Actress Maricar Reyes-Poon wrote an open letter to thank ABS-CBN for the help she received from them.
In her Instagram post last week, Reyes said that while she’s sad for what happened to ABS-CBN, she still respected the decision of the House of Representatives against Kapamilya Network.
At first, she thought that Congress would allow ABS-CBN to operate while they’re fixing the alleged violations they made, but worse happened.
“ABSCBN. Di ko makakalimutan ang tulong nila sa akin… especially at the lowest point of my public life… nandun sila LAHAT para tumulong,” said Reyes-Poon.
“I really thought congress would still grant them a franchise, then give the proper consequences for any proven violations… But the decision was not up to me, but to the elected officials. I will respect that,” she added.
She then sent a message of encouragement to the people affected by ABS-CBN shutdown.
“I pray for those who are worried about their future. Please don’t lose hope… there is always a way out of the darkest situations,” she said.
“God is just & righteous. And He knows better than we ever will. Let’s trust Him on this,” she added.
“In the future we will all understand WHY this happened. Till, then… mahigpit na YAKAP SA LAHAT NG NAGHIHIRAP ngayong panahon ng pandemya —- KAPAMILYA MAN O HINDI,” she also said.
The franchise application of ABS-CBN junked by 70 lawmakers on July 10, citing alleged violations committed by the broadcasting network giant.
The decision has been criticized by celebrities and netizens.
