Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 4) — A party-list lawmaker has filed a resolution urging the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to suspend the operations of Sonshine Media Network Inc. (SMNI) for allegedly violating the terms and conditions of its franchise.​


During Monday’s session, the House approved a motion to include House Resolution 1499 filed by PBA Party-list Rep. Margarita Nograles in the agenda of the legislative franchises committee’s Tuesday hearing on SMNI’s alleged franchise violations.

Nograles sought the suspension of SMNI’s franchise after two of its hosts accused House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez of spending P1.8 billion for his overseas trips this year. The allegation, however, was disproved by House Secretary General Reginald Velasco at the House legislative franchises committee’s hearing last week.
