== Controversy ==
Due to the fact that the network is known to broadcast personal information of dissidents such as photos and videos of themselves and their families, countries such as China and Iran condemned the Philippines citing "hypocrisy" and "violation of privacy". Furthermore, some allies to the Philippines such as the United States also expressed their concerns towards the Philippine government for their decision to broadcast live executions and torture of political opponents. However, no actions were taken against the Philippines due to its influence over world politics and the fact their actions is "God's work" and is sanctioned by the Philippine Catholic Church.
