Naniniwala kaming nakapagbigay kami ng serbisyong makabuluhan at mahalaga sa mga Pilipino. Gayunpaman, nagpapasalamat kami sa Committee para sa pagkakataong maipahayag ang aming panig sa mga isyung laban sa amin,” he 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. Inaasahan namin ang araw na tayo ay magkakasamang muli. Mga kapamilya, maraming salamat na patuloy kayong nagtiwala, sumuporta, nagdasal at lumaban kasama namin. Kapit lang. muling magliliwanag ang kwento ng bawat Pilipino,” he also said.

A former dancer of ‘Wowowee’ expressed her support to actress Janella Salvador who was featured in the popular radio and internet show ‘Raffy Tulfo in Action’ after her former production assistant complained about her unpaid salary.

RR Enriquez on her Instagram post also took a swipe against the show of Mr. Raffy Tulfo saying that people should not feel responsible for answering the complaints they received from the radio program.

“Yes I believe hindi responsibilidad ng isang tao na dapat sumagot kay Tulfo! Kaya may lawyer at hearing!!! May batas kaya dun tayo sa tamang proseso. Tulfo is not batas!” Enriquez said.

The former dancer also pointed out that there were people who got humiliated in every complainant being helped by Tulfo.

“It’s a show for helping and humilliating a person!!! Dahil sa kabila ng pagtulong ng isang tao, meron naman isang tao na, nahuhumilliate (nabubully sa socmed). Mali man ng isang tao yan, hindi kailangan iinvolve ang media para lang malaman at pagpyestahan at pagtawanan ng buong mundo yung taong nakagawa ng mali,” she said.

“Kahit ano pang mali ng tao hindi nya deserve to be put in that show,” she added.

According to her, no one deserved to be featured in Tulfo’s show despite the gravity of their offenses.

“Let’s say ofcourse some people deserved to be put in that show, kasi may mga abusado talaga pero again sa aking paniniwala, mali man sila hindi nila deserve to be in that show para mahumilliate,” she stated

“May mga taong they want to solve a problem na hindi involve ang camera. Privacy ang tawag dun,” she added.

Kung affected ka, malamang isa ka sa tinutukoy ko?? . . Let’s say ofcourse some people deserved to be put in that show, kasi may mga abusado talaga pero again sa aking paniniwala, mali man sila hindi nila deserve to be in that show para mahumilliate.

Enriquez received criticisms on social media because of her comments against Tulfo, who’s being followed by millions of Filipinos.

“I just wish you never said TULFO is just a way of humiliating a person. Its program.and its host never forced anyone to be in that show. They respect if someone doesn’t want to be aired. You can air your opinion regarding Tulfo program but the word humiliating is already a judgment to one’s show,” netizen kathrynnalivio514 said.

“Anong batas sinansabi mo girl? Kaya nga lumapit ng tulfo para huminge ng tulong kc Walang Justice system sa pinas. Lets Say para lang sa may kaya tlaga,, Kung wala nman Kinakatakot why not just Give her side of the story.. dami pa alam ehhh,” marieleeyah23 commented.

Lawyer warns pro ABS-CBN celebrities of possible charges: “Dear artistas: Make sure your meltdowns don’t amount to inciting to sedition”

A lawyer reminded the celebrities who supported ABS-CBN to ensure that what they’re posting on social media about the government would not be against the law.

In a Facebook post, Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that after the House of Representatives decided to junk ABS-CBN franchise application, celebrities, and Kapamilya supporters would surely become vocal on social media to criticize the government.

She then reminded the Kapamilyas about ‘inciting to sedition’ and posted valuable information about the said law.

“Eto po ang mga examples ng inciting to sedition:”

“1. paghihikayat na saktan o maghiganti laban sa opisyales ng gobyerno.
Ex: Yung manawagan na sunugin ang bahay ni Congressman X dahil bumoto siya laban sa isang batas”

“2. magkalat ng libelong kamumuhian ang isang opisyales ng gobyerno lalo na kung ang libelong ito ay magiging dahilan sa hind pagtupad ng mga tunkulin ng nasabing opisyales
Ex: Yung pag tag bilang drug lord sa isang opisyal,”

“3. Yung paghihikayat na manggulo o wasakin ang katahimikan ng bayan,”

In another post, she said that celebrities should avoid being carried away by their feelings and still check if what they’re posting on social media would not be against the law.

“Dear artistas: Make sure your meltdowns don’t amount to inciting to sedition or inciting to rebellion or libel. Especially scurrilous libels (see Revised Penal Code art 142 on inciting to sedition). Also mind the safe spaces act as well,” she said.

“Otherwise, carry on. The amount of information you reveal about your character, such as a lust for vengeance, capacity for hate, shallow appreciation of people and overall anger management issues, is utterly fascinating,” she added.

A few months ago, several private individuals were arrested for posting bounties and threats against President Rodrigo Duterte.

Teacher Ronnel Mas was arrested by the members of NBI after he offered a bounty on President Duterte’s head.

“I will give 50-M reward kung sino ang makakap*tay kay Duterte #NoToABSCBNShutDown,” Mas said.

The court, however, cleared Mas of the charge of inciting to sedition due to extrajudicial confession.

Even former actress Mystica was charged by inciting to sedition for her online statements against President Duterte.

Bianca Gonzalez to the boy who ‘unfriended’ his father for being against ABS-CBN: “Yakap!”

Bianca Gonzales raised the eyebrows of some netizens after she tried to comfort the Twitter user who has gone viral lately after he ‘unfriended’ his father and even threatened to stop paying their bills.

On July 11, Twitter user ‘Kirk’ expressed his disappointment to his father who’s in favor of shutting down ABS-CBN for good.

According to him, he’s thinking of leaving his parents and stop paying the house bills.

“I just unfriended my papa. He is in favor of shutting down ABS-CBN. T***ina di ba. Parang bet ko lumayas. Balakayo magbayad ng kuryente jan,” said Kirk.

“Nakapag-post ka ng hate sa FB mo eh ako naman nagbabayad ng internet. Paputol ko na kaya,” he added.

Kirk made the post after the 70 lawmakers junked the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

Gonzalez, who’s also active on Twitter, saw the post of Kirk and sent virtual hugs to the heartbroken woke.

“Yakap, Kirk,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez received criticisms from the netizens and accused him of encouraging people to ‘cancel’ their own parents due to different beliefs.

“Bianca Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself. She is a role model for the Filipino youth and here she is encouraging them to throw their parents under the bus just because they differ in their opinion on, of all things, a trashy brand like ABS-CBN. Such an appalling example being set by such a revered celebrity. It’s no wonder ABS-CBN suffered the fate that had befallen it,” blogger benign0 said in his piece about Gonzalez.

Meanwhile, another blogger, ‘Banat By‘ claimed that he was privately messaged by Gonzalez to apologize for the misunderstanding.

“Magandang gabi po. Inako ko po ang pagkakamali ko, hindi ko intensyon na kunsintihin ang disrespect sa magulang. Magulang din ako, at anak din. I apologized for the post. God bless,” she reportedly told Banat By.

Twitter became a favorite place to hang out by the generation z on the internet because some of them felt that they have more freedom to express themselves on the said social media platform.

A few months ago, the teacher who got arrested by the authorities after he placed a P50-M bounty on President Duterte’s head said that he was using Twitter to express his thoughts independently.

Kim Chiu couldn’t hide her disappointment anymore to the lawmakers who voted against giving ABS-CBN a new franchise.

In an Instagram post, Chiu addressed the 70 lawmakers who opposed ABS-CBN, saying that she’s hoping that they decided “based on conscience, not pride; based on Facts, not ego; based on truth, honesty, and service; not vengeance,”

She also thanked the 11 lawmakers who voted in favor of the franchise of ABS-CBN.

According to her, the ABS-CBN executives who attended the 12-day franchise hearing of the House of Representatives showed composure despite being grilled many times by the lawmakers.

“Our AbsCbn leaders did everything they can. Proved them wrong, showed everything, gave EVERYTHING to protect its people. Stayed calm amidst being bullied,” Chiu said.

“Did 13 hearings na paikot ikot, ABSCBN proved that we have NO violations,” she added.

Chiu questioned why the lawmakers didn’t prioritize the pandemic, instead chose to focus on questioning ABS-CBN and pushing for the controversial anti-terror bill.

“In the middle of this pandemic. Pagpapasara ng Abscbn and pagpapatupad ng anti terror bill ang nangyayari. What is happening to our country?” she asked.

Chiu also added a video, showing the view of the millenium transmisster from the building
