Celebrities and artist continues to make their voices
heard in supporting the beleaguered Lopez family owned media giant ABS-CBN in
the quest for renewing their legislative franchise.
One of ABS-CBN’s homegrown talent Enchong Dee made known
that he is in full support of the ordeal ABS-CBN is undergoing and is also
urging his fellow artists and celebrities to do the same not just because their
livelihood is at stake but it is also their duty as Filipinos to fight for
democracy.
Dee in his tweet explains how a handful of artist speak up
pn their stace because the possibility of being illusive to be branded as “political”
or to protect their “reputation.”
“I always tell people that ‘Artists should be the first
line of defense of our democracy’, people tend to agree, but most do nothing
about it or get reprimanded for saying something political,” Dee said.
“Very
few listen and even fewer are brave enough to stand their ground because of
their ‘reputation’. Now that ABS-CBN (my home for almost 15 years) is being
wrongly accused of so many things… I am angry. I am sad. I am bothered,” he
added.
He urges vigilance as a Filipino to protect democracy and
not simply because their fear of losing their source of income.
“I am a Filipino first and my job comes second. Let’s be
vigilant not only because our jobs are in peril but mainly because we are
Filipinos fighting for the democracy and Constitution of our country,” Dee
said.
“I
know after this post, paid trolls would attack me but I stand firm with my
beliefs and I am not afraid to lose my little popularity,” he further said.
The tv station has only up to March 20, this year before its legislative franchise expires.
