ABS-CBN Bids Goodbye Today
I just witnessed the signing off message of ABS-CBN on the screen today. It was very sad because I have so many memories with the network, the programs I used to watch when I was young, the news that made me want to be a newscaster and a journalist, and even the stories of different people. Their final goodbye was made possible based on the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on May 5, the government’s regulatory body that issues permits and licenses to television networks which are granted a franchise by Congress. And because that is the law, then it was done so.
