Talo tayo mga Kapamilya. Yan daw ang sinabi ng konsyensya ng 70 na mga kongresista na bumoto ng Yes para sa pagbasura sa franchise renewal ng ABS-CBN. 11 lang ang kumampi sa atin. Ang mahalaga mulat ang ating bayan sa katotohanan. Bukas na ang panibagong yugto ng kasaysayan.

Remember what's happening now. This is much more than the franchise. What we're experiencing is the great magnifier of the personalities, the priorities, and the agendas of the people in position. Sadly, they forgot the real reason why they were there in the first place.

I can’t say I am surprised, but I am heartbroken. They have gotten their vengeance against ABSCBN and the Lopez family. What now Philippines? 💔
