Senator Grace Poe

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian will lead the Senate Committee on Public Services’ hearing on the bill granting ABS-CBN a provisional franchise after Senator Grace Poe inhibited herself from the proceedings.

Senator Grace Poe on Monday lauded the "first wave" of corporations who immediately heeded the call for payment extensions during the community quarantine.

Everyone wants to settle his obligations "on time."

There must be clear guidelines on how to implement the "community quarantine" in Metro Manila to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

It has been more than three years but President Rodrigo Duterte has not moved on from Congress’ aborted plan to grant him special powers to solve EDSA’s worsening traffic situation.

Health and civil defense authorities should send free mobile alerts on the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak to ease widespread fears.

Senator Grace Poe on Thursday urged Filipina "trailblazers" to create more opportunities that would help marginalized and struggling women succeed.

Senator Grace Poe could be held liable for graft for unabashedly putting her conflict of interest on display by leading the Senate hearing on ABS-CBN's franchise, former Cabinet Secretary Rigoberto Tiglao said.

The two houses of Congress should pass a concurrent resolution to grant ABS-CBN Corporation a provisional authority to operate while the 18th Congress tackles its franchise renewal.

The camp of President Rodrigo Duterte knew just how wide the reach of ABS-CBN was that his campaign managers devoted close to half of his campaign budget in 2016 to ads shown on the Kapamilya network.

Senator Grace Poe has expressed dismay at House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano for calling senators "epal" for holding a hearing on ABS-CBN's franchise ahead of the House of Representatives.

The so called war between ABS-CBN and GMA Network remains fierce even if the beleaguered Kapamilya network is facing an uphill climb in its franchise renewal bid.

Senator Grace Poe on Monday reiterated that a franchise is an act of "legislative grace."

The senators were able to obtain the answers they need with regard to the allegations against ABS-CBN Corporation "with or without" the help of Solicitor General Jose Calida.

Senator Lito Lapid may not be one of the outspoken legislators, but when he speaks, his colleagues take notice.

ABS-CBN Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Carlo Katigbak said the network didn't break the law or the terms of its franchise as he faced the Senate Monday (February 24).

Former Senator Sonny Trillanes on Friday said the public should not take House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano seriously.

Senate committee chairpersons are "authorized" to hear what their panel thinks should be heard.

The Senate public services committee chaired by Senator Grace Poe has invited Solicitor General Jose Calida to the hearing scheduled on February 24 on ABS-CBN's franchise.

Majority of the senators have shown interest to participate in next week's inquiry on the allegations against ABS-CBN broadcast network.

The proposed bill legalizing motorcycle taxis is a response to the "changing landscape" and demands of the commuting public.
