Atienza to colleagues: Act on franchise or resign 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Raymund AntonioBuhay Representative Lito Atienza on Tuesday asked his colleagues in Congress to act now on the franchise renewal application of media giant ABS-CBN Corp. or step down from their posts. We must take up the franchise, whether you’re for or against is not material to me,” he said. Atienza is not convinced his fellow lawmakers are still too busy with other concerns for them to tackle bills renewing the ABS-CBN’s franchise. The partylist lawmaker called out House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and Palawan Rep. Franz Alvarez, chairman of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises, for refusing to work on the franchise renewal.
