It has been more than 5 days after the lower house denied ABS-CBN a fresh 25-year franchise. It caused uproar from the network's employees, supporters and their artists. Each day, they are holding noise barrages around Mother Ignacia Street as they make some noise for the 70 representatives who voted against the franchise to hear.
Angel Locsin is one of some Kapamilya artists who have been very vocal of her support to the network since day 1. She has always been vocal of her position about the franchise issue and her concern for the 11,000 employees who can potentially lose their job now that the franchise was denied. She sure is brokenhearted after the decision was made that it took her five days to compose herself and reflect on what she actually felt about the situation as what she shared on a lengthy post on Tuesday, July 14.
"It took a while before I was able to compose myself and feel how I actually felt about the situation. Alam ko I am sad, alam ko i am angry. Pero may pakiramdam ako ng panghihinayang na hindi ko naiintindihan kung saan nanggagaling nung simula. Ngayon po na-realize ko kung saan nanggagaling ang lahat ng emosyon na ito." she wrote.
What happened to ABS-CBN could have been the chance to fix the imperfections in the entertainment industry but those who voted against the franchise chose the rigid path and pulled the plug instead says Angel
"Ito na sana ang chance para maayos ng ating gobyerno ang entertainment industry. .
I was genuinely hoping that we could turn this into an opportunity to fix the industry’s issues. Hindi lang po sa ABS-CBN, kundi ang kabuohan. Though, to be honest, malaki na po ang improvement kumpara nung nagsisimula palang po ako. Katulad ng working hours, contracts, etc. Pero aminado po ako na marami pa rin pong bagay sa entertainment industry ang kailangan pang ayusin, gaya ng ibang nirereklamo ng ibang laborers.
But those 70 congressmen chose to shutdown the network instead of standing up for the people and fix those problems.
What’s the purpose of those testimonies from laborers fighting for their rights kung dito lang magtatapos? Hindi rin naman sila natulungan. Pinagsalita lang pero iniwan lang rin sa ere. In the end, we, in the entertainment industry, especially the day to day earners, kagaya ng crew, were still denied of the opportunity to work in better labor conditions.
Kumbaga sa health, may sakit po ang entertainment industry. At nalagay ang ating mga kongresista sa sitwasyon na gabayan at ayusin sana. But sadly, the congress chose a rigid path, pulled the plug and ignored the plea of the entertainment people. They chose the easy way out instead of curing the disease.
Bakit dinamay ang karamihan sa personal vendetta ng iilan? Totoong serbisyo para sa tao ba ang ginagawa o gumaganti lang dahil na-expose ang ilang pagkakamali nila?"
The actress-philanthropist ended her post by reassuring that she'll fight even though it's a tough battle because her Kapamilyas need her more than ever.
"Kaya ako lumalaban, kahit mahirap at tagilid, kailangan ng mga kasama ko ang karamay ngayon, higit kailan man. Naniniwala akong hindi mawawalan ng saysay ang lahat...dahil tatatak ito sa kasaysayan and we, the Filipino people will never forget "
