whereinbacolod July 19, 2020

Kapamilya celebrity Sarah Geronimo broke her silence on the ABS-CBN shutdown issue. Geronimo took to her social media account on Sunday, July 19 and shared a Biblical verse together with her message to give ABS-CBN a chance for franchise renewal.

Geronimo shared two verses from the Bible: "Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murdered, and you know that no murdere has eternal life residing in him. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters," from 1 John 3:15-16

"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy," Pro 31:8-4.

Meanwhile on her separate message, Geronimo expressed her gratitude to her network and appeals to Congress for a second chance.

"Malaking bahagi po ng aking karera ang ABS-CBN. Maliban po sa pamilya ko at sa aking manager na si Boss Vic, and ABS-CBN po ay ang network na ilang beses na sumugal at sumuporta sa akin bilang artista at performer," she wrote.

"Hindi ko man po alam ang buong detalye kung bakit di na muli nabigyan ng prankisa ang ABS-CBN... hindi ko man po naiintindihan lahat pero gusto ko pong iparating ang aking pagsaludo sa mga haligi ng ABS-CBN para sa kanilang paglaban ng disente at mapagpakumbaba sa harap ng ating mga lawmakers," she said.
