Protests in Quezon City against Duterte' s call to shut down ABS-CBN

Quezon City, Feb 10 (EFE/EPA).- The government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte launched a new attack Monday on the media by urging the Supreme Court to shut down ABS-CBN, the largest television network in the country.The move has been branded an attack on press freedom and democracy by international media organizations.Solicitor General Jose Calida, the government's chief lawyer, filed a petition with the court not to renew ABS-CBN's franchise, set to expire 30 March after 25 years of operation.The decision to renew the network's franchise rests in Congress' hands, but the Supreme Court, where most of the judges are allies of Duterte, could step in.In the petition, which Calida filed personally, the solicitor general says ABS-CBN and its subsidiary ABS-CBN Convergence are unlawfully exercising their legislative franchises as it is partially financed by foreign capital, which violates the Philippine law on mass media.
