Now that we have Ador, when will Cardo come? I'm pretty sure he can kill them all

I think you should do your research. They are not really criminals, it’s just that our Constitution is full of loop holes. If you are an enemy of the admin then they find every loop hole they can find to put you in jail or put you out of business. So many politicians are acquitted criminals yet they are in office. Even the drug lords are not in jail even if their names are out there. (⌒▽⌒)

No, you're the one who should do their research. They broke the law so they're criminals. I'm not saying their employees are, but the ones at the top. From the very start, the Lopez' method of acquisition of the company from Cory after she became president was not done legally. I don't even know why the Aquinos are supported. I'd rather have a president who speaks crudely but sincerely does his best for the betterment of the country than those who speak eloquently but only does things that will give them personal benefits. I'd rather determine first whether the basis of my principles are factual or not. I don't trust the media blindly because they can conceal or manipulate the information while the people would listen incessantly. I won't be a slave to the media and even more so to the people who push for the democracy that's only a facade.

Yeah, you should do your research. You can’t convince me if what you’re talking about isn’t even true. You should read about the history of ABS-CBN first before spouting nonsense. Did you even watch the broadcast of hearings? I doubt it. You say you won’t be a slave to the media but I think you have been brainwashed by the admin already seeing as you fail to realize how the admin has failed our country during this this time of pandemic.

You're telling me to read about ABS-CBN's history, but who were the people wrote that? Would that actually be factual? History is written by the winner, and no matter how stupid a person can be, no one would willingly tell the world about their wrongful deeds and sins! Ikaw, ilalabas mo ba yung baho mo kung ikaw yung nasa posisyon nila? NO! So why would I believe that?
Well, no debate can actually change each other's point of view. I just hope that instead of being all bitchy towards my opinion, you would respect it because I respect your opinion
There's neither absolute correct or wrong nor good or evil, and we just look at it at different ways. The Duterte administration has good points but also flaws, I focus on the light I see in it and you don't, but that's fine. Because I also focus on the dark side of ABS rather than what the light you see. I just feel offended that you're attacking me,calling my comment "apathetic". Don’t really know who's ignorant between us.

Haaaay, I thought you were intelligent but your replies just keep on disappointing me. You’re totally being apathetic because thousands of Filipinos have lost their jobs because of the non-renewal and I’m not talking about the rich artists, but the ones behind the scenes because they make up the bulk of the workers. There could have been a compromise between the corporation and the congress since ABS-CBN’s violations could be easily dealt with but no, they chose to reject the renewal of the franchise without even batting an eye. Let me remind you again that we are in the midst of a pandemic. You can’t just easily find a new job since most companies are cutting costs. Are you already working? Because if you aren’t, then I guess that’s what makes you apathetic to those workers. The government only favors their allies. Haven’t you heard of Sinas or Pimentel??? They have committed violations during the quarantine but they were never punished because they are allies of those in power. I hope you think more about the nation and see the injustice that is happening to our country. You can’t just say that history is written by the winners. Have you never studied history in school? Filipinos are always taken advantage of by the more powerful. In history, those are the colonizers but now, it’s the government that’s abusing their power. I hope if you ever reply, don’t reply for the sake of winning an argument because that just goes to show how ignorant you are of what’s happening around you.

Agreed. In the first place, if they actually cared more about their employees, then they would've tried their hardest to pay off their debts and pay their taxes. They would've ensured that their company was sincere and transparent so that no one can ever say anything about their company. They would've ensured that so that their employees are guaranteed to have a stable job! But they didn't! They just stuffed their wallets and pockets and now the time has come for them to pay and they couldn't! Their employees are victims because they depended upon them, they were fooled because they thought that ABS-CBN would be a company who would give them a brighter future!
And don't get me started on "replying to win the argument". In the first place, we were talking about the legality of ABS-CBN's actions. You were the one who suddenly talked about employees, implying that they should've been considered first? That's red herring, it seems that you're just trying to find reasons and loopholes to hate the government. Think about this, if a thief was a breadwinner with 10 family members depending upon him/her, should he not be labeled as a criminal and arrested because his/her family members would not have a source of money? Hell no! I hope you do not justify their actions just because they have thousands of subordinates. In fact, the thief is even better because there was a reason for hin/her to do that, he/she had no choice while those suckers that is at the top of ABS-CBN had, they just chose to be selfish and risk the livelihood of their employees by doing so.

Yeah i knew it, you will never research and just rely on what you have read on facebook, maybe from die-hard Duterte supporters (DDS). This is from inquirer, since you can’t be bothered to research about the hearings. Your reply just confirmed that you know nothing but what is being spread by DDS; “ABS-CBN Corp. has no tax default as it has been “regularly” paying taxes for the past years, an official of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) told a House joint committee hearing on Wednesday.In fact, BIR Assistant Commissioner Manuel Mapoy said during the public hearing on ABS-CBN’s franchise that the broadcasting company has paid over P15.3 billion in taxes from 2016 to 2019.
He added that the media network giant has no outstanding delinquent account as it was able to pay deficiency taxes.“ Again if ABS-CBN heads are truly criminals, then there will be cases filed against them and they will have to serve for their crimes.
I hope you put your intelligence into good use. May you grow up to be empathetic yet objective.

Hi, they did! They have filed for the renewal years ago but were purposely ignored since it was the admin’s wish to put a stop to their network. I wish you would also research first before commenting. What the congress has presented during the hearings were all the loop holes they could find but honestly if you apply the laws to all of the corporations in the Philippines, i doubt there would be any big corporations left. That’s just how it is because our Constitution really needs revising but that would be difficult since the people in power can abuse it. Let’s all be informed citizens of our country. Knowledge is power!!! To anyone reading this, I hope you have a good time reading mangas in this illegal site

Let me add something because I feel like you won’t research about it since you are so blinded with the light of the government that you are looking at. ”The committee found that ABS-CBN was “undeserving” of renewal even though hearings found that the broadcaster had not violated any legal provisions under its previous 25-year franchise“
Okay, read it again but s l o w l y.

Here again, just to do the research for you.
If we’re talking about debts. Let me tell you about the debts of the government that will be paid by the taxpayers (⌒▽⌒) This is from CNN, since you want transparency, “ The Philippines' total debt load has grown to ₱8.89 trillion in May as authorities borrowed aggressively to fund programs aimed at easing the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Bureau of the Treasury reported Tuesday that total loans moved closer to ₱9 trillion, growing by 12.3 percent or ₱975.2 billion compared to May 2019. The figure also rose from April's ₱8.6 trillion level.
The Treasury said the spike is due to "increased reliance" on raising money through bond issuances as well as foreign loans as the state had to secure additional funds to support COVID-19 response measures, given a sharp drop in tax collections during the weeks under lockdown.”
Aaand you can’t say that this information is not true because the media is manipulating it or whatever because they can’t really post false information since officials can press charges if this is proven to be fake news.

Alright. I'm feeling a bit tired of this but I mean no disrespect. I have already said so but I do know that debates don't really change the opinions of each other. I can provide more research to back up my claims, but I'm not really enthusiastic about this now because I the ice cream I tried to make by whipping 'whipping cream' for 3 hours didn't taste good.

Another thing, even tho that's the case, I still gained more knowledge about the topic, and although I have no will to do so right now, I know how I can explain my side with even more solid evidences and research next time. Even thoigh you haven't changed my opinion, you still helped me gain more insight and I thank you for that. I also think that it's good that there are still Filipinos like us that are trying to think about our country's situations and issues. Although we are pushing for different sides, I think we have a lot to learn from each other. Shame that I didn't really provide more from my side, sorry about that.
I don't really intend to reply to this thread with arguments anymore but I do hope that people who read the previous replies have gained underatanding of the issue. I may have more to say but I don't really have the motivation to do so because I know I can't really convince the other party. Also, I'm only 14 so if you think I'm still immature, that's also fine. I accept that flaw and will strive to do better and become wiser with age. Hope y'all have a good day.

I actually know that you’re really young based on your dp and it’s also the reason why I kept on commenting here because I really want you to be more informed. I’m eight years older than you. I’m already working and just the thought of losing a job during this pandemic is truly a nightmare. It just sucks that a lot of people are living that nightmare because of the non renewal of the franchise. I hope you can watch this video if you’re really willing to learn more, https://youtu.be/pAj7iiiNmn8

.This is not like in order i’m sorry
Aria actually has a noble blood. Her father was a son of a marquis in Kingdom of Croa(neighboring kingdom) and Violet(who is a member of the royal family(her husband was asher’s grandfather/relative i think) but got banished with Aria’s father(Chloe is his name).
Asher also has a power where he can like travel fast through space and that is bc every member of a royal family will inherit abilities from the first emperor which is like half god. That also explains Aria’s power(the hourglass). Since she’s a grand daughter of Violet, she also inherited some abilities but since she’s like a distant relative, her side effects were quite severe(she can only use the hourglass once a day since it’s draining her energy.
Oscar will kinda like stay away from Aria because his sister Princess Isis(Asher’s supposedly betrothed) is threatening him and ordered him to announce his engagement to Mielle early. Isis and Mielle became kinda like partners and Isis ordering Mielle to get rid of Aria but she always fails.
Mielle also tried to kill Aria by odering a maid to put poison on Aria’s drink but Aria got away with ut through the hourglass. Mielle’s maid(the one which is always with her which acts like her mom) became the main suspect and was executed.
In the court, Asher and Aria met(they were already quite close this time and Asher always kisses Aria’s hand where Aria always blushes) then Isis kinda caught them and asked Asher why is he with the daughter of a prostitute and said that they were supposed to marry each other and Asher replied that isn’t she a bit delusional omg i’m cackling ahahaha.
Princess Isis is a member of the Aristocratic Faction which is like Asher’s enemy. During the time when Aria still didn’t knew that Asher is the crown prince, she attended several meetings led by Asher bc Asher is amused with her intelligence and wants to ask for her opinions.
Also Rain, the one who visits Mielle was one of Asher’s men. Bc Aria said her name is Mielle when they first met, Asher thought it was Mielle and not Aria that’s why Rain is giving more attention to Mielle. He was like testing her if she’s really smart and intelligent as Asher said. Rain also thought it was Mielle who suggested the fur business where in fact it was Aria but the count didn’t even bother to correct him. This was the start that Aria don’t want to help the count anymore on his business and continued to act like she don’t know anything. Whenever Rain asks Mielle an opinion about business, her replies are always stupid shits that’s why Rain was dissappointed.
During Iris’s birthday, Asher attended bc Mielle was there and he wanted to see her but when she saw Mielle’s face, He was like “Who are you?!” and Mielle came back home crying.
Aria also began her business secretly where she invests on businesses that she knew will be successful in the future. She was known as Inverstor A. She got quite famous bc of that and kinda created a faction that can soon rival the Aristocratic Faction.
Mielle also tried to frame Aria again by pushing her own father on the stairs. But fortunately, Aria’s bracelet which was given by Asher got torn so Asher arrived quickly and got Aria out of the scene fast with his power. The count fell into coma and the problem was brought into the court. The judge, Frey, is a daughter of Violet which obviously is Aria’s aunt so Aria is quite in the advantage. Aria and Asher actually traveled and left traces when the left the mansion suddenly and they used that as evidence.
Mielle was then held guilty and was given 20 years in prison but then her father woke up so she only got house arrested for one year.
But she then escaped with the help of Isis and they went to Croa and she disguised as Isis’s maid. Isis knew that she can’t marry and control Asher now so she decided to marry Croa’s king and perform a rebellion against the empire. But little did she know that Croa’s king was an acquaintance of Asher. Lohan(croa’s king) pretended to be good to her just to stab her in the back.
Isis’s plan severly failed and all of the members of Aristocratic faction were punished with beheading except mielle and cain(aria has separate plans for them)
Annie is also one of my favorite characters for now(i still jave to finish it) i just love how naive and ambitious she is she’s also the one who spreads rumors ordered by Aria bc that’s what she’s good at Aria also match made her with a Baron which is one of Aria’s chosen businessmen for her business.
Aria and Asher also have a couple ring which is a royal heirloom. It emits blue light whenever one of them used their power. Isn’t it kinda cute w.w
On Aria’s 16th(is it 17th? i forgot sorry) birthday, she told Asher everything including her reincarnation and that she’s 10 years older than him. She also told him how evil she was before but he still accepted her(give me an Asher please)
Asher also got mad jealous when he knew about Aria’s past engagements with men. Trust me, their conversation was really cute
Aria’s mother, Carin also divorced the count when the rebellion happened. Aria wanted her to marry Chloe bc she can see that Chloe rlly loves her mother but Carin refused☹/but i don’t know if they got married in the future chapters/
Lohan is also quite an interesting and funny character He made Mielle fall for him amd forget Oscar just by acting good to her. Then here’s Mielle who misunderstood all of that and thought he could rlly marry Logan what a bitch.
He always provokes Asher by telling Aria to be with him which made Asher jealous u.u
Also Vika, one of Asher’s men, also the adviser of Aristocratic faction’s adviser, was sent to Asher’s group to spy not knowing he is one of Asher’s men in the first place He is also one of the most trusted person of Iris that’s why Iris almost went nuts when she found out Vika was a traitor.
For Cain, he’s like a twisted man>.> He fall deeply for Aria to the point that he went insanely mad when he heard that Aria and Asher shared a kiss. He became the acting count when the count fell into coma. He even ordered to lock Aria inside her room and even tie her(it’s quite kinky tho sorry ><) but then no one followed his orders bc all of the servants were on Aria’s side now.

Cain become a servant in the palace while mielle become a maid of aria(annie).Clhoe did marry Carin fewday before aria's bday which is also before the crown prince proposed to aria. And mielle believed that aria is a good sister coz aria saved her and cain from execution of the rebels and work as maid. But she died when she tried to poison annie as a prank(coz she thought the poison was just a lil but actually a lot)but instead cain is the da one who drank and died and ppl brlieved that mielle tried to kill aria.The end is aria married asher, annie married baron burboom and the other maid(sorry i cant remember ur name)married hans(which is their marriage is before the end.
so I'm already at chap2300 of the novel when i found out this has a freaking manhua ughh hope this won't disappoint me tho
did i read that right 2300?? HUH
it has 2490 chapters but don't worry, the chaps are short since some chaps are just broken down to parts plus this manhua is also fast paced since it's already on chap150+ of the novel i think
i’m on chapter 1860 and the website i’m reading it on has one of the tags as supernatural and i was wondering if it every gets supernatural
the latest update should be around 360 in the novel
maybe the supernatural element is just the part in the beginning where time rewinds? i can't really imagine like fairies or anything showing up later on
