TV5 and Nation Broadcasting Corporation filed a case to NTC on SkyCable's refusal to carry AKSYONtv

ABC Development Corporation (TV5) and Nation Broadcasting Corporation has filed a case against SkyCable Corporation for its refusal to carry AKSYONtv (UHF Channel 41), which is a Free-TV Channels.

SkyCable is basically violating the "Must-Carry Tule" for Terrestrial Channels (NTC Memorandum Circular No. 4-08-88). The "Must-Carry Rule" basically mean Terrestrial Channels must be carried by Cable & Satellite Companies, because NTC is the only one who have "exclusive jurisdiction to supervise, regulate and control telecommunications and broadcast services/facilities in the Philippines. The imposition of the must-carry rule is within the NTC's power to promulgate rules and regulations, as public safety and interest may require, to encourage a larger and more effective use of communications, radio and television broadcasting facilities, and to maintain effective competition among private entities in these activities whenever the Commission finds it reasonably feasible"
