Star Magic artists lead campaign against ABS-CBN franchise threat
#StarMagicStandsWithABSCBN as the media giant faces threats against its legislative franchise

MANILA, Philippines – On the same day the Solicitor General filed an urgent motion asking the Supreme Court to prevent ABS-CBN from discussing their franchise woes, its talent management arm released portraits of its stars to rally behind their home network.

Jose Calida, the Philippines’ solicitor general, earlier filed a quo warranto petition asking the Supreme Court to nullify ABS-CBN’s franchise. This comes as ABS-CBN’s franchise is set to expire in late March 2020, with no signs of Congress moving forward to renew its legislative franchise. 

Star Magic, which manages ABS-CBN’s roster of artists, released photos of several talents wearing a red, blue, and green ribbon – the 3 colors of the TV station.  (TIMELINE: Duterte against ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal)

Portraits that were released as of February 18 include those of Janella Salvador, Nyoy Volante, Joshua Garcia, Jameson Blake, and Seth Fedelin.
