Were they standing for respecting our labor, broadcasting, SEC and tax laws ??? Simple question https://t.co/1EU6rmgR0u

"ABS CBN has no political agenda " . Carlo Katigbak . They should have closed the matter the moment a CEO utters those words expecting anybody with half a brain to believe that .

As lawmakers what message would they be sending to an institution that seem to flaunt many of those laws : labor , tax , broadcasting , ownership. https://t.co/UtYm6P7mJ1

When you see a supposed defender of the marginalized passionately defend the Economic Elite. Jusko kadiri. #ABSCBNhearing https://t.co/WwXsMoLx90

Indeed... "One would be hard-pressed to put up a eulogy to #ABSCBN painting it as a paragon of virtue. It makes money off low quality unoriginal programs that have long known to contribute to the intellectual bankruptcy of Philippine society." https://t.co/atCejZttcB

There needs to be an intense baduy detox. And that’s assuming another bastion of baduyness doesn’t rise in its place and the other outlets don’t pick up the slack from the vacuum of baduyness left behind #baduyness https://t.co/Bi18hhtWez

Money is desperately flowing from the ABS-CBN treasury!

Imagine, they can afford not to pay taxes owed to the Filipinos for years and yet they can certainly short circuit the process by bribing our legislators. https://t.co/rC5oUkhHiC

Of course not . People keep quoting labor , SEC, broadcasting and tax violations ( plural) . Let’s start with that OJT . https://t.co/mK1seswU1X

The ABS CBN franchise issue boils down to either a conscience vote or conscience bought. 😅

"As we have written before in this paper, ABS-CBN’s past has definitely caught up with it..." https://t.co/dfHXRcbPs7

Did u notice that ABSCBN officials are always well-prepared to even the remotest questions of allied congressmen...

But can't remember the answer to the most simple questions of Marcoleta, et. al. ?

Pati ba naman sa hearing may script or was it part of d deal?#VoteNoToABSCBN

Owsheyt!!!! Carlo Katigbak just said that they never violated any law. Huh! Then how do we expect them to change if they still couldnt acknowledge their mistakes!!!! I am beyond angry.
— gabriela silang (@gabriel00609109) July 6, 2020

The arrogance of ABSCBN is legendary. Their arrogance made all their lies become them. I can’t seem to see even a bit of humility from their side.

I find it funny that people stress " calmness" but say nothing about things like you know transparency, sincerity , honesty , law abiding. Things like that. But you know what Billy Joel says about honesty 😂

You know @Noel_Dolor this reminds me of a Mathis / Williams duet

Violation of the 100% Filipino ownership of mass media is one of the accusations against ABS-CBN, and there are so many others like labor laws, tax evasion, etc. The man’s grace, calmness in appearance, and always with a smile on his face are irrelevant to the violations. Tse! https://t.co/OefNQWnRfF

This is how dumb Carlo Katigbak thinks we all are . Even pro ABS CBN people didn’t even try to talk around this one . “ no political agenda “ https://t.co/78MJo2ZBss
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 6, 2020

Carlo Katigbak “ ABS CBN is not political “ . 1. Who is here ? 2 . Who employed them in 2016? 3. Is it political ? 4. Any internal memo ? https://t.co/VKxhWFIXYb
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 6, 2020

If a nil achieving onion skinned , insecure President -Elect in 2010 immediately hired 2 ABS CBN on air staff were they really doing journalism uncovering his accomplishments or just a$$ kissing on air? To be fair who wouldn't want to kiss that?
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 6, 2020

“Grace “??? He said with a straight face that ABS CBN is not political. That is grace in a way I guess . Long known as a “ kingmaker “ . All their stars appeared in that joke youtube Mar Roxas fast forward . 2 on air employees immediately on Aquino staff in 2010. Not political? https://t.co/1fAveSuMeF

Any journalist who becomes part of a president ‘s team wasn’t much of a journalist to begin with . https://t.co/EH0A5Fbc8j

From my friend who was responding to the idea about pitying the employees . I believe he is not on Twitter . pic.twitter.com/umUBfOGyBW

ABS CBN. In service of the Filipino. By educating them on laws of all types by breaking them in the process of their operations.
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 4, 2020

You know what’s really painful abt the ABSCBN tax avoidance issue?

It’s the fact that they saved billions and billions and yet deny the regularization of thousands of their employees.

The math checks out. Hindi sila malulugi sa dami ng perang natipid nila.

GREED.
— Doctor_EVL (@Doctor_EVL) July 4, 2020

So you are saying they did not break any laws whether broadcasting / tax / labor ? 100 % in compliance ??? You know this was cooking since last year . The pandemic is Feb 2020. License expiry date was well known https://t.co/7UZZknoq2L
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 4, 2020

Claim not to be political after years of being proud of being known as the “ kingmaker “ https://t.co/ywV2um7sJJ

They didn’t complain when INC block voted the blockhead in 2010 . https://t.co/k56QoyjNNR
— Ed Lopez (@edrlopez) July 2, 2020

ABSCBN saved around P3B worth of taxes from 2016 - 2018 from Big Dipper alone.

That is the amount AVOIDED by ABSCBN.

Isn't it funny how EVERYONE claims God is on their side? If this were true and God is one everybody's side, then how in the world can anyone take God seriously? 🤔 https://t.co/XBZA05DFPi pic.twitter.com/qPAwY43qX5

If you have 10 to 20 years employees, not regularized because they are not deserving. Then, management is to blame for failure to train them properly.
— littleboy (@little_b_o_y) June 30, 2020

And they have the goddamn gall to ask for “FAIRNESS” when they fail to comply with regulators and labor laws, and unscrupulously avail of loopholes to avoid paying taxes.

😱 I therefore conclude that Liza Soberano doesn't know that the PH has three branches of the government. https://t.co/kQGPZnNDkx
