
- ABS-CBN Global
- Star Cinema
- Kidzania
Meanwhile, former Chief Justice Reynato Puno said that ABS-CBN could no longer operate once its existing license expires by the end of March this year. Having said that, House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano stated that he’s ready to get jailed with ABS-CBN executives if that’s the case.
Cayetano said: “Ngayon kung may makukulong sa ABS-CBN dahil nagbo-broadcast sila habang naghi-hearing kami, e di samahan ko sila sa kulungan, ikulong niya na rin ako. Dahil ako nakapirma sa sulat e.”
However, former Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban said that the giant network can still operate even after its franchise expires, as it’s not the network’s fault if the application for the franchise renewal is still stuck in Congress.
Panganiban said: “Hindi naman kasalanan ng ABS. Nagawa na ang lahat ng dapat gawin, lahat ng requirements nandiyan na. Hindi kasalana ng ABS-CBN na wala pa silang franchise.”
