Katigbak, however, maintained that ABS-CBN did not violate any of the provisions of its then expiring franchise.
Minutes before the network signed off, Katigbak and ABS-CBN Chairman Mark Lopez faced the public on TV Patrol, appealing for support. "Hindi po kami nagpapaawa. Umaapela po kami. Ibalik niyo po ang ABS-CBN para maprotektahan namin ang 11,000 kong Kapamilya at ang kanilang mga minamahal sa buhay," Katigbak said.
"All of this is really about providing the best kind of employment for the workers of ABS-CBN . . . We can only do it if we are allowed to operate," he said.
Tandaan naten na si Gabby Lopez ay bumoto nung 2016 US Elections.
