Sen. Angara on the House of Rep's action on ABSCBN

We have to respect the action of a co-equal house. We don't know the reason for the abrupt u-turn in direction. We can only appeal to fellow legislators to consider the plight of thousands of employees as they debate the issuance of a legislative franchise. It's quite difficult for people to find jobs with the economic downturn. That's something we legislators have the power to address.
