- Jimmy Bondoc replied to Angel Locsin’s tweet and clarified his post
‘The General’s Daughter’ lead star Angel Locsin slammed singer Jimmy Bondoc who expressed his excitement to see ABS-CBN “the biggest TV network to close down.”
On Bondoc’s Facebook account last May 22, he said he was looking forward to what he perceived to be ABS-CBN’s closure.
“I am so excited to see the biggest tv network close down. This company is a snake pit, where success is based on politics and sexual favors. NOBODY dares to talk about it because they either benefit from it, or they would rather not have them as enemies.”
The singer even added that ABS-CBN had ruined art and culture.
“Read before you judge me.
ART and CULTURE have been ruined by this network. Our moral fiber as a nation, too. Wide-eyed kids seek dreams and fall in line, not knowing the hell that their lives will be plunged into.
They have contests where the winners have been pre-determined, or are manipulated to suit the whims of the hidden bosses.
Their news is for sale, highest bidder gets the slant. And foreign groups are usually the victors.
I AM EAGERLY AWAITING YOUR DEMISE. I know how this sounds. And I know the nasty comments which are bound to come. I don’t care. If you think COMELEC is bad, wait until you see the real machinery that is known as ‘the biggest network.’
“This is not schadenfreude. This is hope! This is for real change. You have COUNTLESS VICTIMS, from sexual harassment to plain and simple bullying.
I am so happy that your time has come.”
In what appears to be a reaction to Bondoc’s post, Angel Locsin posted a tweet derived from Bondoc’s song “Let Me Be The One.”
“Let me be the one to break this news to you so you don’t have to make excuses. The network might not be perfect but for you to be happy about thousands of people losing their jobs is pure evil. Maybe you’re just having a bad day. I will pray for you,” Angel wrote.
