Liza Soberano, on the other hand, said she cannot find words to describe how heartless are those people who keep on dragging ABS-CBN down.
No words for these heartless people #ABSCBNFranchise

She also asked how come the government has so much time to focus on shutting down the network instead of finding ways to address the pandemic.
How come there’s so much time being spent on bringing ABS-CBN down but little to no time figuring out ways to help our kababayans who are struggling during this pandemic, kasi naka GCQ parin tayo?????

Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez Alcasid meanwhile asked what has happened to the country.

Angel Locsin for her part said she can’t help but cry when she learned about the new shutdown order which reminded her of the May 5 shutdown of ABS-CBN.

On Tuesday, June 30, the National Telecommunications Commission issued an alias cease and desist order enjoining ABS-CBN to stop broadcasting digital transmission using Channel 43 in Metro Manila.
After the station’s shutdown on May 5, ABS-CBN used its block time agreement with AMCARA Broadcasting to broadcast some of their shows on Channel 43.
Channel 43 covers ABS-CBN programs on TV Plus which include Jeepney TV, Asianovela Channel, Yey, KBO, Cinemo, and Teleradyo.
Aside from TV Plus, NTC also ordered ABS-CBN to stop the operation of SKY Cable Direct which broadcasts the Kapamilya Channel.
Meanwhile, here are other Kapamilya artists’ sentiments about this latest blow against the Kapamilya network.

How can you allow the reopening of public spaces and yet suspend voters registration because “daily statistics show the upward trend of the dreaded (coronavirus disease)”? Asking for a friend.

Bakit kayo nandiyan kung sarili nyo lang iniisip nyo. Fuck y’all man this aint even funny no more. A lot of lives are at stake at lalo nyo pa ginagawang miserable buhay namin kesa atupagin nyo ang mga bagay na mas kailangan pag tuunan ng pansin and not your fragile ass ego.
