Is Franchise a Right or a Privilege?

A franchise is defined as “a right or privilege, affected with public interest which is conferred upon private persons or corporations, under such terms and conditions as the government and its political subdivisions may impose in the interest of public welfare, security, and safety.” (Section 131, par. m of the Local Government Code)

A franchise is defined to be a special privilege to do certain things conferred by government on an individual or corporation, and which does not belong to citizens generally of common right.

A franchise is basically a legislative grant of a special privilege to a person. (New Vision Satellite Network, Inc. v. The Provincial Government of Cagayan, G.R. No. 248840, July 5, 2021)
