It seems that not all Kapamilya stars have the same thoughts about the ABS-CBN shutdown, like Hashtag Tom Doromal and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Karen Reyes.
On Tom Doromal’s Facebook account, the Hashtag dancer posted his disappointment in the shutdown and how it affected the employees of the network.
“Tangina talaga Sobrang bigat sa dibdib. Hindi dahil nagsara [ang] abs [cbn] pero kundi sa lahat ng nag tra trabaho sa abs [cbn] na biglang nawalan ng trabaho. Sobrang nanglambot ako. Ang dami kong naging kaibigan, kakilala, tropa na mga staff, artist, marshal, janitor, etc…”
But his disappointment doesn’t just end with the closure of ABS-CBN, but also the company itself,
“Pero tanginang gumagawa at gumawa ng mga dirty work sa [kompanyang] ng abs. Hindi nyo ba naiisipan ang buhay ng mga nag tratrabaho sa inyo. Na sa inyo lang umaaasa.”
For Doromal, if ABS-CBN hadn’t allegedly done any dirty work, then it would not have been forced to shutdown.
“Nadamay sila sa kalokohan niyo. Lahat kame nagtiwala sa kompanya. Kung ever since malinis kayo magpatakbo ng companya hindi sana aabot sa ganito. I don’t hate the company, I hate the people behind the dirty work. Hate me or love me Idgaf.”
Ending his statement, Doromal said that he doesn’t regret what he said about the company,
“Sa lahat ng kakilala at kaibigan ko na taga abs kung sasama loob nyo sa sinabi ko maiintindihan ko po at mahal ko po kayo. Salamat po sa 9 years na pinagsamahan. Pagsubok lang to. Babangon tayo.”

Pinoy Big Brother alumna Karen Reyes had a different opinion on the said closure. On her Facebook account, Karen said she doesn’t react that much on the said closure since she doesn’t know enough of what is going on behind the scenes and would rather say nothing.
“Ako tong taga ABS, hindi ako masyado nagrereact kasi wala naman ako idea sa TOTOONG nangyayari. Nakakahiya kasi sa mga tao ngayon lahat magaling. Lahat alam. Lahat matatalino. TATABA NG UTAK eh.”
The two are seem to be the opposite of Kim Chiu who became a target of bashers for her impassioned if flawed speech.
“Bakit niyo tatanggalan ng pangarap at pag-asa ang isang tao?, bakit niyo tatanggalan ang tao na, ‘Gusto kong sumali sa ganito dahil kapag nanalo ako ay maipagamot ko iyong lola ko.'”
“Iyong saya ng bawat Pilipino, kahit maliit lang, pinagkaitan niyo sila ng saya sa panahon na ito.”
Pinoy Big Brother alum Gerald Anderson also showed his support by posting a tweaked version of Facebook’s “care” emoji on his Instagram – instead of hugging a heart, the emoji carried what looked like a piece of paper with the ABS-CBN logo on it.
