Three years ago today, #ABSCBN went off the air and ceased their TV and AM/FM radio broadcast transmissions.

The non-renewal of its broadcast franchise is still one of the biggest political moves of the past #Duterte administration and was simply because its allied legislators didn’t like ABS-CBN’s news coverage.
