NTC sinuspindi SMNI nang 30-araw dahil sa 'paglabag' sa prangkisa | Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Pinatawan ng isang buwang suspensyon ng National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ang isang kontrobersyal na media network matapos diumano suwayin ang mga kondisyones ng kanilang prangkisa.

Isinapubliko ng NTC ang kanilang desisyon sa isang pahayag, Miyerkules, ilang araw matapos suspindihin ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTCRB) ang dalawang programa ng Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) kaugnay ng pag-eere ng death threats at "unverified reports."

"The [NTC]... has issued a Show Cause Order with Thirty (30)-day Suspension order (Order) dated 19 December 2023 against Swara Sug Media Corporation (Swara Sug) with Business/Trade Name Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI)," wika ng komisyon sa ulat ng News5, Huwebes.

"In said Order, the NTC directed Swara sug to explain in writing within fifteen (15) days from receipt thereof why it should be administratively sanctioned for alleged violation of the considion of its authorities to comply with all the laws, rules and regulations of the land."

Paliwanag ng NTC, isina-alang-alang nila ang House Resolution 189 na nagsasabing gumawa ng "tatlong paglabag" sa legislative franchise nito (Republic Act 11422).

Ito ang aksyong ginawa ng komisyon matapos tugunan ang House Resolution 189 o "Resolution urging the National Telecommunications Commission to suspend the operations of Swara Sug Media Corporation operating under the business name Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI)."

"The NTC was one of the invited agencies and participated as resource person/agency in three (3) committee hearings conducted by the House of Representatives' Committee on Legislative Franchises, which led to the issurance of Resolution No. 189," dagdag ng NTC.

"The corresponding administrative hearing by the NTC following the issurance of said Order will be on 04 January 2024."
