Vice Ganda Appeals To Congress Over ABS-CBN Franchise Issues

Its Showtime host Vice Ganda has this appeal to the Congress.

VICE GANDA – Kapamilya comedian Vice Ganda has appeals to Congress to show compassion to employees who are affected because of their “panggigipit”.

In yesterday’s hearing for the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN network, the National Telecommunications Commission will also release a cease and desist order to shut down operations of Channel 43 and TV Plus before June 29 ends. This is accordingly “illegal and usufructuary” as per Rep. Boying Remulla of the 7th District of Cavite on previous article.

With this, one of the biggest stars of the network, Vice Ganda, speaks about “panggigipit” from them and plead for compassion for the Filipino employees of the company they have been hitting on. These ABS-CBN employees are accordingly facing uncertainties amid the adversities brought about by the pandemic when the network was forced to stop its broadcasting operations both on television and radio.

And as the House of Representatives resumed ABS-CBN’s franchise hearing on Monday, June 29, the Kapamilya artist used Twitter to express his sentiments. He said, “Nananawagan kami sa inyo mga Kongresista. Pakinggan nyo pa ang boses nya na punong puno ng lungkot, pangamba at pagmamakaawa. Mahabag po kayo sa kapwa nyo mga Pilipino. Magkakababayan po tayo.  Wag nating gipitin ang isa’t isa.”

In another post, he asked for support from the people and his followers. These employees cannot just be abandoned by the company and totally lose their jobs. And this is exactly what the higher ups of the network are currently fighting for – their renewal to provide entertainment and information to their viewers and help their employees.
