ABS-CBN network was ordered to stop its broadcast by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) as the franchise expired on May 4. Solicitor General Jose Calida had warned the NTC that it could face charges if provisional authority (PA) was granted to the network.
The Kapamilya broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez slammed Calida following the cease and desist order against ABS-CBN issued by the NTC.
In her Instagram post, she slammed the Solicitor General for his “effort” to close the network as she even shared that Calida used to be close with her mom attending the same Bible Study
“Sino na kaya ngayon ang Diyos ni Calida? Pilit pinapasarado ang ABSCBN Kahit labag sa batas? Kelan at paano kaya pwede ipakulong ang mga totoong abusado?” she said.
Korina also included a statement from Congressman Franz Alvarez that the congress is taking the matter seriously because “it directly challenges our exclusive Constitutional authority to grant, deny, extend, revoke or modify broadcast franchises.”
The statement also explained that the Committee on Legislative Franchises already urged the NTC to allow the TV network to operate until the “House of Representatives makes a final decision on the application” that will give them the necessary time to assess on the matter.
“The Solicitor General should have the decency to give Congress this courtesy to complete the exercise of its power,” the post said.

Korina also fired back some of the netizens who reacted negatively to her post. One of the netizens said: “Anong abuso?? Wala kayong franchise! Thats it!! Sus!! ” and in reply she said: “Please leave. Bruha ka.”
Some comments were a lot more supportive but she still couldn’t resist blaming Calida.
