Recently, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered ABS-CBN to stop going on air.
As expected, Kapamilya celebrities showed their support by sharing sentiments and opinions on the ABS-CBN shutdown.
In an interview with ABS-CBN reporter MJ Felipe, Kapamilya actor Matteo Guidicelli gave his reaction regarding the issue.
The actor admitted that he and his wife, Kapamilya star Sarah Geronimo, were surprised when ABS-CBN signed off.
“I am praying every single day. My wife and I have been praying that ABS-CBN can stand back up and all we need is humility, unity, and peace.”
Matteo even posted a photo of himself being interview by MJ Felipe.

“And I believe that Filipino people want ABS-CBN and love ABS-CBN like a family, and I hope and I pray that all these issues will be resolved one day,” Matteo said
Despite feeling heartbroken on the shutdown of their home network, the two are optimistic that ABS-CBN could resume its operations, “Of course, it’s heartbreaking. But we are being positive that everything will be okay… You have to be positive because what’s going to happen if you put fire to fire?”
“I am sure this will be solved because it’s for the Filipino people and ABS-CBN is here for the Filipino people.”
The actor has an upcoming iWant film which details the training he went through in the army.
“I’m very excited na mapanood niyong lahat ang ‘Ranger G’ dahil it’s something I did for myself in the beginning. Sabi ko sa mga magulang ko at sa girlfriend ko noon at sa manager ko, ‘Gusto ko maging sundalo. Gusto kong pumasok sa Army.’”

He also acknowledged that everyone was against the idea that he was joining the military, but Guidicelli was able to get the approval of his loved ones.
Viva Entertainment executive Vic del Rosario, his manager, had one condition before he would agree to it.

“My manager gave me one condition. Sabi niya kapag papasok daw ako doon, dapat i-shoot natin. Sabi ko, ‘Okay Boss Vic. I-shoot man or hindi i-shoot, gagawin ko pa rin para sa sarili ko.’ I’m very fortunate na pumayag ang Philippine Army to do this.”
