Journalist Karen Davila is also preparing to lost her job in ABS-CBN after her long-time colleague, Ces Oreña-Drilon, announced that she’s going to lost her job in August 31.

Oreña-Drilon was among the hundreds of workers that would be affected by the decision of ABS-CBN after the House of Representatives rejected their franchise application.

“This was one of the toughest days I had to face. Telling fellow kapamilyas that they would lose their jobs by end of August. I lost mine too,” Oreña-Drilon tweeted.

She worked at ABS-CBN since 1989 and one of the most vocal defenders of ABS-CBN during the franchise issue of the said network.

Karen Davila expressed her sadness over the news, saying that she’s also preparing for the same situation.

“This is heartbreaking. @cesdrilon it’s been an honor to be alongside you in Bandila. You are an ABSCBN news icon and inspiration. I am preparing my heart as well for the worst and will stand by ABSCBN til the end,”

As a response, Oreña-Drilon urged Davila to continue what she’s doing.

“Thank you for these words of comfort Karen. Keep on exposing the lies and wrongdoing. This isn’t goodbye. See you again soon. Magsasama ulit tayo! Once a kapamilya, always a kampamilya!”

Davila then blamed the government for what’s happening to ABS-CBN right now.

“People have lost their jobs today. From top to bottom. Entire departments wiped out. Programs that supported thousands of artists, now off the air. The government didnt kill the Lopezes, they killed the livelihood of their own people. #70congressmen #ABSCBNFranchiseRenewal” she said.

On July 10, the 70 lawmakers voted against the franchise application of ABS-CBN, citing several violations allegedly committed by the television network giant.

 

Netizen on ABS-CBN issue: “Kung meron mang dapat sisihin sa pangyayari – hindi ang gobyerno kundi ang may-ari”

A netizen made a viral post about his reaction to the decision of the House of Representatives to reject the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

In his post, Marvin Torre said that he was saddened by employees of ABS-CBN who lost their job because of the decision of the 70 lawmakers, but he believes that in every battle, having collateral damage was inevitable.

According to him, people should stop blaming the government on what’s happening to ABS-CBN, saying that the executives thought that they’re untouchables.

He also cited that ABS-CBN committed tax avoidance to avoid paying a significant amount of money to the government.

Torre then mentioned Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta, who said that he’s just waiting for ABS-CBN to get down of their high horse during the 12-day house hearing. However, the people behind the Kapamilya network still insisted that they’re not doing something illegal.

The netizen clarified that he’s with the affected employees of ABS-CBN, but he said that they should also realize that the leaders of the Kapamilya network should be blamed on what’s happening to them.

He urged the employees not to allow themselves to be used by the executives of the Kapamilya network for their personal gains.

Here’s what Torre posted:

Sa totoo lang, ang laban sa pagitan ng ABS-CBN at gobyerno ay mahirap na laban. Kagaya ng anumang digmaan, hindi maiiwasan ang COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

At bagama’t nagtagumpay ang gobyerno, magkahalong saya at lungkot ang mararamdaman ng sinuman na may puso para sa kaniyang mga kababayan. Bakit? Dahil kapwa niya Pilipino ang mga CASUALTIES dito.

Ngunit, nangyari na. Nanaig ang dapat manaig.

At kung meron mang dapat sisihin sa pangyayari – hindi ang gobyerno kundi ang may-ari. Sila ang nagpabaya. Sila ang nagmalabis. Masyado silang nagmataas.

NAGPABAYA dahil 2014 pa sila unang nag-apply ng renewal ng franchise ngunit kanila rin itong binawi. Hinintay pa nila kung kailan nasa huling oras na nila. Nagkaroon ba ng problema sa pagitan ng Lopezes at Aquino administration?

NAGMALABIS dahil marami silang empleyado na dumaan na ang mahigit isang dekada ngunit hanggang ngayon ay contractual pa rin! Nagmalabis dahil gumamit sila ng TAX AVOIDANCE SCHEME para lang makaiwas sa malaking bayarin ng buwis sa gobyerno. Hindi nga ba’t meron silang utang sa gobyerno na P1.6-B na na-write off? Grabeh! Nangutang sila na inirekord sa tubig!!

NAGMATAAS dahil bagama’t sinasabi nila na tao lang din sila at nagkakamali ngunit WALA ISA MAN sa mga iniaakusa sa kanila ang kanilang INAMIN.

Ayon nga kay Rep. Marcoleta, iyon lamang ang hinihintay niya: ang magpakababa dahil ang kanilang paghingi ay katulad ng isang panliligaw. Ngunit sa halip, lalo pa nilang ipinagdiinan sa kanilang pagbabalita na wala umano silang nilalabag na anumang batas!

SAAN hinugot kung ganoon ang sinabi ni Mr. Katigbak na sila man ay nagkakamali rin kung wala ni isa man silang inaamin?

Kaya sa mga naapektuhan, paumanhin po. Hindi po tayo ang magkakalaban. Masakit na makita kayong “nagluluksa” dahil sa “pagkamatay” ng inyong “KAPAMILYA”. Nangyari pa sa panahon ng pandemya.

Ngunit gaya nga ng nasabi sa unang pahayag, hindi gobyerno ang dapat sisihin dito kundi ang pagmamalabis, pagiging tuso, pagpapabaya at kawalang malasakit ng may-ari at pamunuan sa inyo.

Huwag po kayong pagamit sa kanila upang muli silang makabalik para muling makapanamantala.

Ang usaping legal ay dapat dinadaan sa tamang proseso na hindi kailangang gumamit ng emotional appeal sa pamamagitan ninyo. Kung wala talaga silang kasalanan, hindi nila kayo kailangang gamitin at sa halip patunayan nila ito na hindi kayo kailangang nasa kanilang likuran.

Kapamilya network claims that 11,000 employees were affected by the ABS-CBN shutdown.

ABS-CBN has been accused of tax avoidance and violation of labor laws, but government agencies like BIR and SEC said that the Kapamilya network has no violation.

However, Rep. Boying Remulla questioned ABS-CBN avail of incentives.

“Lahat ng pinag-uusapan dito kapag sa buwis, sinasabi niyong nabayaran niyo lahat at sinasabi niyong di kayo gumawa ng paraan para bumaba ang buwis niyo,” he said.

“Is that what ABS-CBN is saying? You don’t have tax avoidance mechanisms? … Tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is illegal. Tax incentive is a tax avoidance measure,” he added.

Journalist claims that he’s being hired as editor-in-chief of ‘Dragon Broadcasting Network’ that rumored to replace ABS-CBN

A journalist who’s being critical to China claimed that a Chinese-owned broadcasting network will replace ABS-CBN.

Waldy Carbonell revealed the information during a live Facebook feed, saying that ‘Dragon Broadcasting Network’ was rumored to take the frequencies of the Kapamilya network after the house of representatives junked its franchise application.

According to him, they’re really planned to close down ABS-CBN to give the frequencies to the Chinese.

Carbonell who’s criticizing China many times and even burned its flag in public said that he’s being hired as the editor-in-chief of Dragon Broadcasting Network.

“Ako po ay kinukuha bilang editor-in-chief ng news department. Mataas pong posisyon yan at aaminin ko, I feel flattered.” Carbonell said.

The journalist said that he’s being invited to join the Chinese-owned company because he’s the most qualified among the journalist that Dragon Network saw.

He also claimed that the people behind the Dragon Broadcasting Network talked to the lawmakers to reject the franchise of ABS-CBN.

Carbonell worked at ABS-CBN and became an Iraq war correspondent.

 

Netizens and bloggers quickly reacted to the exposé of Carbonell.

“So the latest pasabog is this, a certain Waldy Carbonell, who is known for his anti-China antics, is reportedly recruited by a “China owned” network named “Dragon Broadcasting Network” to be its Editor-in-Chief. Sounds logical,” blogger Sass Rogando Sasot said.

“NBI should conduct an investigation against Waldy Carbonell spreading FAKE NEWS about Dragon Broadcasting Network,” netizen Jean-Paul Elizalde remarked.

A Twitter user also questioned the veracity of the information given by Carbonell.

“If Carbonell’s claims are true, and I am sure he knows that it’s unlawful, why did he not report it to the authorities? Why didn’t he inform Congress during the @ABSCBN franchise deliberations? Why now?” @itsfinetogrieve wrote.

“In sum, until Carbonell provides evidence, his claim can be safely taken for granted. What it tells us, however, is how gullible ABS-CBN’s supporters are, and how desperate ABS-CBN is right now. Sa salitang bakla, ISA ITONG ONE MASSIVE KACHARUTAN!” he also said.

Malacanang has yet to comment on the revelation of the journalist.

Netizen tells critic that he agree that Duterte is the ‘dumbest’ President: “If he is the dumbest president, how come we are winning?”

Amid the issue of ABS-CBN shutdown, one of the popular social media users on Twitter and motivational speaker M.A. Buendía HD called President Rodrigo Duterte the ‘dumbest president’ of the Philippines.

“Duterte is the dumbest president of this country. You may disagree coz you’re dumb too,” Buendía said.

As a response, netizen Tio Moreno wrote a lengthy post, saying that he agrees with Buendía’s judgment to Duterte.

“I agree with you! That means, I ain’t dumb,” Moreno told Buendía.

At first, netizens thought that Moreno was also a critic of President Duterte, but after reading the next line of the latter’s post, they realized that he’s defending the chief executive from the ‘motivational speaker’.

Moreno showcased the achievements of Duterte who’s also lawyer after Buendía belittled the President’s intellect.

Here’s Moreno’s post:

Duterte is the dumbest president who’s able to topple down Oligarchs that have been abusing our Constitution without using Martial Law.

The dumbest president who’s able to provide free tuition fees for State Colleges and Universities.

The dumbest president who’s able to clean up Boracay, Pasig, and Manila Bay after being abandoned by the previous admins.

The dumbest president who’s able to end the life of the two topmost terrorists Hapilon and Maute. And signed Anti Terrorism Law for the security of the country in general.

The dumbest president who’s able to distribute the long-overdue Hacienda Luisita to the farmers.

The dumbest president who’s able to complete a total of 137,098 classrooms, 129 evacuation centers, 23,657 km of roads, 4,959 km of bridges, & 8,941 flood mitigation structures & drainage system projects as of May 2020 and there’s more to come.

The dumbest president who’s able to stop the tanim bala bullsh*t which causes fear and anxiety for our OFWs which is rampant during Pnoy’s time.

The dumbest president who’s able to distribute the agricultural equipment that were purchased by the previous admin but weren’t distributed for some political reasons.

The dumbest president who’s able to expose and jail local executives, judges, and other top officials in government like Sereno and De Lima.

I’d rather call him dumb because I am seeing actions than calling him “disente” and has done nothing.

If he is the dumbest president, how come we are winning?

As a response, Buendía blocked Moreno on Twitter.

In several speeches, President Duterte also made fun of himself by telling the audience that he’s a bad student.

“75 lang [ang grade]. Now if you give me 75 for my performance, fine. Hanggang diyan lang ako, anong magagawa ko?” he said.

However, Duterte said that the bad student is now the President and being served by his cabinet members who graduated as top students.

“Art Tugade, he was valedictorian sa College of Law sa San Beda. Ako, 75 lang. Pero sabi ko, halika, magtrabaho ka sa akin. Magtrabaho ka. Ganun ang buhay, kaya kayo diyan sa ano, dahan-dahan lang. Ang buhay, weather-weather lang. Tama talaga si ano,” Duterte said.

Veteran actress Isabel Rivas slammed Vivian Velez after the latter cheered for the decision of the Congress to junk the franchise of ABS-CBN.

A series of Facebook posts made by Velez who’s a known supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte celebrating the decision against ABS-CBN triggered Rivaz.

The actress also expressed amazement to Sagip Party-List Representative and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta who’s a known critic of ABS-CBN and led the grilling of Kapamilya Network during the 12-day congress hearing.

As a response, Rivaz called Velez a worthless and ungrateful woman.

“Walang kwentang tao talaga ito, sexy ka lang nung araw pero no brains ka talaga… nanaba na lang sana utak mo ng may natira ka pang indsutria na rerespeto sayo.. adding isult to injury ka pa dyan sa mga umiiyak na nakatrabaho mo, wala ka talagang kahihiyan… ingrata!” Rivas posted on Facebook.

“45 years kitang kilala, akala ko ako lang aapihin mo, hindi mo pala alam talaga salitang kaibigan no!!! True character on display here vivian velez, empathy man lang sana natutunan mo!” she added.

Velez then threw shade against Velez on a social media post and insinuated that the former was using drugs.

“Dating ‘ingiterang’ actress friend, putak ng putak at minumura ako dahil DDS daw ako. Tumitira ka pa rin palaka? #maTOKHANGkaSANA,” Velez said.

Velez worked at ABS-CBN in 2010-2011 and also in 2013-2014.

This is not the first time that Velez clashed with a celebrity on Facebook.

Last June, Velez received criticisms from award-winning actress Jaclyn Jose after the former posted a statement from Pinky Amador.

Amador faced controversy after she was video recorded while yelling and cursing at the staff of a condo hotel in Makati City.

Gawa gawa lang! Sen. Kiko Pangilinan says that President Duterte only invented the oligarch problem in the country

Liberal Party President and Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan said that President Rodrigo Duterte’s fight against oligarchy was only made up to curtain the real problems of the country.

In a statement, Pangilinan said that the real problem was many Filipinos were suffering from hunger and joblessness in the country.

According to Pangilinan, ABS-CBN has nothing to do with the problem of COVID-19.

“COVID, gutom at kawalan ng trabaho ng milyon-milyon nating mga kababayan ang problema hindi itong mga oligarchs, kuno,” Pangilinan said.

“Gawa-gawa lang yang problema ng mga oligarchs. Walang kinalaman ang pagsasara ng ABS sa matinding problema dulot ng COVID. Inimbento lang ang problema na oligarchs para linlangin ang taumbayan dahil sa totoo lang wala silang maipakitang ni katiting na magandang resulta sa pagsugpo sa lalo pang kumakalat na COVID, sa gutom at sa kawalan ng trabaho ng milyun-milyon nating mga kababayan,” he also said.

Yesterday, President Rodrigo Duterte announced that he destroyed the oligarchy in the country without even declaring martial law.

“Without declaring martial law, sinira ko ‘yung mga tao na humahawak sa ekonomiya at umiipit at hindi nagbabayad. They take advantage sa kanilang political power,” the President said.

“Every election noon o sa ngayon o bukas sabihin nila sa isang kuwarto lang ‘yan, ‘O adre, sinong kandidato natin ngayon? O ikaw diyan, ikaw ang bahala sa ano ha, you raise the funds’,”  he added.

“Lima ata lang ang tao. Isang pamilya lang ang nag-uusap diyan. Ganun nilaro nila ang bayan ko. Kaya ako mamatay, mahulog ‘yung eroplano, p***** i**, I am very happy. Alam mo bakit? Sabi ko without declaring martial law, I dismantled the oligarchy that controlled the economy of the Filipino people.” he also said.

Duterte refused to name the oligarch he mentioned during his speech.

In the same speech, Duterte also discouraged his daughter Inday Sara to run for President.

 

Sen. Dela Rosa wants employers to give P1,000 monthy allowance to their work-from-home employees

Senators Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa and Francis Tolentino wanted the companies to give allowance to their employees working from home.

The two senators filed Senate Bill No. 1684 requiring employers to give a P1,000 allowance to their employees while they’re working from home.

It would amend the current RA 11165 or the Telecommuting Act.

“The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced Filipinos to embrace the concepts of telecommuting and working from home,” the authors said.

“Working from home tends to increase utility consumption, particularly electricity. Residential energy use has risen due to more people staying at home. These additional expenses are out of the employee’s own pockets and for the benefit of the employer’s business,” they added.

COVID-19 pandemic raised the number of employees working from home after the government implemented community quarantine in the country.

While working from home put employees to a safer environment amid the pandemic, their expenses including utility bills increased.

“Assistance must be provided to the employees in order to cushion the impact of this new normal and make this practice sustainable,” they said.

 

 

President Duterte discourages Mayor Inday Sara to run for President: “Wala kang makuha unless gusto mong mamera”

President Rodrigo Duterte urged Davao City mayor Inday Sara Duterte not to run for the highest position in the country as she’s not going to gain anything from being a chief executive.

During his speech before soldiers in Jolo, Sulu on Tuesday, Duterte said that there’s more job in the country that has a higher salary than being the President.

“Sabi ko sa anak ko, kay Inday, ‘Day, p***** i** ‘wag mong pasukin ‘yang trabaho na ‘yan’. Puwera gaba lang, huwag naman sana masamain ninyo. Sabi ko, magtrabaho ka diyan? Wala kang makuha unless gusto mong mamera, ah kaya. Pero kung sabihin mo magtrabaho ka lang presidente? Susmaryosep,” Duterte said in his speech

“Suweldo mo 194,000. Ang ibang generals dito mas malaki pa sa suweldo ko, totoo lang. Sinabi ko kay Inday ‘wag kang mag-presidente unless you see something na kaya mo para gawain mo sa bayan. Pero if just a matter of ambition, lay off. Wala ka talagang makuha diyan, pagod lang,” he added.

However, Duterte stated that Inday may run if she felt that she wanted to serve the people without expecting anything in return.

“Unless you are driven by patriotism. O ‘yan, kung gusto mo talaga mag-service sa bayan mo. Kaya sabi ko sa kanya in English they say, ‘if you cannot stand the heat in the kitchen, get out’,” the President remarked.

In a press briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified that advice of Duterte to Inday Sara.

“There’s no gain to becoming a President unless you’re corrupt. It’s all public service, that’s what he’s saying,” Roque said.

Roque said that the Duterte doesn’t want his daughter to suffer due to the difficulty of being the chief executive.

“Malinaw naman po ang palaging sinasabi ni Presidente kay Mayor Sara. Talagang it’s a thankless job. It’s all sacrifice, walang return, and ayaw niya na ganyan yung buhay ng kaniyang anak,” 

Inday Sara has yet to comment on her father’s advice.

Lolit Solis to Agot Isidro after criticizing Jinkee Pacquiao: “Si Agot naman kasi na lahat ng issue pinapatulan”

Talent host and showbiz writer Lolit Solis believes that actress Agot Isidro should calm herself and avoid interfering with the life of other celebrities.

Solis wrote an Instagram post about Isidro after the latter criticized Jinkee Pacquiao for showing two luxury bicycles on the internet amid the pandemic in the country.

According to Solis, the people admired Mrs. Pacquiao as she didn’t react directly to Isidro’s criticism.

“Sa mga mata ng followers ay talagang hinangaan nila ang pagiging ladylike ni Jinkee Pacquiao na hindi sumagot at sa halip mga bible verses ang posted answer,” Solis said.

Solis then questioned why Isidro seemed trying to be involved in every issue and trying to correct other celebrities who had different beliefs.

“Si Agot naman kasi na lahat ng issue pinapatulan at para bang isang aktibista na nakabantay sa mga kapwa artista niya na hindi niya katulad ang paniwala. Sobra narin politized ang mga opinyon kung minsan ni Agot na dapat siguro medyo magdahan dahan din at alamin muna ang issue,” she said.

“Regalo lang naman , gusto magpasalamat ni Jinkee, so post niya sa IG, so no problem sana, eh pinatulan ni Agot, hayan na,” she added.

Isidro on July 9, called Pacquiao a ‘Nouveau’ and urged the latter to be sensitive because of the current situation of the country.

“Alam namin na marami kayong pera. At kung ano ang gusto ninyong gawin sa pera na yun, wala kaming pakialam,” Isidro said.

“Pero marami rin ang walang trabaho at nagkukumahog humanap ng pera para may pakain sa kanilang pamilya. Puede ba, konting sensitivity man lang?” she added.

Isa pang kaloka iyon issue ng bisekleta nila Champ Manny Pacquiao /Jinkee at Agot Isidro. Bongga na regalo lang pala iyon mga bisekleta na signature Hermes at LV na ikinagalit ni Agot kay Jinkee. At sa mga mata ng followers ay talagang hinangaan nila ang pagiging ladylike ni Jinkee Pacquiao na hindi sumagot at sa halip mga bible verses ang posted answer. Si Agot naman kasi na lahat ng issue pinapatulan at para bang isang aktibista na nakabantay sa mga kapwa artista niya na hindi niya katulad ang paniwala. Sobra narin politized ang mga opinyon kung minsan ni Agot na dapat siguro medyo magdahan dahan din at alamin muna ang issue.

Pacquiao then clarified that she’s only thanking her friend who gifted the said bicycles.

Isidro who’s a known critic of the Duterte administration then addressed her followers after being accused of being jealous to Pacquiao’s wealth.

“Sinabi ko naman na wala akong pakialam kung saan ginastos ang kaprehan. I’m sure marami na rin ang natulungan. Ang sa akin lang, kailangan ba namin makita yan, sa gitna ng paghihirap na dinaranas ng nakararami?”Isidro said.

“Mananatili kaming nakatuon sa serbisyong publiko at umaasang makakahanap ng ibang paraan para tuparin ang aming misyon. Kasama ang aming mga empleyado, karamay niyo kami sa inyong kalungkutan.
