Sen. Bato sinagot si Karen Davila sa issue ng ABS-CBN franchise
KAREN: The closure of ABS-CBN and those cases filed against Maria Ressa, these two? It's not an indicator that there is less freedom today, that there is no chilling effect?
SEN. BATO: Wow! paano mo nasabing chilling effect? bakit? sinara ba pati GMA, sinara ba pati TV 5? Hindi naman, kayo lang namang ABS-CBN ang hindi binigyan ng prangkisa ng congress! Because of some issues. Hindi ito para i-suppressed ang press freedom, hindi ginawa ito ng Congress, ito ay para i-address ninyo ang mga isyu na binato sa inyo, since hindi sattisfied ang kongreso sa mga sagot ng ABS-CBN kaya hindi in-approved ang prangkisa ninyo! So is there suppression of Press Freedom? Wow!
KAREN: You admit Senator? That President Duterte was for ABS-CBN closure?
SEN.BATO: Personal na kumento 'yun ng Pangulo, Karen! S'ya ba ang nag-ga-grant ng prangkisa? 'di ba it's Congress? Maraming deliberation d'yan at pinagbobotohan 'yan, the people who voted for the closure of ABS-CBN are voted by the people, they represent the people.
KAREN: Let us move-on, because of there any other issues and I am from ABS-CBN.
