00:00 Update. According to the SMNI's frankness, the host's camp gathered, Lorraine Badoy and Eric Celis,
00:09 who were returned by the contempt order of the Kamaral Laban to them.
00:13 Tina Panganiban Perez was there.
00:15 Her relatives visited SMNI host Lorraine Badoy in her detention room in Batasan.
00:25 She was also there with SMNI co-host Jeffreyka Eric Celis after they were contempted by the House Committee on Legislative Franchises.
00:34 The air-conditioned room has a bed.
00:38 Their cell phone access is limited.
00:41 According to their lawyer, the two started a hunger strike yesterday.
00:46 Badoy and Celis will face a hearing by the committee on Monday where they will appeal their detention.
00:53 We are requesting the good committee that we consider for humanitarian reasons and for the spirit of Christmas,
01:00 maybe they will reconsider that protest or that contempt order or that arrest order.
01:06 Celis was detained after he denied to everyone who is his source who gave false information that Speaker Martin Romualdez has a 1.8 million peso travel fund.
01:18 Under the law, the public cannot force the name of their source.
01:24 He named that he's an employee of the Senate and I think he's also duty-bound to make sure that that person exists and that this is not just a thought.
01:36 Badoy was contempted because he admitted to lying when his testimony did not match with the information he submitted to the committee regarding his share in the SMNI program.
01:50 In order to double-check Badoy's statements regarding the program's income, the committee invited the BIR on Monday.
01:58 The committee also passed a resolution to the NTC that suspended the franchise of the SMNI operator.
02:06 The parties who changed their provisions did not use the franchise to spread false information,
02:13 asking for permission from the Congress to change the owner of the corporation and sell 30 percent of their stocks to the public.
02:22 To be fair, the SMNI will go through the proper process.
02:28 We will have to render a committee report and then the committee report will be voted upon by the committee and this will be submitted to plenary for adoption.
02:40 We believe that there is no violation. If there is a violation, at least we will comply with the given opportunity.
02:48 The one who alleges has an obligation to prove that there is a violation.
02:54 There is a presumption of good faith on the part of SMNI.
02:57 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok 24 Hours.
