  1. Kaloka ang hearing na yan. Filipino nga siya sabi ng DOJ. DOJ na yan ha hindi kung sino lang. Tapos gusto ng gobyerno bigyan ang trust sa kanila.

    1. Technicality ng Citizenship lang naman ito. Hindi naman niya itinakwil ang pagiging local niya dahil Wala pa naman siyang alam sa pagpili dahil kapapanganak pa lang niya nuon.

    2. Pero american citizen pa rin sya. It's a matter of national interest. He's owning the biggest media entity in the country. His allegiance should only be with the Philippines. Lawak lawakan po natin ang pag-iisip.

    3. In 1996, renewal of US Passport. US Passport - Acts and Conditions. He needs to renounce his other citizenship/nationality.

      2001. He asked recognition from DOJ for his filipino citizen because he wants to have a Phil Passport

      In 2016, He voted in US election.

      Some say he is a filipino due to 1935 Constitution. In 1986 our Phil Constitution was revised. PayPal ng bagong Constitution in 1986, eto na ang susundin na natin, hindi na in 1935.

      Sa US, when a filipino is born in US Soil, he is automatically an American citizen by birth. At age of 18, he has an option to choose to be a filipino or an American. He keeps his US Passport, it means he keeps his US Citizenship/Nationality.

      Sa Phil Constitution pertains to owning a mass media or running a broadcasting company, wala doon dual citizenship, Nakalagay lang 100% Filipino.

      Since dual citizenship siya, questionable rin ang Allegiance niya. You can not have dual allegiance, it's against the law in both countries.

    4. Eh yong mga taong masyadong "paborito" ang mga chinese at hinahayaang silang gumawa ng illegal sa pinas at halos ayaw makanti ang "kaibigang" tsina maituturing bang pilipino?

    5. @3:11 at @9:51 Hindi lang po kailangang lawakan ang ating pag-iisip. Mas kailangan pong paganahin din natin ang ating mga pag-iisip. Basahin nyo ang ipinahayag ni G. Eugenio Lopez III regarding his allegiance to the Philippines. "The way I see it, I am first and foremost a Filipino. I will live, I will die in the Philippines..... If it came down to conflict of interest, I will give up my US citizenship in a minute." Napakaliwanag po. Basahin nyo sa itaas.

      Delete
    6. @9:51 Taong 1952 ho ipinanganak si Mr. Gabby Lopez at ang umiiral at sinusunod ay ang 1935 Phil. Constitution. Maging sa 1987 Constitution ay nagtatakdang citizens of the Phil. ang mga taong may mga magulang na Filipino citizens. Kaya ho maliwanag na Filipino citizen si Mr. Lopez.

    7. Not related, napapansin ko lang. Malulugi ang goberyno ng pilipinas kay Mr Lopez, he is earning billions with his network, konti lang tax at may credits pa. Pilipinas pa ang ngkaka-utang sa kanila.

      Di rin magandang halimbawa para sa ibang negoyante sa bansa.

  2. Ang galing ng Congress pagdating sa usapin na to. Napaka mabusisi sa citizenship ng tao. Akala ko ba franchise ang pinaguusapan dito??? Napunta na sa citizenship. Pero yung Anti terror bill bara-bara. Nakakaloko ang Congress. Ang tindi.

    1. Why not? One of the provision in the franchise to broadcast is that it should be "WHOLLY OWNED BY A FILIPINO CITIZEN". Is Lopez a WHOLE/100% filipino when he is also an american citizen? And in fact, Congress is not obliged to hear this franchise bill. They have no obligation whatsoever. This is a PRIVATE BILL. Pasalamat ka nga na dinidinig pa eh para makapagdecide sila kung deserve ba ng ABS ang "PRIVILEGE" na ibibigay nila.

      Delete
    2. 12:41 Isa ka pa. Paulit ulit na lang.
      Yes, Lopez is 100% Filipino.
      Balik ka sa grade school, sama mo mga congressmen. Dinidiscuss na yan doon pa lang.

      Delete
    3. there is no such thing po as a partial Filipino kasi hindi po natin pwedeng sabihin na 1percent american sya then 99 percent filipino o fifty fifty. He is both American and Filipino according to 1935 constitution on citizenship. Yun ang sinusunod dahil pinanganak sya sa mga panahong nakasakop doon.

      Delete
    4. Bakit ako magpapasalamat na gingawa nila trabaho nila??? Utang na loob ko pa??? NOPE. THAT'S THEIR JOB. Are you trying to guilt trip me? It won't work. Wala kong problema kung meticulous sila sa citizenship ng tao kung parehas ang level ng meticulousness nila sa Anti Terror BILL. Bakit todo trabaho sila dito pero sa Anti terror bill na makakaapekto sa bawat Pilipino eh parang hindi man lang pinagusapan ng mabuti.

      Delete
    5. 12:41 matagal na kasing nasagot ang issue. Department of Justice na nga ang nagsabi na Gabby Lopez is a Filipino Citizen since birth based on the PH constitution. Bakit ayaw pa rin tanggapin ng congress when it's already confirmed by DOJ?

      Delete
    6. 12:41 ang nakalagay sa constitution is owned by a dilipino citizen. Di sinabi na bawal ang dual citizenship. Lopez is 100% a fil and 100% american citizen. Kung di pala pwede ang dual dito sa Pinas eh di sana walang chinese or japanese na may ari ng malalaking company.

    8. Hala sya, 12:59, bakit 1935 constitution pa din ginagamit mo?

      "Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article IV, Section 1, it states that:

      Section 1The following are citizens of the Philippines:

      Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution;

      Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;

      Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and

      Those who are naturalized in accordance of law."

      Delete
    9. 12:59 You're maybe right. Citizenship can only be 100%. But how about ALLEGIANCE? If for example, the two countries you hold citizenship with were having conflicts, which side are you going to broadcast?

    10. 1:01 I don't care about what and how you feel. Ngawngaw kayo ng ngawngaw na bigyan ng abs ang prangkisa kahit hindi nila karapatan yun, ngayon na tinatrabaho at binubusisi ngawngaw pa rin kayo? ngawngaw pa more, paki ko kung ma-stroke ka dyan lol

    15. 1:29 Look at Gabby Lopez, his birthdate is part of the 1935 constitution, kaya yun ang basis nung lawyers, alam din yan ng mga mambabatas because most of them are lawyers. Hindi yung kung kelan siya nag apply ng franchise ang basis ng citizenship niya.

    16. 1:29 kung anong year si Lopez pinanganak yun ang nagaaply sa kanya for his citizenship in terms of constitution. Hindi siya pabago bago.

    4. 12.30 well, nung 1990's during the time that he was the ceo of abscbn, he believes na siya ay filipino citizen since birth at american citizen since birth din. Kung dual na siya mula noon until nung naging ceo siya, bakit siya nagapply ng dual citizenship nung early 2000? His move proves that he is not sure about his filipino citizenship status.

      Delete
    5. @12:30 Yun ang sabi sa Constitution natin. Ganito un, when worst comes to worst, if ever may violations nga a person with dual citizenship who owns big corporations/network can simply fly to other country escaping our law.

    6. 12:48 kung bago silang pinanganak day, halimbawa nasa 1986 constitution na sila nasasakop, hindi na sila dual. Kasi iba na ang batas.While in the case of Mr Lopez, 1935 po siya. Magkaiba po yun depende kung kelan ka pinangangak.

    7. 12:48 wala sa batas na dapat mag renounce ng dual citizenship yung mga private individuals ang dapat lang mag renounce ng citizenship ay mga tumatakbong govt officials.

    2. hindi nga sya foreign, dual citizen siya ayon sa 1935 constitution. Kung mas bata siya at hindi na siya umabot sa 1935 lets say ang birthday niya mga 1987 considered na siya as foreign dahil iba na ang batas patungkol sa citizenship, wala ng dual citizenship.

  6. hindi ko alam bakit ito ang pilit na inuungkat sa congress which is pathetic. Parang mga hindi abugado at hindi nagbabasa ng 1935 constitution on citizenship. Nagmumukhang shunga ang nagfofocus dito. Just ask the important questions na pinupukol ninyo sa network at hindi yung itong citizenship ang focus ninyo. It looks stupid when congressmen are grandstanding about being Filipino. Do not us!

Mismong si Christian Monsod na one of the framers of the 1985 Constitution na ang nagsabi ng hindi saklaw ng batas na yun ang broadcasting companies such as ABS dahil utilities such as water, electric companies lang ang sakop nun. Nakaka gigil na. Are we electing grade schoolers?

    3. kasi bumabagal kung himay himayin pa ang ibang hindi importanteng issue. Stick to the issue, hanapan nila ng tax etc. yun ang mas importanteng tanong ng bayan. Hindi ang citizenship ni Gabby Lopez. Malinaw naman sa kalinawan na Pilipino yan. Aksaya ng hearing.

      Delete
    4. 1:27 But is there a law prohibiting dual citizens to own a network? Wala. Ang hinihingi, 100% filipino - na applicable naman kay lopez.
      Kung di sila masaya, gawa sila ng batas about that. Pero as it stands, no violation on citizenship.
      NEXT ISSUE NA.
      At mukhang mahaba habang nonsense pa ang mga ipipilit ng mga congressmen, makahanap lang ng butas.

      Delete
    5. 1935 because Gabby Lopez date of birth is part of 1935 law on citizenship not 1987, or 1978 . Para lang sa kaalaman ng mga tao bakit binabanggit ang 1935 constitution.

      Delete
  7. Wala namang problema. Pwede magmay-ari kung Filipino ka. Hindi naman sinabi ng batas ng kailangan Filipino ka lang.

  8. The hearing was 3 hours long. Paulit-ulit na tanong, paulit-ulit din ang sagot ni Gabby Lopez, his lawyers and DOJ regarding his citizenship. Even some Congressman have stated the Philippine Constitution's Laws regarding Citizenship and yet ayaw pa rin tantanan ng ibang congressman at lalong lalo na ni Marcoleta ang issue. Feeling ba nila na pag pinaulit-ulit ang tanong eh eventually magbabago ang sagot ni Gabby Lopez at mababago din ang constitution ng pilipinas regarding citizenship? It's an issue that can be discussed and be resolved in less than an hour. Nagsayang na naman ng oras at pera ang mga "honorable" congressman natin. Hay pilipinas kong mahal!!!

    1. kasi yung iba grandstanding na 100 percent ang pagka Pilipino nila. Nakakatawa lang dahil marami sa mga mambabatas ay may foreign blood. They are opening a can of worms kaya nga sabi ko wag dapat ginawang issue ang citizenship. Sinabi ng sakop ng 1935 si Lopez ang pinagsasabi nila ay 1986 constitution na wala ng dual citizenship. Lawyers pa man din mga yan.

    2. waste of time ang pagdiscuss sa citizenship issue na ito. Hindi naman tumatakbo si Gabby Lopez for any public office,no need to renounce his dual citizenship.Para yan sa mga kandidato.

    3. pinipilit kasi nilang lituhin ang tao. Sinabi na nga na 1935 ang nag aaply na batas sa citizenship issue ni Gabby Lopez pero ang palabas nila iba na ang batas nung nag apply siya for ownership regarding citizenship dahil 1980s na. Hindi naman basehan kung kelan siya nag apply ng franchise, ang basehan date of birth nya.

      Delete
  9. Simple lang naman yan, ang sabi ng mga lawyers there is nothing in our constitution that prohibits a private citizen with "Dual citizenship" in owning a corporation/mass media company. For as long as you are a Filipino Citizen which Gabby Lopez is, He is entitled to own/run a mass media company. Kung may issue ang congress about dual citizenship, then maybe they should revise/amend the law and simply make it a law na kailangan isa lang ang citizenship mo to own a mass media company. Hindi kasalanan ni Gabby Lopez that he was and American and a Filipino citizen since birth.

    4. Pauli-ulit nilang tinanong si Mr. Lopez kung nag-renounced sya ng kanyang Filipino citizenship. Ang sagot ni Sir Lopez: Never! Dahil hinahanapan ng butas, yong isang honorable congressman, sya na mismo ang nag-interpret na kapag nagpa-renew ka ng US passport mo, automatically nag-renounced ka na ng iba mong citizenship! Isa pang napansin ko rin the same congressman ang nag-cut sa lawyer ni Mr. Lopez habang nag-cite ng mga Supreme Court decisions na pabor kay Mr. Lopez. Ang dahilan: they also do their own readings daw. Bakit hindi na lang patapusin ang lawyer?

    5. Ang isang kagalang-galang na kongresista nagtanong ng Anong % ang pagka-Filipino mo at anong % ang pagka-Amerikano mo? Matino bang tanong yan? Kahit yata sa grade school walang mga ganyang tanong.

      Delete
    6. 3:33 kahit naman iadmit nya na he voted last election sa US wala namang barier yun kasi both US and Philippines has not voting restrictions sa mga dual citezen so technically pwede sya bomoto here and also sa US

    7. @11:09, mukhang mababaw pero kung hihimayin mo may sense yung tanong nya, si gabby lopez ay dual citizen right? so is he 100% filipino or 100% american, kung sinabi nyang he is 100% filipino bakit di pa nya nirerenounce ang pagiging american citizen nya,so basically he is 100% filipino and 100% american ganun ba? Kung sya naman ay 50% filipino and 50% american, well sabit sya dun sa law na dapat 100% filipino ang nagmamay ari sa isang mass media company.

      Delete
    8. he doesnt need to renounce any citizenship dahil 100 percent Filipino siya and 100 percent American siya. Hindi naman din siya tatakbo sa isang elected position sa gobyerno.

      Please wag mo po ipilit na sabi ng DOJ dahil kahit sa US, may records na amerikano si Mr Lopez.

      Ang malaki problema niya, he did not give up his US Citizenship while owning and managing ABSCBN, dahil kung nagging state ng US US pilipinas at kahit US Court ang humawak sa kaso ng ABSCBN network. May makikita talaga violations.

    3. Gabby Lopez is a known supporter of the Democratic Party with a Media business that holds a huge influence Over Filipino Americans. Under oath he said his allegiance is to the Ph and not to America yet he holds a US passport, votes in US elections, and exercisers American privileges. Yes, you’re right. He should be careful. Dual allegiance is against the law in many countries and is a threat to national security.

Nakasaad din sa batas natin yan. Yung pinagbasehan naman ng DOJ, yung pagiging anak nya ng mga Pinoy. For as long as your parents are Filipinos, kahit sang bansa ka pinanganak, basta may proof kang Pinoy magulang mo, Pilipino ka.

    3. 1:37 Constitution po ang pinagbabasehan ng DOJ. Sa kaso ni Gabby 1935 constitution dahil yun ang sumasakop sa birthday niya. Kaya nila binabanggit sa hearing.

  31. Someone does not like the Lopez rule of business anymore. If Lopez wants to save the network and its thousands of employees and media reach, step down for now. Go back in when that someone is out of the picture. #realtalk

  33. Citizenship boils down to your allegiance. Right now, it’s 50-50. So nope, no mass media clout for him.

  34. Dual citizenship is a kalokohan nonsense. You can only have one allegiance to one country. You can’t have a divided allegiance.

    1. Hindi naman lihim yan. Inihayag na yan sa isang press conference. Kaya yang mga hearing na yan, parang zarsuela na lang. Malamang hindi rin aprobahan ni Duterte kahit makapasa sa House of Representatives at Senate!
