The uncertainty of employment: “Sino ba raw yung mga tatanggalin? Kasama ba ko?” ABS-CBN employees are not losing their jobs because of the pandemic. The government took it away from them.
'KILATISING MABUTI'
Actress Angel Locsin shared on social media some advice on what kind of candidates to vote for in the upcoming May 2022 elections, adding that people discern before they "vote rightly."
There’s so much at stake in this election; we can’t yield the battle to political propagandists, purveyors of disinformation, trapos, political dynasties, corrupt members of the media, and media owners playing footsie with the powers that be.

Trolling really necessitates blissful ignorance? Again, this photo was taken after an interview I did for a story for ABS-CBN in 2018. That was during the height of the peace talks initiated by Duterte. I was covering it. This is the link to the story:
A convenient cover-up that should never be left unchallenged. Fact: Duterte wanted to shut down the network so his congressmen voted to kill the franchise application.
UniTeam senatorial bet Rodante Marcoleta on criticism vs Toni Gonzaga over introducing him at their Proclamation Rally: Sana naman po ay lawakan ng ating mga kababayan ang kanilang pag-unawa. Nawalan po ng prangkisa ang ABS-CBN dahil na po sa kanilang mga kasalanan. |
