ABS-CBN and all news media organizations have the duty under the code of ethics to exhaust all avenues to work for access to info. Under the law, any media producer/practitioner can blocktime: Blocktiming (contracts to buy and use airtime) is governed by the Civil Code, and the Regional Trial Court has jurisdiction (while the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have appellate jurisdiction). On the manner of practice, the KBP has “regulatory supervision” over member-blocktimers .
