The ruling People Power Party(PPP) continued its filibuster for a second day on Friday to block the parliamentary passage of a revision bill on broadcasting laws.

The filibuster began when PPP Rep. Choi Hyung-du took the floor at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, followed by main opposition Democratic Party(DP) lawmaker Han Jun-ho and PPP lawmaker Park Dae-chul. 

As of 6:30 a.m. Friday, DP Rep. Mo Gyeong-jong was delivering a speech.

The rival parties have been blaming each other for the crippled system of the Korea Communications Commission(KCC), which operated through a two-person rule system instead of the required five. 

The filibuster is set to end Friday afternoon, when the DP-dominated National Assembly is expected to put the revision bill to a vote during a plenary session. 

The DP said it plans to pass four broadcasting bills one by one while the PPP said it intends to request a filibuster for each bill.
