ACTIVITY 4.1:
1. National Telecommunication Commission (NTC), a government regulatory office,
handed ABS-CBN company a cease and desist order stopping its broadcast. It is
due to the company's expired franchise. The company's franchise expired May 4,
2020. Many people are saddened. ABS-CBN's top official contested the stoppage
of their broadcast. They would argue that it is wrong to hand down the order of
stoppage because it will greatly affect their eleven thousand employees (11,000).
Arguments could go as far as saying that the stoppage will be against the interest
of the Filipino because of the pandemic we are experiencing. They would even
claim that it clear violation of press freedom.
Let us analyze this. Is it unethical for NTC to issue stoppage of ABS-CBN because
of their expired franchise to operate? or it is unethical for NTC to issue stoppage of
ABSCBN because of their expired franchise but it is pandemic and greatly affects
11,000 employees?
