Months after the shutdown of ABS-CBN and the denial of its franchise renewal, the House of Representatives is set to conduct a probe into allegations that were raised against the broadcast giant.
The House committee on good government and public accountability will hold a hearing on Wednesday, February 17, to tackle House Resolution (HR) No. 1040.
Lawmakers will probe whether the Lopez family “unjustly” benefited when the state-owned Development Bank of the Philippines condoned P1.6 billion worth of loans in 2006.
HR No. 1040 was authored by Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta with Senior Deputy Majority Leader Jesus Crispin Remulla, Deputy Speaker Paolo Duterte, Dumper PTDA Representative Claudine Bautista, ACT-CIS Representative Eric Yap, Anakalusugan Representative Mike Defensor, and Cavite 4th District Representative Elpidio Barzaga Jr.
