Update the TV network was ordered by the courts not to air political attack ads due to election regulations in the Philippines. This has been updated to Restraining order against a TV network.

Note the person who just filed the lawsuit against the TV network won the Philippine Presidency.

The Al-Jazeera story noted that incorrectly noted Cebuano and Bisaya are different. For the record, Visayan/Cebuano is the same language and it is the native language of Cebu and the middle region of those tiny islands that make up "Visayas". The writer probably meant that Visayan is the lingua franca of Mindanao. This probably stems from the widespread misunderstanding of the definition of "dialect" among Filipinos.
