MANILA – Malacañang slammed critics claiming that the shutdown of ABS-CBN network due to absence of legislative franchise has caused “information gaps” in calamities such as the onslaught of Typhoon “Rolly.”
In a situational briefing on Monday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said both private and government media are doing their best in providing news updates to keep the public informed.
“Sa tingin ko po nagbibigay–pugay po tayo lalung-lalo na sa mga PTV reporters, sa PIA. Gumagana po ‘yung communication infrastructure ng gobyerno sa panahon ng aberya,” Roque said.
“Nandiyan din po ang ating mga pribadong mga news agencies nandiyan po ang TV5, nandiyan po ang GMA 7 at nandiyan po ‘yung mga matatapang at magagaling, masisipag na reporters ng radyo,” he added./PN
