Comedian and actor Ramon Bautista pleaded for the Congress to provide “true jobs” for the 11,000 workers under ABS-CBN – not jobs of the trolls “enjoying themselves right now.”
Congress baka pwede man lang gumawa ng moves para makagawa ng trabaho para sa mga nawalan
Yung trabahong totoo, hindi po yung kagaya sa mga trolls na nagsasaya ngayon
Liway director Kip Oebanda expressed his sadness for his friends from the network, especially for those who “aren’t rich,” and his anger towards his country.
Nag-uumapaw ang lungkot ko para sa mga kaibigan ko. Lalo na ang mga hindi naman mayaman. Ang galit para sa bayan ko. Pero umaasa rin ako na matatapos rin ang lahat ng ito. Gaya ng dati. Kapit lang. Balang araw, maniningil tayo. #NOtoABSCBNFranchiseDENIAL

Musician and producer Jim Paredes also asked his followers which side they are on, now that “evil rules our land.”

Musicain Johnoy Danao called out the “representatives of the Palace,” and not the “representatives of the people” that they should be.
Tanungin mo kung bakit na-deny ang ABS-CBN dun sa 70, sigurado walang matinong maisasagot kasi walang nilabag ang network. Walang basehan, nautusan lang. Representative ng palasyo, hindi ng mamamayan.
At sa onse na may sariling paninindigan, pag-asa ang handog niyo sa amin sa malagim na araw na ‘to. Maraming salamat!
Ben&Ben keyboardist Patricia Lasaten posted the trending hashtag, #NOtoABSCBNFranchiseDenial.

Radio DJ Mo Twister also reiterated that decrying the decision isn’t about “whether you associate yourself as a Kapamilya.”
I've said this a lot the past few weeks. It's not about whether you associate yourself as a #kampamilya. It should be about being united in acknowledging that that hijo de puta is a dictator wielding power cuz of a personal vendetta. It doesnt matter who the target is.
Seventy members of the House of Representatives’ legislative franchises committee voted “yes” to the resolution rejecting bills that sought the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise. Eleven members voted “no,” two inhibited from voting, while one abstained. The decision comes after the 13 hearings on the franchise bills with the committee on good government and accountability.
Several ABS-CBN stars also expressed their heartbreak online over the decision. – Rappler.com
