(Part 1:) Pinagtanggol ang anak; siniraan, ginawan ng istorya, binaligtad, walang tigil na pambabash. 💙 Namatayan ng isa sa paboritong Tita, hindi man lamang nakita dahil nasa Amerika siya. 💙 Di mapuntahan at madamayan ang mga pinsan kong parang mga kapatid ko na sa pagmamahalan at pagdadamayan namin sa pagkamatay ng Mommy nila. 💙 Lumaban sa paninira ng dating kaibigan, pero pinatawad din dahil lahat naman maaaring magbago pa basta tapat sa puso niya. 💙 Lahat ng paninindigan, okay lang na may kokontra, pero hindi natural sa tao ang kumontra ng may pambabastos at napakasasakit na salita gayong di naman sila pinipilit na sumang-ayon, kundi rumespeto lang gaya ng noong araw. 💙 Pinadaan pa sa 13 pandinig ang mga Boss namin sa ABS-CBN na ang ilan, hindi lahat, pero ang ilan sa Congreso ay kung kausapin sila ay pasigaw at parang mga kriminal na mamamatay tao na halos ang mga kausap. Parang paulit-ulit lang ang mga tanong pero sinagot ng mapagkumbaba, disente, umamin sa mali at nangako sa harap ng milyong-milyong Pilipino na babaguhin ang mali. Wala namang kahit sinong kumpanya o tao ang perpekto. Tapos, napakabilis pala lang ng desisyong huwag bigyan ng prangkisa ang ABS-CBN. May isang Senador na nagsabing maghanap na lang daw ng bagong trabaho ang 11,000 mahigit na empleyadong may mga pamilyang apektado ng pagkawala ng hanapbuhay na ito, gayong may mga 16 million na yatang Pilipino ang nawalan ng trabaho at maraming negosyo na ang napilitang magsara sanhi ng COVID-19. Saan at paano hahanap ng trabaho? Ako po ilang taon nang walang show sa ABS-CBN, nagkatampuhan din kami noon. Pero kundi sa COVID-19, nagsimula na sana ang bagong season ng Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids. Ganoon naman kami – may kanya-kanyang show sa kanya-kanyang panahon kasi iilang araw lang naman meron sa isang taon at ilang oras lang sa isang araw. Ayoko din ang napanood kong dinaanan ng ilang workers na di nabigyan ng kontrata at hanggang sa tinanggal ay temporary pa rin at biglaan pa. Sumama ang loob ko doon para sa kanila. Pero kung nabigyan ako at nila Angel ng

3. Korina Sanchez on ABS-CBN retrenchment bloodbath: We are called one by one to be told that we are discontinued

You’re hearing it correctly, so far, I guess. It is a bloodbath. This family is slowly but surely being torn apart. We are called one by one, personally, to be told that we are “discontinued”. Not news to me. I tried to be prepared. But how can you prepare for comatose, or death, really? Others taking it much harder. They have much less options and means. We help those we simply can’t deny, but few can’t save all. Apart from the infliction on the gut, it is the heart where it tugs hardest, this episode. We have yet to see how it settles. This is, and will continue to be, painful. Who knew two years ago that this Christmas Station ID would be the last time, for now, that some of us originals would stand together for a joyful pose? This is one to cherish for a lifetime: L-R: Ted, Zsazsa, Karylle, Christine, Manong Eddie, Coco, Tita Susan, Noli, Sen. Lito, Maja, Regine, Vice, Sarah, Toni, Martin, Marya, Angel, Charo, Bea, Korina, Gerald. KNEELING: Vhong, Dawn, Jericho, Carmi, Piolo, Ogie. You all know us by our first names, right? That’s how long two generations of us is. Ganon katagal tayo nagsama 💔💚💙… @zsazsapadilla @anakarylle @iammajasalvador @reginevalcasid @praybeytbenjamin @justsarahgph @celestinegonzaga @martinnievera @therealangellocsin @charosantos @beaalonzo @andersongeraldjr @vhongx44 @dawnzulueta @jerichorosalesofficial @piolo_pascual @ogiealcasid

7. ‘Asymptomatic’ Mark Villar self-isolating at home, wife Emmeline says

Thank you so much @thejuicerymanila and @iamkarendavila for the vital shots, green booster shots and immunity oxygenators. These immunity boosting shots are 100% natural—no sugar or water added. You will immediately feel the effects after one shot. The taste is very strong and bitter but just bear with it and finish the shot because you’ll feel that your throat will clear right after and you feel it even down to the base of your throat. The throat will become warm down to your esophagus because of the ginger. The vital shot is made of 100% turmeric and ginger and aside from improving your immune system it is anti-inflammatory and aids in digestion. As you may have read or heard, Mark’s PCR/swab test came back positive and since this morning I have been busy fixing up an isolation room for him in a different part of our house. I am making sure to feed him nutritious food and to follow all the medical advice and safety protocols. Thank you for all your messages of concern, support and your prayers. Thank you to all the friends who extended help to us to send us the things we need to fight COVID. Mark is so far asymptomatic, and Emma and I, and our entire household are also doing okay. Although I have been experiencing some manifestations of my lupus for the last two months, but it is manageable. Take good care of your health, dear friends. Eat fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and fresh juices. Moderate exercise is a good idea if your health allows it. Sleep well. Stay at home if you do not have essential activities outside the house. And most importantly, PRAY! We will all get through this!!!

Do you know you cried yourself to sleep for the last 2 nights” Sonny told me on the eve of my 24th year since I joined the ABS-CBN family. Today 24 years ago was my 1st day and for many it will be the last. As we all go through this devastating week .. My heart grieves.. my heart is angry.. Not only do I see the faces of those I love who are in deep pain but I also see the faces of those that inflicted pain on us…fathers and mothers with families hurting other dads and moms with families too.. people with dreams for their kids hurting those with dreams for their own kids as well.. why do you choose to inflict pain on people whose simple joys were just to see their kids grow up to have better lives than themselves.. people who worked tirelessly to be able to build a home and provide for their families.. So devastating.. so many grieving hearts and broken dreams.. so many tears.. To my Kapamilyas. I wish I could give you all long tight hugs .. you know how deeply I love and care about each and everyone of you.. I know your stories, your favorite food, your paulit ulit jokes, how ginataan can make a stressful day disappear, how I’ll always be the worst singer in the entire sales department, I know your sorrows, your little joys, your triumphs as you all know mine.. I love love love you guys.. This is not over, I swear to each and every one of you.. it’s not over! (Drawing by Katricia Loyola)

10. ‘So much divides us:’ Kris Aquino upbeat PH will ‘get better’ soon

during these times, these particular lyrics at the end of my post resonate for me, probably for you, most likely for all of us… please continue to have FAITH because SOON YOU’LL GET BETTER. we must constantly remember, we’re in this together. i’m not blind nor am i deaf, i know so much divides us BUT collectively, WE LOVE OUR MOTHERLAND. MAHAL NATIN ang PILIPINAS at iisa ang hangarin nating lahat- makabangon ang ating bayan, tumibay sa pinagdaanan, naging mas matatatag, mas matapang, at mas handang tumulong sa kapwa. and i hate to make this all about me but who am I supposed to talk to? what am I supposed to do If there’s no you? this won’t go back to normal, if it ever was it’s been years of hoping, and i keep saying it because… ‘cause i have to soon you’ll get better you’ll get better soon ‘Cause you have to… Written by Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff
