00:32.5
Kamusta kayo dyan, mga ka-Lenny Youth
00:34.8
Ano pong update na?
00:37.1
Latest update dyan sa Lenny Youth
00:39.2
Base dun sa mga investigative journalism nila
00:43.5
Tsaka yung mga bayani natin
00:46.2
Na mga journalist
00:50.7
Gumaganda rin yung Tagalog natin
00:52.0
Kasi naikinig tayo sa mga ni Harry Roque
00:54.9
Mga ex-human rights lawyer
00:57.3
Napagaling ng mga kanilang presentation
01:01.6
May mga updates na tayo guys
01:03.9
So over the past week
01:05.7
Especially since last Friday
01:07.7
Ito, pinafollow natin
01:10.4
Itong situation sa SMNI
01:11.9
At base dun sa mga conversations natin
01:14.9
With people who attended
01:15.9
Yung mga hearings sa SMNI
01:17.3
Talagang medyo nakita na natin
01:20.2
Yung writing on the wall
01:21.1
Na very hostile yung mga
01:22.9
Yung mga hearings
01:24.8
Very hostile yung mga treatment
01:26.8
Ng mga congressmen dun sa mga
01:28.5
Representatives ng SMNI
01:30.1
Especially ito si Ka-Eric
01:31.4
At saka si Badoik
01:32.7
Kamusta naman dyan sa kanilang
01:37.2
Ano pong latest dyan sa Hunger Strike
01:39.9
Sumama na ba si Harry
01:45.1
More or less we saw the writing on the wall
01:47.6
More or less we called it
01:49.8
It looks like the franchise of SMNI
01:51.4
Is now really in peril
01:52.9
And that it's a matter of time
01:55.6
Na baka matanggalan na sila ng franchise
01:57.9
Obviously there's no way to understand SMNI
02:00.2
Unless you're also looking at the bigger picture
02:02.8
The connection between Kiboloy
02:06.6
President Rodrigo Duterte
02:08.4
Who happens to be
02:11.4
Or whatever you want to call him
02:12.7
Resident analyst ng SMNI
02:15.2
Or something like that
02:16.1
Along those lines
02:18.5
Actually nag-escalate nyo yung situation
02:23.5
Questioning yung mga reports
02:32.2
Or decadent amounts
02:33.4
Of travel expenditure
02:34.9
By the House of Representatives
02:36.3
Especially the speakership
02:37.5
Of the House of Representatives
02:38.9
And then the next thing you know
02:41.1
Talagang kine-question na rin
02:44.0
Ethical practices
02:45.1
Journalistic practices ng SMNI
02:47.4
There was already a resolution
02:49.2
For suspension of SMNI's franchise
02:53.0
Officially there's a move to
02:54.5
Review yung franchise nila
02:56.4
For possible revocation
02:57.8
Now mukhang it's not ending there
02:59.7
Because this seems to be
03:01.7
Even escalating further
03:03.0
So the latest news that we have
03:04.8
Over the past 24 hours
03:06.6
Since we had our last live
03:09.5
May mga grupo dyan sa Kongreso
03:11.5
Who are now pushing for investigation
03:18.4
Not only Lorraine Badoy
03:21.2
Not only that specific report
03:23.3
About allegations
03:25.4
Against the Speaker of the House
03:27.4
But now you have a situation
03:29.6
Whereby some of the Congress people
03:30.8
Are pushing all the way
03:33.8
The case of Pastor
03:37.7
Opposition lawmakers
03:39.0
Express reservations
03:40.1
Regarding dun sa potential
03:43.0
Sunshine Media Network
03:44.0
International Franchise
03:44.9
Citing concerns for
03:45.8
Free speech and press freedom
03:47.5
May mga tao na nagsabi na
03:48.7
May mga free speech
03:50.1
And press freedom
03:53.3
At yun lang sinabi ko na
03:54.4
Of course we have to be very careful
03:55.6
Be careful what you wish for
03:57.4
Because if we try to
03:58.7
Play around yung SOTO law
04:00.3
And mga protections
04:01.1
Ang binibigay sa mga journalist
04:02.1
And if we want to play around
04:03.4
With the definition of what
04:04.5
Makes it credentialed journalist or not
04:06.5
Then we're going down
04:10.5
May two lines of attack dito
04:13.4
Against the alleged
04:15.8
Man behind the whole
04:17.8
Media organization
04:20.1
Of course yung mga investigations
04:21.5
From the US angle
04:22.9
Yung mga FBI wanted etc
04:25.2
The other one of course is
04:27.4
Yung also concerns about
04:29.7
Nang etong organization neto
04:33.1
Alleged ties between SMNI
04:34.6
At China Propaganda Unit
04:37.4
So isa sa mga tao na
04:39.9
Dito sa mga discussion
04:41.8
And potential ties
04:44.8
Raising concerns about
04:46.5
Hindi magkakaroon na
04:47.2
Mass hysteria etc
04:49.4
House Deputy Minority Leader
04:52.9
Representative Congresswoman
04:55.2
Na interview natin
04:56.1
Dito sa ating podcast
04:58.3
Very interesting podcast
04:59.7
Di ba pinag-usapan dito
05:01.9
Din natin yung krisis
05:03.1
Sa edukasyon sa Pilipinas
05:04.9
Krisis sa education is concerned
05:06.1
If there's one person
05:06.9
That I want to listen to
05:08.3
What should be done is
05:09.5
Congressman Castro
05:11.3
Because she has a background
05:13.0
Particularly in mathematics
05:14.6
Teaching mathematics
05:15.8
So basic education
05:18.1
So please also check out
05:19.5
Yung mga criticism niya
05:20.5
Something that we can discuss
05:21.4
If I'm not mistaken
05:22.1
Yung good friend natin
05:22.9
Si Christian Esquerra
05:26.6
In the Philippines
05:27.2
I don't know if you guys know
05:27.4
I suggest you guys
05:31.0
Balikan natin itong issue na ito
05:32.5
Representative Franz Castro
05:36.0
She's like the new star
05:37.5
Sa House of Representatives
05:40.3
She's now the new
05:42.0
Sa House of Representatives
05:43.4
In the same way that
05:45.1
Is the Iron Lady dyan
05:47.6
Now if you look at her
05:48.9
She has been going
05:50.9
With Sara Duterte
05:52.1
Over the confidential fund issue
05:53.6
She has been going
05:55.2
With President Rodrigo Duterte
05:57.8
Allegedly threats
05:59.3
From the President
06:00.0
Former President against her
06:01.2
And there has been
06:02.3
Already a court case
06:04.6
And a few weeks ago
06:13.7
Threatening remarks niya
06:15.6
Kay Congresswoman Castro
06:17.5
It was in that light
06:18.5
Na yung mga nandun
06:21.9
Ay nag-criticize din
06:23.5
May mga PDP laban na
06:24.7
High level officials
06:27.1
So this is getting serious
06:28.6
And this is getting
06:29.1
This is escalating very fast
06:32.1
So the next line of attack
06:35.0
Their journalistic practices
06:38.4
And yung kanilang
06:41.5
How they were using
06:42.9
Or allegedly abusing
06:45.0
Broadcasting rights
06:46.7
And their position
06:48.9
And also not only
06:51.8
The baseless allegations
06:52.8
Against House of Representative Leadership
06:57.4
To the very man behind SMNI
06:59.9
The man behind SMNI
07:02.3
Ito lumabas lang sa Friday
07:05.4
Kaapon lang itong mga kameta
07:12.2
Inside the House of Representatives
07:13.7
Like Franz Castro
07:14.7
Hindi sila generally sold
07:16.7
Doon sa revocation of the franchise
07:18.8
Because sabi nila
07:19.4
We just want to set right
07:22.1
Without them red-tagging
07:23.3
Or vilifying anyone
07:25.6
And freedom of the press
07:29.4
I mean one of the reasons
07:30.7
Is also because they're worried
07:33.3
The very thing that we mentioned
07:34.4
Mga kameta last week
07:36.1
Be careful what you wish for
07:37.6
Because kung ma-revoke yung license
07:42.0
If there's another
07:44.3
Or legit journalist
07:45.1
Not necessarily SMNI style
07:46.6
But the legit media
07:48.9
Some corruption in the government
07:50.0
Or congress or whatever
07:51.8
What are we gonna expect?
07:53.9
Are we gonna expect them to
07:55.2
You get what I'm saying
07:55.8
So you have to be careful
07:56.8
About the precedents you set
07:58.0
And you have to be careful
07:58.7
Also about making sure na
08:01.4
Accountability hearings and all
08:04.3
Hindi siya magta-turn
08:05.1
Into a kangaro court
08:06.1
I'm not saying that's the case
08:07.6
We have to make sure
08:10.6
At galit ng tao sa SMNI
08:11.9
No matter how valid it is
08:14.1
It doesn't blind people
08:15.7
To the importance of rule of law
08:17.7
And importance of
08:22.4
So sa isang banda
08:23.7
Ang sinasabi nila is
08:24.9
Generally we're not sold
08:26.5
At the first time
08:26.8
We just want to set right
08:29.8
Without them retagging
08:30.7
Or verifying anyone
08:32.8
And freedom of the press in place
08:34.1
Now having said that
08:35.6
Ito yung interestingly
08:36.4
Ito yung interesting na
08:38.8
We still want to look into
08:40.0
The partnership of SMNI
08:41.4
With China Global Television Network
08:47.5
The Chinese Network
08:48.3
Ito yung state-backed Chinese network
08:50.0
Na version nila ng BBC
08:54.0
Version nila ng Al Jazeera
08:57.6
Building its momentum
08:59.3
And in fact if anything
09:00.3
You have former Filipino top officials
09:03.0
Like Martin Andanar
09:04.5
A former broadcaster
09:05.6
Also with Austin TV5
09:07.2
Now also working with CGTN
09:09.9
So what people are saying
09:11.4
Is like wait wait lang
09:13.5
Have a partnership
09:14.2
And it's agreement
09:15.9
With the military
09:16.7
And the National Task Force
09:19.2
Medyo alanganin daw eh
09:21.0
Yung mga institutional affiliations
09:23.2
Nang itong SMNI na to
09:25.1
China Global Television Network
09:26.4
The other one is with
09:27.2
The National Task Force
09:28.0
To end local communist armed conflict
09:29.6
So ang in-imply siguro
09:31.0
Nila Franz Castro dito is
09:32.6
How can you expect them
09:35.9
How can you expect them to be
09:38.9
Fair and reasonable
09:40.6
Doon sa kanilang coverage
09:42.7
Nang issues relevant to West Philippine Sea
09:44.5
Or issues relevant to
09:45.8
To counter insurgency
09:47.7
Peace negotiations
09:48.7
Within the government
09:51.7
Or communist groups
09:52.5
If there are certain
09:54.0
Allegedly institutional linkages
09:56.4
So President Castro
09:58.9
Pressed the House legislative franchises
10:00.7
To investigate itong linkages
10:02.4
Especially with CGTN ng China
10:03.9
So what's interesting here
10:07.4
You have a situation whereby
10:09.8
People who are supposedly affiliated
10:12.4
With the left in the Philippines
10:13.7
Supposedly front ng communism
10:16.7
Sila mas may nag-raise ng concern
10:18.9
About institutional ties
10:20.9
And really a communist country
10:24.9
The state-backed news network
10:26.3
Of the United States
10:26.4
Of the communist country
10:30.4
I have been interviewed by CGTN
10:35.2
Personally I had no problem
10:37.1
When I was interviewed by them
10:38.7
When I was in Beijing
10:40.7
I also went to their building
10:41.8
But I was interviewed
10:42.9
On a different issue
10:44.6
Kasi pumunta rin ako sa North Korea
10:46.8
Before dumana ako sa Beijing
10:48.0
Going to North Korea
10:49.6
Speaking of all of that
10:50.7
Personally I had no problem
10:53.1
But at the end of the day
10:53.8
We should have no illusions
11:00.5
Do not expect them to be fair
11:02.5
Discussing issues like
11:03.4
West Philippine Sea
11:04.2
Or issues that are relevant
11:05.4
To Philippine-China relations
11:06.9
It's not gonna happen
11:07.9
It's not gonna happen
11:09.9
Franz Castro and others
11:12.1
Kailangan titignan na mabuti yan
11:16.0
You have other progressives
11:17.5
We have to also look at the other
11:19.0
Potentially troubling situations
11:21.9
Gabriela women's representative
11:27.2
The house must also go after
11:30.0
Potentially look into
11:32.5
Doon sa mga charges
11:34.1
Ng sex trafficking
11:36.8
Yung cases na yan
11:37.6
Pwede natin pag-usapan
11:39.5
SMNI's ownership changed
11:40.7
We have not yet uncovered
11:42.1
What Kiboloy's role
11:44.0
But everyone's pointing to him
11:45.7
So ayon kay Brosas
11:46.6
The government must
11:47.4
Immediately extradite
11:49.5
These appalling crimes
11:50.7
That were ignored
11:51.4
During the previous administration
11:52.4
Because it's very close
11:53.3
To former president
11:55.7
Paraneka representative
11:58.0
Chair of the house panel
12:00.2
Seeking to revoke
12:01.8
Was already filed
12:02.7
Pero hindi pa siya na-deliberate
12:04.7
At the committee level pa
12:07.7
Hostile they were
12:09.3
To the SMNI people
12:12.1
Very very interesting
12:14.6
We'll do a follow-up
12:16.2
Vlog on this soon
12:22.6
Siguro makakaroon
12:23.3
Ng more clarity also
12:25.9
All the way after
12:32.2
But in fairness to
12:36.4
They have maintained
12:37.0
That he's no longer
12:38.6
Media network anymore
12:40.6
So this was the report
12:42.2
Just the other week
12:49.5
Corporation of the Philippines
12:52.2
Sunshine Media Network
13:05.4
Violation of this
13:12.2
And officer of the
13:17.3
Corporate Officers
13:25.5
Corporate Officers
13:31.7
Media Corporation
13:33.9
Dinidinay na nila
13:38.2
Categorically denying
13:47.0
Development in this
13:54.8
Topic as there'll
13:55.5
Be more developments
14:10.4
Philippine political
14:11.6
Class turns on them
14:13.8
Napakalakas nung isang
14:17.7
Beginning to change
14:20.4
Thank you very much
14:23.4
Mga obligations and all
14:27.0
Links and updates
14:29.4
Para you can also
14:30.0
Check what's going on
14:30.9
What I'm saying is that
14:35.0
President Duterte
14:38.7
After his very good
14:39.5
Friend from Davao
14:45.9
And he considers it
14:47.4
He considers SMNI
14:48.7
As his main platform
14:49.7
For getting his message out
14:51.3
Thank you very much
14:52.4
And talk to you soon
15:01.9
May matatrol pa dito
