While he reaffirmed his loyalty to President Rodrigo Duterte, a strong critic of the network, the senator said that he would still support Senate hearings on ABS-CBN’s franchise bill for as long as the panel would not come up with a report.

“E kung mabigat yung akusasyon na talagang maraming viniolate ang ABS, bakit mo pa ire-renew. Kung talagang ma prove dun sa hearing na grabe.. sinamanlala ng husto ng ABS-CBN ang samabayanang Pilipino, bakit nyo pa i-renew?” said Bato.

“Kelangang fair tayo sa lahat. Pero kung sabihin mo may bias ako ngayon, hindi ako plastic na magsabi sa inyo na wala akong bias. Ako ay totoong tao, sabi ko may bias ako towards my President.”

Paano naman po ang pamilya ng bawa’t isa sa 11,000? Kay dami pong sinusuportahan, pinapaaral, tinutulungan ng 11,000. May maipapalit po bang hanap buhay para sa lahat? Parang hindi naman ganun kadali humanap ng trabaho para sa lahat ng mawawalan ng hanap buhay. Nakakalungkot 😞 https://t.co/DiLpcmXCpf

Sa tutoo lang, naiiyak ako sa mga naririnig kong salita. Bakit naman ganyan? Napakasakit naman 😞 Hindi biro na mawalan ng hanap buhay. Hindi mo dapat ito gustuhin para sa kapwa mo at sabihin na ikabubuti ito ng pangkalahatan. May maibibigay bang kapalit na trabaho? Paano na?

My next vlog is for Senator Bato. I’ll give tips kung paano ako nakakuha ng 10-years Multiple Entry US Visa. Para di’ na siya mag-tantrums.

When you're a public servant and your loyalty is towards a person and not towards the country, ang tawag dyan, TUTA.

Sing along time ..
🎤🎼 Di mo alam dahil dito
Daming di makakain
Di rin makakatulog
Dahil gusto mong saraduhin
Kung ako'y muling boboto
Sana'y di maging katulad mo..
Tulad mo na May pusong... BATO! 😞 https://t.co/jOqRnKH66p
