As Congress resumed session on Monday, Cagayan de Oro City Second District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez called on the House Committee on Legislative Franchises to immediately tackle bills seeking the renewal of the franchise of ABS-CBN.

Rodriguez, one of the authors of 10 pending bills, said there are only a few days left before the network’s franchise expires. Republic Ac 7966, which granted ABS-CBN’s 25-year franchise from its enactment on March 30, 1995, will expire in March 2020.
