The video of Baron Geisler was shared on the Facebook Page of Defend Job Philippines. The actor said the government must move on to the “miscommunication” in 2016. He said lots of people will lose their jobs if the President won’t sign the bill granting its fresh franchise.
“Lahat tayo ay umibig, nasaktan, napasaya, napa-iyak ng mga shows ng ABS-CBN. Hindi ito magagawa kung hindi dahil sa mga laborers na ito. Ipaglaban natin ang karapatan nila. Ipaglaban po natin ang buhay nila. Mahigit 10,000 po ang mawawalan ng trabaho. Isipin niyo po iyon,” he said.

Baron Geisler also asked the netizens to support their appeal to the government so that they may continue giving entertainment to all the Filipino people.
“Kung talagang nagmamalasakit ang gobyerno sa atin at sa mga laborers na ito. Tulungan niyo naman kami. Hindi kami nagmamakaawa kasi alam naming na karapatan naming na magserbisyo at magtrabaho at kumita para mapasaya ang mga tao at mga taga-gobyerno…”
“Lumaki ang ABS-CBN… 65 years niyo na pong kasama [tapos] tatanggalin niyo?” he added.

@Jay-r Cajolo: “10k lang kayo, Pero Million n tao yung niloloko ng network nyo.”
@Bono Akio: “It’s about sustainability. Ika nga no one should be left behind. Agree with Baron… The government can do better than this. I take a leap of faith.”
