The Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to file a complaint against ABS-CBN before the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa
Pilipinas (KBP) for airing the exclusive interview of MILF Commander Bravo, also known as Abdurrahman Macaapar.
Justice Sec. Raul M. Gonzalez Sr. said he believes ABS-CBN violated the Broadcast Code of the KBP since Bravo is the object of an extensive government manhunt.
Gonzales added the DOJ would also study if ABS-CBN did not violate its franchise which prohibits the broadcast or airing of interviews that tend to incide sedition or rebellion against the government.
Gonzalez cited the statements of Bravo -- “Magkakaubusan ng lahi†and “Amin ang Mindanao†amid the shouting of his cohorts.
According to the DOJ chief, said statements were answers to the “loaded question†of ABS-CBN reporter Jorge Carino, asking what Bravo would do if they fail to get what they want.
Gonzalez said Carino may also be summoned to explain on the issue.
Gonzales hinted that ABS-CBN should provide the government with information about the whereabouts of Bravo, considering that millions of pesos have been spent for his capture him.
