The resolution to extend the franchise given to Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation for a further 25 years was adopted by the House of Representatives on Wednesday during the second reading (IBC-13).

Reps. Gus Tambunting of Paranaque City and Joey Salceda of Albay are the primary authors of House Bill No. 6505, which seeks to extend the license that IBC-13 was given by Republic Act 8954 “to construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain for commercial purposes and in the public interest, radio and television broadcasting stations in the Philippines.”

IBC-13 is a radio and television network that consists of 11 province radio stations, four relay stations, and five provincial TV stations.

Article II Section 24 of the Constitution, which specifically states that “the State recognizes the crucial function of communication and information in nation-building,” was used by Tambunting in support of his argument for the renewal of the franchise.

“IBC-13’s goal is to become the national network for kids’ education. IBC-13 shall be focused on the education of our greatest national resource, the Filipino youth, by providing programming that promotes positive Filipino values, good morals, and right conduct while correcting outmoded, traditional behavior that continues to be a barrier to development and progress, according to the bill’s sponsor, the chair of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises.

IBC-13’s purpose is to encourage gifted kids to work toward a better tomorrow and a better Philippines. Please vote in favor of IBC-13’s franchise, honorable members of the House of Representatives, so they can carry out their goal and vision for the Filipino people, Tambunting urged.

Via voice, the measure was approved.
