Malaysian model and actress Carmen Soo joined the call for the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise ahead of the House panel voting that will dictate the fate of the media giant.
Soo’s video was on top of other international collaborators of ABS-CBN and its past films, the Croatia-set “Make It With You” included. These international partners are in full support of the #VoteYesToABSCBN movement.
“I am in full support of the appeal to allow ABS-CBN to operate again. I hope that the powers that be will make this happen,” Soo said.
