SMNI investigation by Congress, "THREAT TO PHILIPPINE PRESS FREEDOM"?

What is happening with the Philippine Congress investigation of Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) broadcast network, which some observers decry as "harassment" or "bullying" of SMNI? Critics of this congressional inquiry say that this "produces a chilling effect on media"?
What about the angry accusations of some congressmen, allies of Speaker Martin Romualdez, who complain that a TV talk show host of SMNI had unfairly committed or spread "disinformation" regarding the claim of P1.8 billion pesos in alleged 2022 travel expenses by the Speaker?
Watch this RUclips video of the December 1, 2023 "Pandesal Forum at 84-year-old Kamuning Bakery Cafe at Judge Jimenez Street corner K-1st Street, Barangay, Quezon City, the Philippines.
Apart from the controversy on the SMNI investigation by Philippine Congress, the following resource speakers from the anti-crime NGO also discussed other issues such as the contentious proposal of some politicians to revive or allow the Europe-based International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate former President Rodrigo R. Duterte for his draconian "War on Drugs", the situation of the President Bongbong Marcos and Vice-President Sara Duterte "Uniteam" political coalition, the recent release from detention of opposition Senator Leila de Lima, and many other hot topics.
