SONA 2020: Ces Drilon Finally Speaks Up About ABS-CBN Shutdown
SONA 2020 – Journalist Ces Drilon finally spoke about ABS-CBN shut down and Duterte’s administration at ‘SONAgKAISA’ rally.
Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is set to deliver his 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) today at the Batasang Pambansa. The Philippine National Police (PNP) earlier warned that the people who will stage a protest will be arrested.
Only the demonstrators at the University of the Philippines (UP) campus Diliman will be safe from the arrest. Vice-Chancellor for Community Affairs of UP Diliman, Dr. Aleli Bawagan, said the ‘SONAgKAISA’ rally is much bigger than the “Mañanita” protest.
In a report, Broadcast Journalist Ces Drilon joined the rally at UP Diliman. She led the retrenched ABS-CBN employees. They are calling for the return of the Kapamilya network after the lawmakers rejected its application for a fresh franchise.

“Ang media po ay takbohan ng mga tulad nina mang Elmer… kami ang mga nagbibigay ng boses sa mga walang boses, sa mga myembro ng lipunan na walang puder. Mahalaga ito upang may mag latlat sa pagmamalabis ng mga nasa pwesto upang may tagabantay, taga ulat,” she said.
