Kabayan Partylist Rep. Ron Salo has withdrawn his own bill granting ABS-CBN a new franchise.

My party-list group deems that ABS-CBN failed to successfully rebut the long list of alleged violations. Thus, this representation cannot anymore support the grant of a new franchise to ABS-CBN.

I am also certain that it will just be a temporary setback to the majority of its employees as other networks and stations will readily accept the workforce that comes with proven talents and expertise.
